“That 80 bar is so special, WOW 2 years coming and I couldn’t have done it without the ladies on the track ! THANK YOU PARIS, vous êtes incroyable 🇫🇷❤️”

Alysha Newman jumped 4.82 metres, broke her record, established a new Canadian record at the Paris Diamond League yesterday. She is so ready for Tokyo! Congratulations, Alysha!

So I had this idea but I'm not sure if I will continue it. Here it is. 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🕵️‍♂️🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️👮‍♀️👮‍♂️

“Let's start with your name.” It's friendly enough smooth and innocent like the glide of the paper coffee cup crossed the steel table and into shaking hands tipped with bruised nail heads and gauze covered hands. After five years Nyx Ulric has seen a lot, witnessed heinous crimes and careers ended in one night. The shaking boy crossed from him doesn’t phase him a bit, but his partners it might

He gives the mountain of a man a side glance but Gladiolus isn’t looking anywhere else but the black bruises and split lip of a boy that looks to young to experience such physicality just like the rest. A transfer from the Beat, a street cop who was newly minted as a Detective and moved to the Specials Unit, Gladiolus is standing strong as he stares down his first case. The cup spins, fingers rotating the cup as he takes a moment to collect his thoughts. Lip part, dry and caked with blood and then close “why don’t you take a drink?”

The boy nods, lifting the cup and downs it hot and steaming, wincing from the burn. He coughs but it comes out more as a strangled moan, throat raw. Wincing the blond shakes his head and pushes the empty coffee cup back to Nyx. He mouth's thank you his face so contorted in pain that he turns away his body shaking as he barely holds back whimpers. It will tike time for him to tell his story, Nyx leans back turning to look at Crowe who sighs and waves him up. “Hey, could you guys got get us something to eat? I'll stay with him.”

“Yeah, you like subs kid?” The boy sinks down turning away as his shoulders hunch as he attempts to become smaller and dispper from the interrogation room. Crowe nods to the door growing at the pair. They are hindering this more than need be and getting them out of the room is the best way to get something from him. Nodding, Nyx opens the door, holding it for Gladiolus before following him out.

The door snaps closed leaving Crowe and the boy alone. “So names. I'm Detective Altius,” he looks at her hand waiting for it to detach and skittle towards him. When that doesn’t happen right away, he brings his hand up the gauze brown and spotted black in areas. Gently he takes her hand, a beaten dog to food. Crowe leans forward as he whispers, the only sound he came make.

As the door snaps shut behind them, Gladiolus takes off in a furious pace,. Hands clenching and unflinching. He is a trapped Coeurl ready to pounce. As the Commissioners son Gladiolus has grown up in Insomnia's police force. A stable since childhood, everyone has seen, heard or worked with Gladio on some level and now at fifteen his sister is a Junior Patrolman ready to follow in her father and brothers footsteps. Leaning against the wall, Nyx watches him recalling his first case where he punched a wall and broke his hand. “You’re doing fine.”

Gladio stops, narrowing his eyes, “did you see him?” Of course Nyx had. The bruises on his face, the burns and stabs that littered that boys torso adding to the faded and new bruising that bloomed against light skin. The worst he had to turn away, thankful the Crowe had accompanied him to the hospital when they first got the call that a body had been found. He couldn’t watch the nurse as she clinically described the lesions and tears of the almost random cuts that had been so precise in the implementation that the bit would have scars for the remainder of his life. Memory etched on his skin for him and whomever he may welcome into his future. Nyx saw all if him, just like all the rest. “what if that was Prompto?” Gladiolus breathes deeply, his own words pacifying the churning within him. Bringing Nyx's boyfriend into a case, emotional manipulation wasn’t Gladio's forte.

Nyx’s lips pursed together, arms folding over his chest as they shared a moment. Gladio shook his head. “ya know what man, it’s just fucked up. We'll get whoever is doing this, before it is Prom.”

“yeah, we will.” Nyx reaches out slapping Gladiolus hard on the shoulder. Beside them the door opens, Crowe stepping out quickly . Behind her she closed the door and leans back against the cold steel with a deep sigh that shakes them to her core.

Gladio turns to look at their head Detective but she just waves a hand which Nyx ignores. “Any luck?”

“Yeah. Yeah he's…he's nineteen um, comes from a town outside Gralea called Helna.”

Gladio's brows raise, “damn your good. Get a name?”

“I got all that from his name.” She turns leaving room for the two to peer thought the one way mirror and into the interrogation room. The blond runs a shaky hand through his hair, fingers jerking out a clump as he begins rocking lips moving silently with a rapidity near insane. “Loqi Tummelt.”

“He went missing six months ago in Altissia. Whoever did it had been trying to ransom him for a quick gil. Father refused to pay.”
