Quinn was forced in front of the TV. To see the abandoned building surrounded by police, Susannah with her leg on his back.
"Lily please mercy?" Quinn begged but she pushed in harder. "Keep watching." She blurted.
Seraphine was drinking some water. "Should we butt in?" Sirius looked up and went back to their book.
"Nope not my bonna or my problem." Sirius rubs the back of their neck. Susannah lifts her foot off him and walks away. "I'm gonna help Uncle Grey in the cafe." Susannah left. Luther had coffee in his hand, "She pissed at you." He chuckled.
Quinn cracked his back. "No kidding."
Cafe*
Susannah was washing the glass cup but kept crushing every single one. "You're costing me money, girl!" Grey yelled, as Susannah flinched. "Sorry Grey, I-I just-"
Grey sighed and placed some gems in her hands. "Relax, go out." She hugged him. "Thanks Uncle." She walks out of the cafe and walks around the area but it feels different now. Then Una appeared in front of her, walking backward.
"Hey we haven't talked since yesterday." Una waved. Susannah raises her arm as a Hologram appears at the forearm. Una look around, "Okay to make sure you're not crazy."
"Everything feels different." Susannah sighed. "One of my other powers, Plant detection." Una walk normal and start skipping.
"Yeah I feel more Belladonna, but it's surrounding the city." Susannah felt her skin crawls. Una put her hand under her chin. "That impossible cause the Belladonna can't create plant life just more of itself, so maybe that feeling you had-"
"What about human flesh mixed in?" Susannah cut in. "Th-that could be possible." Susannah grabbed the end of her shirt. "That means-"
"Belladonna and human flesh you say." Una chuckled, she never heard of something like that before. As Susannah shake a little. "That really-"
"Creepy." A voice finished her sentence. Susannah looked up from her hologram to see her. "Officer Bella-Bye." Susannah's voice sounded sweet.
"Detective now Sue." Bella-Bye shows off her arm banded. "You're here for comedy relief." She whispered.
"What was that?"
"What can I help you with?"
"I know a cafe near here let's go inside." Bella-Bye suggested, as they stepped inside.
Bella-Bye got some pudding as Susannah got a tall cold water. "It seems like more people are going missing and it is always in your area."
Susannah looked out the window. "A lot of people live in this area." Bella-Bye move her pudding around. "True but not all of them are Mafia." Susannah's eyes turn a cold stare at her. "Didn't I warn you the first time?" She stated. Bella chuckled and tapped her throat showing a faded scar going across it.
"Oh yes, but I'm a detective now." Susannah stood up. "Good for you, now I'm busy good day." Bella-Bye finishes her pudding. "But I must say. I didn't know you were there." Susannah stopped walking and turned her head to her. "There?" Susannah place her hands on her hips.
"You know what I mean it was over the news." Bella-Bye tilts her head. Susannah laughed and sat back down, Una was watching them. "I like her, Susannah."
"Do you have any proof?" Susannah grinned. "One of the gang members face, have been stomped on but not by normal feet almost metal." Susannah look at Una. "Really you say?" Una who was sitting beside Bella-Bye waving her hands in front of the detective.
"Yes I was just asking but the feet are female size around the age of 20." Bella-Bye placed her hands on her lap. Susannah had her hands under her chin. "Still not proving anything, I will be going now." Susannah stood up again.
"Yes but not every 20 years old female where can afford that perfume your always wearing, I could go to the store and ask for the Holo date." Bella-Bye smiled.
Susannah plop back down. "Will I guess you don't want the department to know you gone rogue, so a report no one can solve."
"Yes human trafficking around Eyebright's casino and only Eyebright." Bella-Bye sighed. Susannah groaned at this pain. "Hmmmmm, I know some people." Bella-Bye cheered right up and stood up. "I know let's go!" She yelled.
Susannah raises her arm up and a hologram appears. "Called Dad."
"Quinn speaking." He answered. "Dad, I'm gonna be out for a little."
"Really are you okay? Do you-" She hung up. "Let be off, Detective." Susannah followed her. "Yes Ma'am."
Rosa Web Casino*
A brown skin woman wearing a red business suit and white heels was looking over holograms, her suit had spider webs designs on her pants. Her name was Bailey. Her hair is in a cornrow with a curly ponytail. "We don't have any opening- Oh Susannah what brings you here?"
"No clean up just need to see Madam Bernadette." Susannah claimed. Bailey leans over Susannah's shoulders to see a young girl. "Fine, who is your friend?"
"Not my friend, but she needs help." Susannah sighed. "I'm De-" Susannah cover her mouth. "Former delinquent , she had some friends go missing in Eyebright's territory." She explained.
Bailey groaned in pain. "Yeah, we also notice that." She clicked her tongue. "Follow me." Bailey went upstairs, Susannah grab Bella-Bye's arm. "I can walk by myself."
