「Contract」

V

"Good afternoon taichou!"

"Afternoon, taichou."

"Brisko."

"Uh taichou? Isn't he on break?"

"What's he doing here?"

"Good afternoon, Brisko Taichou,"

Walking through the room full of police officers, Sonny greeted them back one by one only to stop at a police woman's desk. "Afternoon, Shikari-San."

"Oh! You're here early senpai, here's the file Chief said to look through." She handed Sonny a classified file, and Sonny accepted it.

Looking around for a certain orange detective, Sonny asks the girl if she saw him in the office today or earlier. "Rias senpai left a few minutes ago. He is probably at the car park where he usually parks."

Sonny immediately knew where to go, so he thanked her and prepared to walk away. Only to be stopped when he felt a tug on his sleeve.

The blonde man scoffed silently. Let me leave, woman. He turned around with his usual charming smile, waiting for Shikari to say a word. "Uh! Senpai.. I didn't know you were engaged now.."

Sonny acted shocked. "You never knew? My fiancé has been with me for the last four months." He lied to get the conversation to end.

Shikari opened her desk's lower compartment, shuffling through some papers until she found a yellow one. "P-Please read this alone.." her voice got quieter. It's as if she's shy.

"Thank you, I will. Now, is that all before I leave?"

".. Can I call you tonight?"

Nope.

That was the last straw for Sonny. It was all too obvious that Shikari likes him. Even a five year old could decipher her emotions. This is getting too irritating for the blonde man.

Sighing, Sonny took a quick read at his wristwatch and gave Shikari an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, my fiancé and I are going to have a little date I planned for us tonight. It's our monthsary."

Shikari looked down, disappointed with his answer. "Okay then.. I will see you soon after your break, I guess. Have a nice rest of your break, Senpai." Sonny only replied with a nod.

Finally.

Finally, the dreaded conversation had ended. He couldn't take any second of talking with the girl. She reminded him of someone from his universe.

Shuddering upon the thought, Sonny exited the station to be met with Mysta, who was leaning against his car, taking a call.

"I have been fucking telling you, bottom. I. Don't. Know. Stop asking me about your ex!"

"You b- dont call me that! Plus, the girl is still my girlfriend! She just went missing okay!?"

"Remind me how long ago that was?" Mysta asks, it can be heard with a little bit of uninterested tone.

"A year ago! Mysta fucking Rias you're a fucking detective for God's sake! Help a homie out!!"

"Shut your mouth, Shoto. We don't even know her name. That's because you never told us her name in the first place, prick!"

"You fat amnesiac-! I had already told you her name, did I not?! Her name's Y-"

Ah.

Perhaps Sonny shouldn't be eavesdropping on a private case.. but he so badly wants to at least sit down in the car and not be under the sun's heat.

And so he approached the screaming British detective. When the aussie got a bit closer, he waved at him to get attention.

"Hold on bitch-" Mysta covered the bottom of his phone speaker with his hand and looked at Sonny softly. "Hey Sonny, you can wait in the car, the AC's on so don't worry. Sorry about this.." The grayish haired brit whispered.

...until he began screaming at the caller on the other line again. Sonny sent his condolences to the person as he knows Mysta doesn't have the best phone microphone quality.

"Oh my god, what the hell is up with him?" Vox questioned Sonny who had just arrived with a tired Mysta.

Sonny shrugged. "He got a phone call about a person's missing girlfriend," he said, eyeing the tired detective taking a sip of orange juice

"Aah.. that makes sense."

"How so?" The blonde asks with a raised brow. Vox answered monotonously: "Because he's maidenless, "

"I heard that, you demon prick!" Mysta screamed from the other room when he had heard what Vox has just said. The two men looked at each other and shrugged.

"..seen Ike on your way here?"

"At break room. You seen Uk- Shu. Have you seen Shu?"

Vox pondered a little while before answering. "I've seen him took his sister out from hq but I don't know if he came back, sorry."

"Ah.. that's alright, I'll ask someone else. See ya, Vox-senpai." The two exchanged goodbye salutes and headed their own way. Sonny of course had a place in mind.

Sonny planned on asking Uki and Fulgur where the whereabouts of Shu could be, when he spotted the obvious red and purple door, he opened it then knocked.

The blonde has high hopes on having answers from the parents of the group. "Hey guys have you seen- whoa!" He quickly covered his eyes with the file in in his hands. "Um, okay, closing the door and counting to ten."

Slam!

Uki and Fulgur could hear him having an embarassed breakdown on the other side of the door when it was them who was supposed to feel that way.

Let's just say they did get a room and Sonny just barged in.

This time, the two heard a knock before the door was opened. "Hi.. have.. Shu?" Sonny said incoherently.

"Sonny babe, I don't understand a word you said, can you say it a bit louder?" Uki says.

"Have you guys.. HA-.. ahem hAve you guys seen shu? Excuse my voice crack haha.."

Fulgur groaned at the question. "He literally left like fifteen minutes ago! How did you not see him?"

Sonny raised the confidential folder in his hand. "I was reading," he shrugged.

"Oo what's it about?"

"It clearly stated in big, red stamp that says confidential, Ukiki." The futuristic cyborg stated.

Uki 'oh'ed. "I'll text Shu to ask where he's at for you Sonny."

"Thanks! Oh and this isn't really anything confidential, Fu-Chan. I just borrowed an unused folder." Fulgur face-palmed at the blonde's statement.

How is he an officer the first place..
