I have studied 6 years to be a police officer, i lived in America but when my dream became true i decided to travel to Japan where i found the love of my life. During a mission my partner took a shot on his head, killing him instantly... and now... here i am... waiting to meet my new partner. "Hi, you must be miss Riley right?" a woman asked probably the new secretary of the station, she´s not young, but i can´t say she is old either. "Yes." I answered giving one step forward, in that moment i could feel my legs shaking and my heart racing. I never know why, but by some reason this happens all the time i meet a new person, i hope i don´t do anything stupid in front of my new partner. "You can enter now, Mr. Ryoko is waiting for you." the woman opened the door to me. Once inside in a chair was a child sleeping i could give him 12 or 15 years, and in the other side of the room was the president of the police station, Mr. Ryoko Todomori, male, 35 years old, his wife died from heart attack 7 years ago. "ah! miss Riley, finally we meet again in this room!" the president looked cheerful, as always, i think nothing can make this man sad, but i think i understand why. "hi Mr. Ryoko!" giving a sigh he getted up walking to the window. "unfortanly, the motive of our meeting it´s not about something we should be happy of. You'r old partner's death was really unexpected and tragic..." a misterious voice sudennly echoed trough the room, looking back to the chair were that child was sleeping. "he gave his life to protect others, when he decided to be a cop he was warned, no, everyone was warned that something like this could happen, as a cop you might need to sacrifice your life." i looked at the child and asked. "Your son Mr. Ryoko?" Mr Ryoko laughed like if what i said was the best joke he heard in ages. "haha! no miss Riley, this is... amh... how do i say this... this is your new partner." i laugh like a crazy, but when i saw their faces my laugh turned into a nervous one. "it's a joke right?" "no, Mr. Kenshin it's your partner from now on." the boy looked at me, with his sleepy eyes, he had long green hairs and pale skin like a ghost, i could almost say he was a vampire. After 1 hour the reunion was over and i went to my house. "hi sweetheart!" i looked at the kitchen where my boyfriend was preparing the dinner, after Hajime´s death i can´t stop having nightmares about dying, i could easily just leave my job and be a teacher maybe. "hi Ace..." "hey, did something happen? you look... sad." i explained to him what happened in the reunion, then he laughed a bit. "Don't worry my love, i'm sure that´s just a litlle prank, i mean, a kid working as a cop? c´mon it´s too dangerous" "yeah... Yeah! You´re right there´s no way thats possible!" after the dinner we went to our bed and we fell asleep.
The Next day i waked up alone, like always, because Ace go to work at 7AM, at least... that's what i was thinking, i went to the kitchen to prepare my breakfast, but when i entered in the living room the TV was turned on, i turned it off and when i turned around i saw him. "You're late." I screamed pointing my gun to Kenshin. "HOW DID YOU GET HERE!!?" i asked slowly hiding my gun. "that's not important right now." "what do you mean? k... excuse me what's your name again?" he answered. "kenshin." "ok, thanks, anyway... just... what are you doing here and how did you get in?" he looked at me with a tired face. "you should take off your pajama and dress your "normal" clothes, we have work to do! i can say what you're thinking: "no one told me nothing About that..." but if you Turn on your cellphone you're going to see at least 16 missed calls." i looked at him and his tired face, his smile was pissing me off. i had nothing to say so i just looked at my cellphon with the exact 16 missed calls he was talking about, after that i dressed up and went back to the living room. "okay, what are you doing here!" "I´m you´r partner remember?" That means that it wasn´t a joke after all, if it was a joke there was no point to him to be here. "Looks like you´re finally ready to listen to me. well then! this morning around 4AM a woman's body was found on the basement of an hotel in tokyo, the door was locked and it was the only way in and out, wich means we have a classic locked room mistery in our hands, but of course this clues are not enough to solve the case!" he threw my car keys in my direction, i don´t know how but i managed to catch them. "Finally, after months i´ll be able to solve another case, let´s go Miss american! we have a case to solve!" Kenshin and i then runned to the place where i have left my car, giving a start to my first case with this new partner!
