When Miles reached home, he found cops waiting for him. He then greeted them. They were three cops.
"Miles Wayne?"One cop asked. He was Nathan Bloogs quite old.
"Yes." Miles answered simply.
"You're under arrest." Nathan said handcuffing him. Miles wasn't understanding anything that was happening. He looked at the unique bracelets on his hands and then at the cops.
"What have I done?" Miles asked confused.
The cops ignored him. Nathan then said dramatically ,". You have every right to be silent as every word you say can be used against you . .."
"And the right to have an attorney." Miles completed for him."You're definitely joking. Right?" Miles said jokingly. Antonia was silently glaring at him. Miles smiled at her but Antonia looked as if she was to swallow him. Miles thought it was funny. He then murmured to her that it was fine. The cops then led him to a car.
"Guys, try to be friendly and tell me what I did."
The cops looked at him with disgust. He was the one who committed the crime not them . He was the one supposed to know.
"Shut up." Nathan told him calmly and Miles chuckled.
"Actually I like the police station, let me consider this as paying you a visit." Miles said and the cops said nothing. Of course he was confused and uncalm so he decided to close his eyes and take a nap.

They sat in an investigation room. Miles was sitting opposite Nathan.Nathan then tossed a couple of pictures to him.
"Do you know the girl on the picture?"
Nathan asked calmly. Miles looked at the picture and simply shook his head.
"You studied at the same school." Nathan said calmly
"So?" Miles asked with confusion.
"How don't you know her?"
"I wasn't responsible of knowing everyone in the school."Miles said simply and Nathan looked in his eyes , Miles looked back at him.
" Where where tomorrow at 2 am?" Miles was silent for a while.
"At Green Bar."Miles replied. Nathan then pushed a picture to him. In the picture he seemed to be talking to a lady.
"Nice picture."
"Do you know this girl Mei Clacks? " Nathan asked trying to control his anger
"I don't know her."
"This picture was taken at Green Bar."
"Wow."
"MILES!!" Nathan called him angrily. "Answer Now!" He added but Miles remained silent.
"Why are you silent? "
"I have the right to be silent."
At the moment another cop entered.
"Get out." Nathan told the cop without removing his eyes from Miles.
The cop ignored him and came and whispered something to him. Nathan then looked at Miles with confusion. Miles just shrugged. Nathan then went to the sheriff's office.
"You can't be serious."
"Things are. Send that guy to his wife."
Nathan complained for a while but it was useless. He then went back to the investigation room.
"Am I free to go.?" Miles asked jokingly. Nathan sat where he previously sat.
"Mei Clacks was found dead in Green Bar."
"Yeah it's sad "
"May she rest in peace."
"I will make sure you rot in jail." Nathan said angrily , Miles looked at him for a while. He wasn't the murder but why was it like Nathan actually saw him kill Mei?"
"Please do."
He was let go.He went directly home , finding Antonia stressed.
"I can't believe you were worried" Miles said entering the house.Antonia immediately threw a slipper to him . He didn't dodge intentionaly except if he wanted more trouble. Miles then lazily went and sat in the sofa and closed his eyes.
" What did they take you for?"
"Just a few questions." Miles answered.
Miles and Kim went at the ' Beaty Within ' so that Kim could get outfit to wear at home.
After they were done, they continued walking five guys came towards them .
"Kim Baxter!" The guy called her and she cursed inside. The guys then surrounded them. "You;"One guy said pointing a baseball bat at Miles.
"Hand her over." He added. Miles then removed his hand from the pocket and held Kim's hand.
"I don't want to." He said calmly.
" You the saviour?" One guy asked mockingly.
"Jesus is. He is my role model." Miles replied calmly. The guys then decided to attack them. The guys seemed drunk so they were easily beaten up. Them looked funny. And then they saw other gang coming towards them.
"Fuck." Kim uttered.
"Don't curse." Miles said calmly looking at her. And then they RUN.
"Who're 'em?" Miles asked Kim as they run.
"Tell you later." Kim replied . They were able to successfully hide. After the gang lost them
*
"They work at the Green Bar."Kim told Miles. He cursed inside. _Damn that Green Bar!
"What have you done to them?"
"Broke so many expensive alcohol yesterday night. But it was an accident."
Miles knew Kim hated , no. This would be a wrong word to use.' Didn't like 'as it was the right word to use, like such places so he naturally wondered what Kim was doing there.
"Working of course." Kim replied as if she had read his thoughts.
" Luna now have a job. I'm the older one,have finished my studies and she is still a student." Kim said in a sad tone.
"I really can't lie that I'm not jealous." Kim said calmly. Miles then told her she had to come to work on Monday at the RPC. She didn't believe it at first but in the end she did. She was so thankful.
" Mei Clacks. You know her?" Miles asked and Kim looked at him in disbelief.
" What kind of universe are you from?" Kim asked.
" Come on ,tell me."
"Why do you need to know anyways?"
" She is the reason I was at the police station." Miles said calmly and Kim was confused. " Suspected for murdering her ." he added.
" She's dead?!" Kim asked but didn't take it serious.
" Then , how did you get out?" Kim asked
" I'm going to find out."
" Mei was in the top five beautiful girls in the school. An idol of the RPC." Kim said, she then remembered she wasn't even in the top 100 beautiful girls in the school but who cares? she still didn't seem to believe Mei was dead.
"Now I understand why you don't know her, you were really not interested in girls at the school."
" I saw her at the bar yesterday night. She seemed desperate. She called me over when I was about to go home. . She told me to sit there silently for a while.." Kim said and was silent for a while. At this moment she was realizing that Mei must have really been dead. "Then a man came and she told me it was fine if I go home and of course I was about to go when I bumped into a waitress with expensive alcohol bottles, she also bumped into the one near him. Almost died but I jumped the death hole."
"When did you finish the work?"
"Finished at 11 p.m got home at 12:43. A.m."
Miles wire a serious expression which made Kim quite uncomfortable. Miles then understood why the bar seemed so disorganized when he reached at the bar at 1:50.a.m. he then remembered the second picture Nathan showed him. He tried had to remember himself talking to Mei but didn't. No matter how had he tried he just couldn't.
"Mei died at the Green Bar." Miles told Kim calmly.
"That's why it is closed then?" Kim said . This question was rather to herself than to Miles.
After they went home. When Miles reached home. Antonia was already asleep.So he silently went to sleep. For Kim when she reached at her apartment, her things were out .
"Holy Mother." She said in disbelief. Her things were actually a bag, two plates ,two forks, two spoons and two cups. She looked at them with complex expression.
"I really like this." She said ironically. She chose to sleep there. She had a bad night.
