Shiroâs work was never meant to infect those he loved, but tonight, it might very well have put his best friendâs life on the line.
Heart pounding, Shiro fumbled for his phone as he slammed into their car, siren blaring before his partner had even buckled herself in. They shot off into the night, terror in Shiroâs veins as he raised his phone to his ear, nerves screeching with each moment it rang without being picked up.
âCome on, come onâŚâ
âHi, this is Keith. Leave your message and Iâll get back to you.â
Shiro hung up violently, before dialling again.
âPick up, pick up. Come onââ
The ringing stopped abruptly, and Shiro let out a sigh of relief.
But the voice that answered, while familiar, wasnât the one heâd been hoping for.
âHello, Detective Shirogane.â
The lights dimmed and the cacophony of sound faded as ice filled Shiroâs heart.
Too late. You were too late.
Shiro swallowed. Theyâd thought that this was the end. How naive theyâd been to think that this would all go down smoothly.
After all, didnât they know their target?
