"What if he asks if me questions?"

"Then you answer them."

"But what if I can't?"

"Then I will."

"Okay, but what if-"

"What if you stop freaking out and leave the car already? We've got a limited window, move."

At last, the distressed detective was pulled out from his seat by who waited just outside. Yoongi had been attempting to calm his partner but they had reached a point where it just didn't seem possible. They were blocks away from reaching Ravi to buy more of the forbidden. This time they came for more than just that, they came for anything that could help stop future murders.

Like their last visit, the males were greeted by a group of people. To this meeting, Jimin held his head high and made sure to look every single person in the eye. He tried his hardest to burn the image of each and everyone greeting them. Even if it wasn't possible for his memory to do such thing, Jimin recalled other things about them. He would recall the girl with bright blue hair, the brunette male with bushy eyebrows, or the couple with the same tattoo of a skull on their arms.

"Lovely seeing you boys again!" One of the woman chirped. "You came just in time too! Ravi was just about to leave, let me take you to him."

The blue haired girl motioned for them follow into the alley way where they had gone with Ravi before. They expected to stop there but it didn't happen. A door was opened and in they were pushed.

"You're two timers now, things change."

Indeed it was a big change from the outside that had a few loiters to a room where people were smoking, drinking, chatting, and sending the detectives glares. Fearing to be recalled, Jimin put his head down. Unfortunately for him his gaze remained in to the ground only for a second for Yoongi's hand pushed his chin back up. The same hand then interlocked with his. People seem to notice their presences after that. Men and women, with all sorts of looks, gave them their attention. The girl leading them even greeted some until they were on the other side of the room where she claimed her job came to an end. The knob of wooden door was turned and in the two went. This new room was quieter and less crowded. Ravi was sitting at a table with packages.

"Oh boys, good to see you again!" He exclaimed happily like he was genuinely excited by their presences. "Come here."

Yoongi took the first step forward, letting go Jimin who was looking about the room. It was nothing special. The walls were white, and there was a single beaten up table in the middle of it. Two women were sitting across from Ravi packaging up the goods. It was not only the one they came to purchase, there were several.

"I hope you guys' enjoyed your last stack, yes?"

"We did."

"What did you see?" Ravi's eyes lighted up. "I love hearing the first timers' visions."

The male had said the question as to apply to both but his eyes were on Jimin only. It was in him that his interested lied. Yoongi almost become irrelevant and they all knew it.

"Uh...well I can't exactly remember but it was...cool."

Ravi nodded his head with a proud grin. "A second time will fix that. Just one then?"

Yoongi confirmed only one would be necessary between the two seeming it worked enough last time. The lie past by like a breeze on a windy night, unnoticed. The questioning began.

"So, we've got some questions about this lovely things if you don't mind answering us."

"Shoot."

"Well first of all, what's it called?"

"Depends on the coloring of it you get, you boys got a lily pad last time. If you'd like a different color then we call it by a flower with the same color. I'm going to let you guys try red so you'll be getting a rose. The creator found it a nice way to distinguish each one, I just think he thought it clever."

"The creator?"

"Yes, the guy who made this. He's in charge of this whole thing, I'm simply one if his pawn. Next question."

Each detective made note of the answer before asking the next question.

"Last time I asked you if I had too much it could kill me? Is there perhaps a limit before that happens? I would kind of like to live to see my thirties." Jimin chuckled nervously.

"Well too much of anything can kill you." Ravi chuckled. "Just go by instinct."

The answer was the last they were given as Ravi handed over the good while Yoongi the money. He had to be gone soon so he had them escorted back out of the alley where they bid farewell to the group sitting outside it. It appeared the same people had stayed except one which was replaced. The blue haired girl vanished to be replaced by a male who who kept his head down.

"You got a rose!?" One of the males exclaimed. "Rosie loves that one! I think it's just cause it like her name."

The girl, Rosie smiled widely as she slapped her friend. "It's not, I swear. Plus I'm not the only one that prefers rose. Jungkook here does too."

The mysterious male raised his head to reveal a face both detectives had come to know all to well given they work with who it belonged to. The young male smiled and raised his hand to greet them.

"It's uh...it's good, you'll enjoy it."

The only thing the two detectives would be enjoying was hearing the explanation behind the other rookie's involvement.
