[SOFTCORE- THE NEIGHBOURHOOD]

"Uh, excuse me. I'm so sorry." Liam quickly apologized, running through people with his CSI kit over his shoulder, "Pardon me. Uh-"

The device on his arms speaks, "Incoming call from Dad."

"Really? Not unless if it's an apology for taking the car without telling me, again." Liam huffs, declining the call but ends up bumping into someone, "Ooh! I'm so sorry, I wouldn't have ran into you if my dad hadn't called. And then again― I wouldn't have been running if I found a different way to arrive at this important date. Not a date-date but― You don't care. Goodbye."

The young boy runs away from the man and shakes his head. He arrives at the crime scene and flashes his badge to get past the yellow tape and overhears Detective Curtis.

"Anyone seen CSI?" Detective Curtis looks around, "Where's Harper-Allen?"

"I'm so sorry, Detective Curtis-" Liam quickly apologized, quick to stand in front of her, "I was on my way― and then realized my dad took the car today, without a warning. So I got to get my bike working― but I decided to speed― not really speed but run all the way-"

"I expect this be the last time, Harper-Allen." She cuts him off and he nods, "Now, can we try to figure out what meta did this."

"Of course." Liam nods, walking past her and exhales deeply. He walks inside the truck and sets his case down.

"Chemical transport truck on its way to Dayton Labs." She explained, "It was attacked this morning."

"That makes two labs and two other transport this week." Liam states, glancing at the woman with a confused expression.

"And like the others, no one saw anyone." The woman adds.

Liam hums and begins to scan the area with the device in his arm, "God, there's residue everywhere."

"Benzene Methanol."

"That's what they stole." Liam informs the detective.

"What's that used for?" Detective Curtis questions.

"Anything really, from nanotech to treating lice." Liam replies, continuing on with his scans.

"Halothane."

"Halothane?" Liam said in a confused tone, tilting his head to the side. He then catches sight of something on the truck and walks over to it― taking the device out. "This truck has an Affinity 4,000 security cameras. Henry's gonna be so jealous."

He jumps off the truck and approaches the detective, "Whenever the 4,000's tampered with, it's failsafe releases a incapating agent― Halothane."

"So you're saying whoever did this picked the lock, disable the camera, and stole might-be-lice medicine?" Detective Curtis looks at the boy, "All before this incapacitating agent could do its job."

Liam nods with a small grin, "And no one saw nothing."

"How is that possible?" Detective Curtis questions with a confused expression and the boy shrugs innocently.

-

"A speedster?" Henry Parker repeats, walking inside his and Liam's lab in the CCPD and closing the door behind them, "Liam― Lee-man, the person that I accept fully from beautiful mind, beautiful soul and crazy imagination-"

Liam rolls his eyes playfully and sets his kit down on his desk as he turns to face his friend― who leaned against the pillar with a playful expression. Henry tilts his head to narrow his eyes on him, "You didn't tell Detective Curtis about your beautiful theory, did you?"
