" Raya! there you are " Dean called as he saw her walk into Joe's office."We've been waiting for you, how you feeling?" He continued worry evident in his eyes. She was on the brink of tears when he last saw her , but the girl in front of him looked determined and no less ruthless a cold look in her eyes as she stared at Joe awaiting what he had to say. ' she'll be okay right' He thought as he rested on the shelf looking at Joe intently.

" I really don't get my uncle sometimes Quinn " Clark said as he ate the last bit of ramen on his plate
" You shouldn't have acted like that ..., lest I know everyone said they knew the dead girl,.. you should've been sympathetic instead of tagging the two of them unprofessional, ..how would you have reacted if you walked into a crime scene and uncovered the body only to see either me or Inari, ..or even Old man Toga?" Quinn replied as he quickly ate his own plate of ramen, he wondered what was wrong with his friend as he always tended to see others in his own light believing others should be like him
" Have you forgotten Clarks lack of observation, once he has a first impression he's hooked on it for his whole life " Inari chipped in as she took Clarks plate off of the counter, "thank you" Clark muttered, more to himself than anyone on the counter, his eyes darting around the place and a frown on his face clearly annoyed over the fact that no one sided with him " I'll apologize tomorrow" He finally spoke up clearly defeated by his two best friends, " Though in my opinion she should have put herself together much earlier, her friend should've covered the body and taken her to the other side, he shouldn't have ratted out on me , and my uncle should accessed the situation from my angle first before...." he started blabbing before he was Interrupted "Who is this ' unprofessional' you kids keep on arguing about ?" the mature voice spoke , causing the trio to turn around a shocked expression on thier faces
"R..r..rōjin!!!" Quinn yelped almost falling off his seat,
" That's what your calling me now eh?" Toga replied smugly with a smirk on his face , his almost white beard slightly tilted from how much he was smiling, a man in his mid fifties, he looked younger than that as he had enough to do to keep him looking young his well built frame looked like that of an MME fighter that still went on stage ,anyone who saw him found it hard to believe all he did was sell Ramen, they weren't wrong though as he still exercised when ever he thought the 'kids' .
" She's no one" Clark replied returning to reality, though his face still looked surprised as to how Toga arrived without warning , " You should take things easy , your ' opinion' is way too pointless in the act of justifying your actions, it's up to you if you want to apologize or not, it's all about what you deem appropriate" , he continued nonetheless minding the boy's reaction as he motioned to Inari to follow him.

" Today must've been pretty hard on you" Joe started as he addressed Raya and Dean, " And I'm sorry about that, I suppose you've already met your new comrade Clark, he may be a jerk , but you might have to condone him for the time being , at least until we catch the Flatliner,, so the earlier the you guys wrap things up the better" Joe said closing the files on the table, " Dismissed", " Thanks" Raya muttered more to herself than Joe as she left the office ,Dean quickly followed behind her but was called back by Joe, " Dean.. Keep an eye on Raya , make sure she doesn't do anything rash" Joe said his eyes like a father worried about his child, Dean was no less surprised to see Joe like that, ' He must miss Nicole too' Dean thought as he remembered the times when Nicole would come to visit them at the academy, and how close she was to Joe, " Kay,.." Dean started as he stared at Joe his mind drifting to how Joe would call Nicole and Raya his little girls ' he's been with us for so long' Dean thought as he stared at him holding part of the door, " Anything wrong ?" Joe asked as he glanced at Dean, " Don't take this too hard, and dont be hard on yourself too" Dean said ,with a sad look in his eyes as he claims sed the door behind him breathing a heavy sigh of exhaustion.
