Prologue
"Hey hurry up there with that coal, the last elevator goes up in 5," a man yelled to his mine working buddy. It is a tough job mining coal but it can at least put food on the table. "Yeah give me a second," the reply was muffled by the distance. The mine's life was slowly coming to its end as in each day they brought less and less coal up to the surface. The worker slowly started moving towards the other, relieved that the hard day was over. The man heard a loud snap, a very ominous sound in the mining business. Glancing back he stared in horror as he saw one support beams start to break. "Run!" he yelled in panic, the other man looked to him in confusion and saw that the tunnel was collapsing, eyes wide with terror he too began to run. It was futile though and the earth came down upon them, the last thing they saw though was bloody red glow that came from where the broken pillar once stood.
Yako was currently running away from crazed fans. Why pant won't pantthey give up already! Ever since she became famous all she seemed to being doing these days was running. She noticed she was nearing the detective agency and increased her speed. Almost there…will ….be….safe. If Yako actually took time to think about it the agency would be the last place she would be safe in and would have to deal with her egotistical boss. However as we know she wasn't thinking about the physical torture that she would be subject to once she stepped a foot into that office. pant pant Too many damn stairs. Door in sight she wretched open the door and then quickly slammed it.
Sighing, she leaned on the door and slowly slid down to the floor. Her contact with the floor was brief however and was soon flying through the air only to come crashing down once again. Oww…why hello floor it's so nice to meet your acquaintance again. She and the floor became better acquaintances each and every day all to thanks to the one who was currently standing on her. "Dishrag, since you have so kindly," at the word kindly Yako couldn't help let out a pained moan as her boss Neuro so kindly dug his foot into her spine, "decided to show up early, make yourself useful and go look through the papers for a mystery, Slave." When Neuro finally got off her, Yako immediately went to do what she was told. She would rather not have a reason for her boss to torture her some more.
Highlighter in hand she began to circle possible mysteries, hmm let's see the only good ones I have found so far are….a murder and a kidnapping…everything else won't do. After knowing Neuro for two years already, she has gotten good at spotting possible mysteries. Least it doesn't take me as long to go through these as it used to, she let out a quiet sigh. With her task done she mentally prepared herself for the next part, giving them to Neuro…fun. Somewhat surprised she spotted him napping on the couch. Even though two years have gone by, it is still surprising to see him sleeping. Even though he looks like a regular human when he is like that, it's best to let sleeping demons lie.
Papers in her grasp, she quietly walked over to his desk and set them down. Not knowing how long he was going to sleep and for obvious reasons there was no way in hell she was going to wake him up, she decided to go home. Tiptoeing towards the door as to not make a sound; ok girl, almost free…just a few more steps………oh my god……..what the hell is that thing…Yako was staring in grim fascination at what appeared to be a flower growing on the door, a flower that had very sharp teeth and flaying tentacles that oozed purple goo. Ok…. guess I won't go home. Stuck in the office with nothing better to do Yako decided to make herself useful by looking for mysteries via the computer. Not seeing the smirk that spread over Neuro's face as she moved away from the door.
