They reach the second floor
It’s still as unsettling as ever
The clock ticks
“It’s past 9, but the clock didn’t chime. Is it broken?”
“Maybe it’s for the best. It was really loud”
They see a girl get out of one of the rooms carrying various blankets.
“Hey! If that’s for the blanket fort, then put them back. It’s been canceled!”
“… Who are you”
“Ah, the scary judgmental stare of a teenager who’s cooler than you, it should be considered a war tactic”
“I’m Detective Beebo, and this is my partner Detective Ángel, we would like to ask you some questions”
She looks at Ángel weirdly
“Are you-”
“I am sorry for interrupting, but please do not ask if we are cops. We are not cops. We are private detectives, and we do not associate with the police department ”
“Yeah! We don’t care about the law!”
“That is not what I said, and I’d like that misinformation to not be repeated anywhere else”
“Hehe”
“I see you opening twitter. Put that down”
“Fine, but I’ll keep the hat for longer”
“Wha- you’re not even wearing it! Give it back!”
“It’s the price to pay for my silence”
“Are you guys done?”
“Ah! Yes, ahem, we wanted to ask you about your father, Mr. Coli”
“Do you happen to know anything about him? What might make him want to commit multiple crimes?”
“… Why are you asking?”
“Me?”
“Not you, you are Oliver Beebo, right?”
“Uh, I am. Have we met before?”
She ignores that and turns to Ángel
“Aren’t you the guy who bought the comp-”
“YES! I BUY MANY THINGS HAHA, JUST A HOBBY FROM DETECTIVE WORK! HAH.”
“But that doesn’t really matter right now, yeah? This has nothing to do with that, so we don’t have to talk about it”
“Wha- have THEY met before?
Did they have a fight over a last product on a supermarket or what”
“… I’ll only talk to Beebo”
“What?”
“I have something to ask you”
“Wait, no! We asked first!”
“Please don’t tell me Ángel has some sort of rivalry with a 17 year old girl”
“So? Are you really in a position to ask for anything, ’detective’ Ángel?”
“Never mind, you are right, ladies first”
“Uh, so, you’ll tell me? About your father?”
“Yes. In private”
Ángel does not look happy. He and the teen are exchanging nasty looks
“He has a rivalry with a 17 year old. Ah man, I already decided to keep him, so better get used to it, I guess”
“I guess we’ll separate for a bit”
“Ah, yeah, it’s fine”
“Um, were will you two be?”
“Well, she needs to out those blankets back, so, a room?”
“That’s fine, don’t try hearing from behind the door, you”
“Wh- I would never!”
“I’ll just stay by the stairs.
That way, if anything happens, here or on the first floor, I can quickly check it out!”
“I’d prefer if you weren’t alone”
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, and I can just call Vivi if I get lonely”
“… Alright, but be safe, okay? Don’t you dare not be safe”
He looks a bit sad at that
“I will. Now go get that info from Miss moody teen over there”
“Die”
“Bye-bye to you too”
Oliver and Nadia enter one of the rooms, and there’s not much difference between them, just window placement
She puts the blankets down
“So”
“You know me?”
“Yes, I’ve looked you up online”
“Oh, do you want to hire me?”
“Not quite, I need to know something from you”
“So do I, I’ve been told you know more about your father than others”
She gets quiet
“We can both get what we want”
“You’re right”
“Then, let me ask you, Mr. Detective
Have you ever heard about
House anatomy”
