*fresh blood on the wall, hastily scrawled across the length of the dining room* "HI MUM, YOU MISSED US BY THIIIIIIS MUCH! LOVE, THE BOYS xx" //remember that one AU? *wiggly brow*
——-‹❀› Special Detective Haruno Sakura was not amused.
Sprawled ungraciously in various positions of writhing death were several…affluent members of society (gangster snobs, she liked to call them in her head), their designer clothes and expensive trinkets splattered with their own blood. One man, fingers adorned with several gemstone rings, lay half-across the table, reaching for a glass of wine that evidently had flecks of gold in it. Too bad he couldn’t reach it in time, came her scoffing thought. The scene was gruesome, but it was nothing she hadn’t seen before; besides, the well-known mafia member and his guests had this coming.
Still, murder was murder, though it didn’t help that she knew exactly who the culprits were.
“What’s with the ‘xx’ this time, huh?” she muttered to herself, lips pursed as she scanned the crime scene with an annoyed downturn of her brows. Her team was busy securing the scene, flashes from cameras already going off as they swept the place for evidence.
You won’t find any, Sakura mused wryly, with a small sense of pride she refused to acknowledge.
“Mum?” her partner, Hyuuga Neji, appeared beside her, almost spooking her with the sudden question. His expression mirrored hers, and she could almost see the gears turning in his head as he struggled to comprehend the words painted messily on the wall. “Who in the world is ‘Mum’, for heaven’s sake?”
Sakura shrugged mildly, appearing composed to even her partner — when, in reality, she supposed she had far too much knowledge for her own good. “Beats me.”
