Bolting down the block, the cold air of the night passes me. The rain pouring down on to my umbrella. Wondering what this new lead will take us on this case. Arabesque number 2 feels like fitting music for this situation.

I finally make it to the bakery. "Baking up Problemz" huh? That's an interesting name... This is definitely the place. There's no one inside besides one woman behind the counter.

I walk in to survey the area. Looking at the multitude of sweets for any clues. They all look amazingly delicious.

Wait.

That must be it!

I go up to the woman at the counter. Knowing her exact intentions. I'll catch her right in the act!

"Hello there mam, are you Rose?"

"Hello there Detective Aron how may I help you tonight?"

"Well I was wondering about this note I found in Mr.Tawakami's home."

"Oh? Yea! I forgot about the cake, Here you are detective!"

She brings out this very... Delicious looking cake... Maybe I can take a bi- No! I must refrain from her trickery. It's time to do what I do best!

"That's it. You stole Yu's book, warning him in advance that you would take it. Once you took it you hid the note hoping that he would find it. Once he did, he would come back to your bakery. Where you would then apologize acting like you had lost the book. He would be deviated by this fact and then you would've given him this cake to cheer him up. Asking him to have a bite where in it would actually be poisoned!"

"Well I... Uh..."

"So it was your plan. You're under arrest!"

"Eh?!"

I put her in handcuffs and then I search for the poison.

"Detective Aron... You've got it all wrong!"

"It's too late to feel guilty."

The door slowly creaks open. The rain is now more loudly pronounced. There's something at the door, but their silhouette is the only thing visible. Violent breathing can be heard. Along with small dripping of water. It slowly begins to walk.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"S-stay right there!"

I forgot my weapon at home today of all days.

"Ohhhhhhhhh Aron!"

I break out in to a deep cold sweat. I hide behind Rose. I'm practically petrified.

"Why are you hiding behind me?!"

"I'm no ghost hunter!"

She calls out to me again.

"Won't you answer to me Aron...?"

"Ye-Yes?"

"Where's my umbrella...?"

"Um-Umbrella?"

I have no clue what it's talking about. It slowly walks towards us revealing Eva. Drenched in water.

"What are you doing?"

"Me? Oh, I was just... Locking her up!"

"Ha..."

What is she thinking?! She heads towards the cake. Grabbing a spoon from behind the counter. She picks up a piece of the cake.

"Wait Eva don't!"

I rush over to stop her from doing such a heinous act.

"Shut up and try it."

She puts the cake in my mouth. It's...Wonderful! A burst of different flavours burst inside my mouth all sweet, delectable, palatable. My body begins to melt just from swallowing the small piece. I...I JUST SWALLOWED THE CAKE! I'm going to die... This is it! Who knows how slow or fast the poison in the cake could be. I lay down onto the floor accepting the fact that this was the end for me... Squirming as it goes through my stomach.

"Aron, what are you doing now?"

"This is it for me Eva! I've eaten the cake..!"

Rose yells at me.

"There's no poison in the cake!"

She must be lying. Such an amazing tasting product could never be this good without some type of drawback!

"I think I can feel it now! Goodbye to such a beautiful world I live in...!"

Eva takes a bite of the cake?! Does she plan to die with me?

"Eva... You didn't have to take a bite! This is something I must suffer by myself and accept my fate."

"It's perfectly fine."

"Eh?"

Now that I think about it, I'm not dying...I think!

"I tried to tell you!"

I get off the ground, feeling pretty good. Rose is pretty annoyed.

"So you didn't try and poison Yu just to keep his book?"

"I was trying to say I made it for him because he asked! The note was about a dog leash I took from them because I lost mine!"

"Really? They don't even have a dog so why do they have a leash?"

"You... Don't wanna know."

"Fine, keep your secrets."

"Thank you. Now can I be uncuffed so I can get back to work?!"

"Ah- Sure..."

I get her out of the cuffs.

"About that missing book... I do know person who could've taken it."

"A lead?"

"His name is Rean and he live about 3 blocks away from here. He usually comes in with Yu and they're always talking about books."

"That sounds promising...!"

Eva had dried off her clothes after that and grabs the umbrella.

"This time don't run off without me, or my umbrella."

"My apologies..."

We head for the door. Rose calls for us one last time.

"Wait! Take this."

She hands us the cake in a box to protect it from the rain.

"Why are you giving us this?"

"Yu told me to give it to you."

"Interesting... Thank you none the less."

We head off to search for Rean.
