What About Us Last Request 52 Spider's Web

It was nine in the morning when I got back. The hospitality of the staffs somewhat forced me to basically leave that room with brush in my mouth. It would not be a lie if I said that with how I had looked, some working girls at the side of the roads might as well have taken pity on me. I was almost certain that Shen would react upon seeing me in this state.

"I am a mess"- In my mind this line always described me accurately. The idea of using a public restroom was out of choice. By catching the first bus I made it back pretty quickly.

10:21 am Apartment

-Oh? You're up. Don't get alarmed; it's earth and I'm pretty sure that there must be some reason you exist.

-(Yawns)Selina...(yawns)hmm..I think I saw a water-hag in my dream. It turns out it was just you standing in front of me the whole time.

-I can make a part of that come true.

-Whaa..t?

-I WILL DROWN YOU IN YOUR SLEEP SOMEDAY!

-Yeahhh...right.

-Go get fresh.

-Thanks(taking the coffee). So, where were you last night..if I'm not breaking the walls again?- I didn't know how to answer him and I also didn't plan on playing dumb. At least I should grow past that phase after how I reacted last time. But a part of my consciousness was afraid of how Shen could start to hate me if I told him the whole truth about the night. So I didn't.

-..I was working...These are the notes I made.

-Oh?

-"Things get complicated during these times of election", "Rich guy of the mansion went down hard", "He would've won easy", "Why suicide?".

-Generous gossip Selina. Should've bought them couple of drinks yourself.

-Yeah? No.

-Indeed...so..our guy was a possible candidate for the election.

-Looks like his game was set. Guy was gonna sit in the chair.

-But for some reason, chose to jump from the roof.

-Makes sense.

-Yeah but a.s.suming that he was forced to do so, there's not much known about his personal life. Apart from that LSD part.

-We know that now. The drug racketeering business has been there for years as per as the reports.

-You're right Sel; with all his resources the guy did well to hide it.

-He had to. It could possibly have changed the outcome of the election given things were revealed.

-...You said you noticed others around the house, right?

-Yes. But rarely together with him...wait! You don't think..

-I'm just interested in the residents..after all they've practically shut themselves from the world. And..

-I know! At their request the medical reports weren't disclosed too. Good work Selina!

It was a close call. Things were somewhat back to normal between us. I am thankful to those people at bar for being so open and loud. The case was not going anywhere soon. In a few days Shen came up with another link we both have been waiting for.
