Case File 22: Toxicity By Lavender Rose

Hey guys~! Sorry if this is late, but here's a late Valentine's Day tribute to Sapphire and Martin. Hope you enjoy~...

Today was a good day. At least, that's what Sapphire thought. Why?...because Valentine's Day was tomorrow. Friends, old, new, and including inter-species couples would express their love for each other on that fateful day, but that doesn't mean some would celebrate it a day earlier. 

They were headed back to their room. On the way, they ran into the manager, an antelope and a friend of Martin's.

"Hey Martin, Sapphire."

"Hey Chris."

"Did you have a good time at the pool?"

"Yes, we did. Thanks for giving us this treatment. I feel really bad...."

"Oh, don't be," Chris waved his hoof, "it was my pleasure. For once, this tiger needed my help."

"Oh laugh it up, pal," Martin smirked.

He then turns his attention to Sapphire, admiring her appearance that somehow glows. 

"What's up?"

"O-oh, sorry," he sheepishly smiled, "did you say something?"

"You sort of spaced out there."

"It's nothing." 

Sapphire hummed to herself, still wondering what he could be thinking.

The two said their goodbyes and took the elevator up to the top floor. When they arrived, Sapphire quickly ran over to the bed and plopped onto it.

"Hah~ I'm so tired~!"

"Ahaha...we've been relaxing this whole time, and you say you're tired?"

"I haven't had a vacation in awhile," she sighed, "so don't judge me." 

Martin laid beside her, staring at the ceiling.

"So...what should we do later on?"

"I don't know..."

"....Well, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty hungry. Let's head down to the buffet."

"Okay. Let me just take a shower." 

Sapphire walked towards the bathroom. 

[Minutes later...]

Sapphire was washing her body. As the water fell on her, she was still distracted by how Martin was acting. It's true that he admit he had a surprise waiting for her, but no matter how much she pestered him, he'd just chuckle and say 'don't spoil it.' It was charming, but she was dying to know what he had in store. 

'He's such a tease.'

RING~

Sapphire heard her phone ringing. She opened the shower door and reached for it.

"Sapphire Lovell, here....wait, what did you say?" 

Martin turned to see Sapphire's head peeking out. 

"Martin, go down to the lobby and meet Chris! There's an emergency!"

"What?"

"Bring your badge and get changed into your uniform! Hurry!"

"O-Okay!" 

What they saw, they couldn't believe it. Right in front of the hotel, three crates were laid next to the fountain. Sapphire slightly opened one crate, and in an instant, her eyes widened. Inside, a female mammal, her body covered in purple petals. She quickly closed it.
