Shiro’s work was never meant to infect those he loved, but tonight, it might very well have put his best friend’s 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 Shiro’s veins as he raised his phone to his ear, nerves screeching with each moment it rang without being picked up.
“Hi, this is Keith. Leave your message and I’ll get back to you.”
Shiro hung up violently, before dialling again.
“Pick up, pick up. Come on—”
The ringing stopped abruptly, and Shiro let out a sigh of relief.
But the voice that answered, while familiar, wasn’t the one he’d been hoping for.
“Hello, Detective Shirogane.”
The lights dimmed and the cacophony of sound faded as ice filled Shiro’s heart.
Too late. You were too late.
Shiro swallowed. They’d thought that this was the end. How naive they’d been to think that this would all go down smoothly.
After all, didn’t they know their target?