"Whatever, it's just crowded." Susannah scoffed. "Aww you cared." Bella-Bye smiled. Una was walking beside them. Bailey knocked on a door. "Madam Bernadette." She called her. But when she opened the door. It was a tall man but in a tight black dress with red ruffled at the end of it. He heels were black with red ribbons around his legs.
His light brown hair was in a curly bob with his beard the same way. His pink eyes stared down at them. "Hello Birdie were at work we shouldn't-" Bailey cover his mouth. "Little Quinn is here to see you." Bailey step to the side.
Madam Bernadette walks over to them. "Aww, Hello Darling's." He cheered. Bella sniffed him. "He smells amazing."
He blushed. "Why thank you, Detective Bella-bye." He voice went flat instead of cheerful. Bella-Bye flinched. "Wait you know?!"
Madam Bernadette cross his arms. "Yes I must say, Susannah has never lie to me so, she must trust you just enough for me not to kill you." He eyes glared her down, she may not be able to see but a cold chill was enough, for her to understand the spot she was in now.
Bella-Bye stood her ground. "Human trafficking and I'm willing to risk my life to save those people." Madam Bernadette caress her face. "You see nothing but see everything. I like you." He chuckled.
"Well you help me, Madam Bernadette?" She asked. He smiled and removed his hand. "Yes and I hope we have Alibi cover?" Bailey sighed and crossed her arms.
Bella-Bye nodded. "Yes I just want to save them?" Madam Bernadette hugged Bailey from behind. "Good girl." Susannah smiled then Bernadette tap her shoulder. "Go to the west of Eyebright seems like another under boss was working with the Mayor."
"Thank you, Madam." Susannah smiled. "And a head ups little flower your Father will be there, I hope you chose the right side." Bailey's words sound like a threat then wise words. She nodded and grabbed Bella-Bye's arm.
Madam Bernadette cuddled into Bailey's hair. "She will be alright, My Bird."
Auction House*
Susannah and Bella-Bye were dressed up but wearing masks. As they sat down in a private box. Then an Auctioneer step. "Don't forget to wear your mask, everyone. The last thing we need is someone from the crowd taken." She joked on stage as everyone clapped. "We will bring out the prized soon." Una was sitting on the rail but then wave at Susannah and pointed to the bathroom.
"I will be back, Bella-Bye." Susannah got up. "Restroom or powder your nose?" She grinned. "Your funny." Susannah sighed and went to the bathroom. Una checked all the stalls as Susannah leaned on the wall.
"What is it?"
"That auctioneer, she smell of Belladonna." Una whispered. Susannah's eyes look shocked but calm herself. "Is she close to the Mayor and Runa?"
"No she smells of Belladonna like you." Una corrected. "She is a clone."
Una chuckled. "Yes it seems this Runa's person been busy." Susannah open the restroom door. "Yeah so must we." Susannah try to go back but a known voice calls for her. "Susannah Belinda." He barked. Susannah clicked her teeth. "Oh bonna." She groaned.
Quinn dragged her into the private box with Luther holding a gun to Bella-Bye's head. "What happened to chilling out?" He snarled.
"Auction can be very relaxing." She smirked. "I don't like this new tone on you, Lily." He barked. "Then find a new sound,Quinn!" She barked back as they argued. "Susannah this gun is giving me a headache." Bella-Bye whined.
"And who is this?!" Quinn questioned her. "A friend." Bella-Bye sanged. "Not my friend!" Susannah raised her arms up. Luther pull up a hologram.
"Detective Ivory Bella-Bye." Luther read out loud. "Detective? Susannah!" Quinn got even more mad. "Now not the time human trafficking and the auction!"
"Now that all the prizes are going to wonderful owners let's take a break to bring out the rare ones." The auctioneer cheered. Susannah look at him. "How many people did you bring?"
"We have some saving them then we blow it up." Quinn explained. Luther pushes the gun in harder into the Detective. "And the Detective?"
"She is under my care." Susannah sighed. "Good cause when we get home-" Quinn didn't finish his word as Susannah pushed him out the way. As a dagger pierced into her arm. It was the Auctioneer doing.
"I know I smell you, 001." She said. Susannah kicked her but the auctioneer blocked her feet and back away. The Auctioneer took off her mask, showing her face. It was like looking in the mirror.
"Who are you, really?" Susannah got in front of Quinn. "I guess you weren't branded like us but I go by 007." She said showing the numbers on her leg.
Susannah put her fist up. "Are there more of you?"
007 put her dagger in front of her face. "Some don't make the cut, I came out alright not perfect like you."
Susannah glared at her. "I see, so I guess I must get rid of you."
077 grinned. "You can try,001."
