Aixela's Pov:
"Wow! Ms. Supresencia, I almost don't recognize you." The inspector said to me while nodding. "Good job, Officer Dy!" He praised him.
"That's my job, Sir," He humbly said.
"How are you, Ms. Supresencia? Have you adjusted to your situation now?" The inspector asked me.
I picked up the paper and ballpen and started writing. [I'm completely fine, Sir. I'm still practicing not to speak.]
"Well, I'm glad to know that," He said.
"Later I will meet with my acquaintances in the other precincts to get the records I asked for. I will try to check if we can get any lead or even a little information from there," said Mister Police Officer.
"All right," The inspector replied. "But what about Ms. Supresencia? Will you take her with you or will you take her home first?"
I looked at Mister Police Officer and read his thoughts in his eyes.
"I will take her home first before I meet them," He answered.
I raised an eyebrow at what he said.
"Why Ms. Supresencia? Is there a problem?" The inspector asked. He apparently noticed that I did not agree with Anton's answer.
[You shouldn't leave me alone, should you? I am under your protection program, right?] I wrote on the paper.
"But it's more dangerous if you stay outside. We don't know how much the culprit knows about you so it's still safer if you stay at home," Anton replied.
[But what if the culprit suddenly shows up to me while I'm alone in your house?]
He was going to answer, but the inspector spoke. "All right, I think it's better for Ms. Supresencia to be here at the precinct first while you meet with them. We'll take care of her."
I replied with a hard nod while Anton looked annoyed. What now? Aish! Was he retaliating against me for last night?
"All right then, submit your report and leave Ms. Supresencia to Detective Givenchy first. I'll be back to my office. Just let me know if there's a problem," The inspector said.
"Yes, Inspector," Mister Police Officer saluted.
They got up so I stood up too. Before he walked away, he looked at me sharply as if he was going to eat me.
"Don't make a fuss while I'm away," He said and walked straight. What? Really?!
¬¬¬
"Detective Givenchy!" Mister Police Officer greeted a man sitting as we approached him. "I'm sure you already know her. She was the witness in the case you are holding now."
"Ah! Aixela Supresencia, right?" He asked and I nodded. "Detective Noah Givenchy of Homicide Department," He said and offered to shake hands.
"I'll leave her with you first, I just need to take care of something. Inspector also ordered it. Don't worry. It won't take long," said Mister Police Officer.
"It's okay, don't worry. I'm not doing much and it looks like I won't have a hard time watching her," Detective Givenchy replied.
He suddenly grinned and he was obviously holding back a laugh.
"Actually..." He whispered to Detective Givenchy what he said next so I didn't hear it. They suddenly smiled because of that.
What was that? Is he backstabbing me? Just as I thought, he will retaliate. That madman!
"All right, Detective. I'll go first," He said and left.
"Are you ok?" The detective asked me. I nod as a reply.
"So, what should I call you? Ms. Supresencia? Axiela?"
[Just call me Xela.] I showed him what I had written.
"Oh, so your nickname is Xela. Is that also what Officer Dy calls you?" He asked. I shook my head.
"In that case, I'll be the first to call you Xela? My pleasure," He joked. We both just smiled.
"All right, sit here while you wait. If you need anything..." He pointed to the paper and ball pen as if to say that I should just write what I need. He made an OK sign or a ring gesture to confirm my answer that I imitated so we just smiled and he went back to what he was doing earlier.
Compared to the previous two detectives I saw, as well as that Officer Dy, Detective Givenchy was kinder and more comfortable to be with. When he noticed that I was a little bored, he told me to drink coffee with him so we sat on a bench next to their vending machine.
"Does it taste good?" He asked and I answered with a ring gesture.
Sometime later, we saw a female police officer rushing to the vending machine and buys a bottled coffee.
"Officer Dy!" She called him as she runs towards him.
"Take this, you look so tired," She said with a smile on her face.
Officer Dy just stared at her while the female police officer keeps on offering him the coffee.
"I can get my own coffee, ok?" He said and left straight away.
"Tsk tsk!" I was just shocked by what he did.
"You should get used to Anton's actions," Detective Givenchy suddenly said.
I wrote on paper. [Is he really like that?]
"Anton is really cold, especially with women. He is often angry and always rude. But he is kind. He also works hard. He really wants to be a detective."
[Why is he like that? Why does he seem allergic to women?"] I wrote again.
"I don't know either. But Inspector said Anton has been already like that when he was still young. Inspector also took care of him when his father died."
So his father is already dead? We are the same.
"Is that why they don't seem ok with the two detectives? Because they think your inspector's favorite is Anton?" I asked in the letter.
"Maybe..." He said. "You're also good at understanding situations. Maybe that's why you became a witness." We just laughed together.
"Detective Givenchy, you're just here. Detective Ishigami is looking for you," said a man who approached us.
He looked at me as if hesitant to leave me so I wrote. [It's ok. I'm fine here.]
"Ok, stay here first. I'll be back," He said, which I nodded and he left.
I was going to drink coffee, but there seems to be nothing left.
"Here," I was shocked when someone talked. "Take it. Looks like you need it more."
She sadly put the bottled coffee next to me and left.
'Officer Yzerman?' I said in my mind as I read her name tag.
