Code 810: Disappearance of the Diatmica

Chapter Thirty

Detective Keiko chooses to stay home when she is given time to rest by Mr. Brox in solving the case this time rather than going out with detective Egan or Birdella.

This afternoon, when their working hours should have been over detective Egan chose to continue his investigation of the case that dragged Diatmika in it.

“Ngapain lo is still here Kei?“ detective Egan asked when he saw his partner was still busy flipping back a set of files in his tabgan.

Busy Detective Keiko gasped in shock and looked at his partner and said, “Gue again tried to think about and find answers to this case.“

“Not told you to go home with Mr Brox?“ ask detective Egan.

“Iya. But— “

“Ngga do a lot but, do not need a lot of reasons. Now either you go home or I laprin lo to Mr. Brox. Do you know what the consequences are?“

“Gue will be exited from this case!?“ detective Keiko hesitated.

Detective Egan picks up his partner's suit hanging in the storage cabinet and walks up to detective Keiko. She helps detective Keiko to get up and put the jacket on to her partner.

“It's you know the answer. Now you go home first, tomorrow back here with a much better condition and help me,” said detective Egan.

“But...lo himself instead remains here, overtime for the sake of this case. Why can't I?“ whinek detective Keiko.

“My condition is much fitter than lo, it's a reality. While your mood is not good. You need a break Kei.“

“Oh, you all right!? But you were shocked when I called. It was marked lo lack of focus.“ Of course, the notoriously stubborn detective Egan does not want to lose the debate from his partner.

“So I again thought not dreamt,” detective Keiko has not been willing to give up.

“Phone deh Birdella, maybe he can take you out to relax for a moment. Eat your favorite food, sit in your favorite place or just a leisurely walk to the house,” detective Egan proposed.

“Tapi— “

“Let's go fast, don't take Mr. Brox still see lo. He's coming home soon.“ Detective Egan repeatedly looked at his watch.

With laziness, detective Keiko finally fulfilled the desire of her partner who looked very impatient to drive her out of their room.

After putting on his jacket and taking the keys to the car he had placed in his drawer, detective Keiko leaves his study and lets detective Egan overtime for the sake of the case. Detective Keiko promised herself that tomorrow would be her day for the case.

And finally, tonight here he is. In her quiet but full of warmth. The house he had occupied since he first joined the police force.

A glass of his own warm tea and a plate of his mama's pastries now accompanied him to enjoy the song of the spatter that made him feel at ease, a taste he had not had anywhere in the past few days.

Detective Keiko sits on her beloved long sofa, the lighted television only makes her feel less alone inside the house but she doesn't notice at all what shows are being aired.
