19 Night Time Disruption (2/2)

Ezra jumped a little from his spot and found Mira coming into the room with a tray of food in her hands.

”N-No! Sorry, I was just talking to myself. Hehe...” He scratched his head awkwardly.

The demon gave the redhead a small look for a little while before turning into a grin, ”Well don't do it to often. I do not want to be anywhere crazy aside what we're doing now.”

She sat on another bed beside him while putting the meal aside on the nightstand, ”So anything new?”

Ezra shook his head, ”None so far. I've gone over these papers three times already and there's isn't anything else that's specific enough to why these people have been abducted. There's no pattern or anything.”

”Let's review what we know from today. Maybe that will help.” Mira suggested

The redhead nodded, ”You're right, I'll start first. So far what we know that only four people have been abducted for the past two months. Several of which who have started to go missing during the night. Although the Mayor said he put the townsfolk on a strict curfew, there still has been an act of break-in and attempted kidnaping with the people.”

Mira spoke, ”The old man also said he had several officers staying late at night on every street in town. There's also a slight possibility that the Commell guy could be a suspect based on the way Kennedy talked about him. Or at least he should be am accomplice by helping the kidnappers in some way.”

”That is true. Kennedy-san did say he was the new Police Chief around town, but he does go around abusing his authority. However, we haven't met the man yet, so we don't know if he's working with the kidnapers or not.”

”I just hope we don't. The guy sounds like a real creep if you ask me.” Mira shuddered before she continued.

”But there's one thing I don't get. Only four people have gone missing for the past two months, and not anymore except two nights ago. I don't support the thought, but if I were a kidnaper for some weird, demon summoning cult, I would have gathered more than that.”

Ezra nodded at that statement. He was thinking the kidnapers were being precautions of what they were doing and tried to leave very little evidence for anyone to find them. Or maybe they're going after a specific group of people?

Looking back from today, he and Mira had visited the residences and stores of other people who either had a friend or family taken from them. So far it had been the same responses of people not returning during the night.

There was even one case where a man said he and a groups of friends were walking back from the bar when all of the sudden they were ambushed by some men in dark cloaks.

They were unconscious at the time, but when they came to only one of their friends was taken. So it must be a specific type of person that was being taken. But why?

”Ez?” Ezra snapped out of his thoughts as Mira was called out his name, ”O-Oh, sorry, Mira. Guess I was to deep in thinking about the investigation.”

”Well don't think to hard. Wouldn't want my partner to have his brain fried. Here, have something to eat first before it gets cold. Mushroom soup.” Mira smiled as she passed the bowl to her partner.

”Thank you, Mira.” He smiled in thanks.

Ezra took the spoon and put it in his mouth and savoured the flavour. It tasted good! Taking another scoop, Ezra ate in peace before Mira suddenly spoke again.

”By the way, Ez, wanna join me in the shower later?”

”Pffft!”

Ezra comically spit out the soup in his mouth and as the demoness began laughing at him!

”Ahahaha! Y-You should've seen your face! It was hilarious!” The demoness laughed as Ezra's face turned into the same color as his hair.

”M-Mira!”

The white-haired woman stopped laughing while weeping a tear from her eye, ”Oh relax, I was just joking. Unless you really want to join me for a shower? I'm ok with it, really...If its you....”

Mira said the last part in a barely audible voice as her cheeks became slightly red while Ezra just tilted his head at those inaudible last words.

She then grinned seductively as she playfully grabbed his hands, ”Think about it, a beautiful girl like me asking a guy like you to join me in the bathroom alone together~. Other guys would kill for this, you know?”

Ezra's face turned redder in embarrassment and turned away which amused her. She was about to continue her teasing by telling him to at least sleep with her, but then.....

”KYAAAHHH!”
