"Help! Help!" A woman in the the early 40's shouted.
"Catch him! He's a thief!" A teenager in 15 years old also shouted as she tried to comfort the woman.
Noir, Mavi and Violet that just arrived at the scene rush toward the victim. Mavi surprised because he recognised both of them.
"Vi you check the victim, Noir and I will capture the thief." Mavi said.
"Roger! I bring them to nearest clinic before take them back to the Alliance." Violet replied. Mavi and Noir dash toward the thief that already far away nearing one corner of the alley nearby.
"Wind barrier!" shouted Noir creating a wind barrier in front of the thief. The thief stops all of sudden and create a stone pillar so that he can escape by jumping over the wind barrier.
"Light orb!" Mavi used his power to create a big light transparent orb that trap the thief as he tries to jump over the wind barrier.
"Earth bullets!" the thief manage to shoot a few bullet toward Mavi and Noir with one of the bullets manage to scratch on Noir cheek causing it to bleed.
"Wind!" Noir said as she blends her power with Mavi's light orb making it become more harder for the thief to break it from inside.
"Wow, Noir. My light orb never this hard before. Luz right, you really is a 'jack'." Mavi amazed.
"Let bring him back to Alliance." Noir said after the thief giving up as he exhausted using his power to break out from the orb. Mavi nod and tied the thief up. Both of them taking the thief to the Alliance while Noir retrieved the bag that the thief snatch from the woman.
At the Imperial Alliance...
"I take him to the prison. Can you fill in the report?" Mavi said.
"Alright then. I need to give back the bag to the woman." Noir said as she walks toward the public report counter.
Noir saw the woman and the teenager sitting there waiting. She walks toward them and greeted them. She gives back her bag which making the woman feel grateful. Both of them thanking her.
"Miss, your cheek..." the woman surprised to see the scratch on Noir's cheek.
"Oh, don't worry this just a small scratch only." Noir brushed it off.
"But it still bleeding." the woman said with worry.
"I get it bandage after this. Have you call your family members about this matter?" Noir said again.
"Yes, my nephew with come shortly." The woman replied.
"Well then, I need to go mam. I need to fill the report. If you need anything, you can call the officer at the counter for help." Noir said and walked toward the entrance that lead toward her department. The woman thanks her again and sit down with the teenager waiting for her nephew came.
Noir walk into the department and bump with Luz that walk out from the department. Luz manages to catch Noir from falling down. He apologised and the scratch on her cheek get his attention. He pulled Noir to the nearest chair and ask her sit down. Luckily, only the two of them in the department as the others have work outside the office.
Luz takes out his handkerchief and wet it a little before he wiped the blood on Noir cheek.
"What happen?" Luz asked as his hand wiped the dried blood on Noir cheek.
"Just a scratch while catching the thief back then." Noir replied.
Luz wiped Noir wet cheek using the other end of his handkerchief that dry. He takes out a bandage with camo pattern and puts it on Noir cheek. His behaviour making Noir blush a little as no one ever treat her. She thanking him for treating her wound. Luz feels awkward as he realizes how close he is with Noir.
"Please be careful next time." he said nervously. Noir nod as her face reddens. A massage tone making Noir pulled out her handphone and read the message.
"Lieutenant Luz, permission for an hour break. I need to pick up my brother at the train station." Noir asked.
"Brother? If I not mistaken Raven said he only have two sisters." Luz confused.
"Oh, that's my sworn brother. He and his wife just come back from vacation at Rose City. They the one that help me when I'm first came to this city. I plan to introduce them to Raven when they back from vacation." Noir explained.
"Alright then, permission granted. I need to go now. My aunt come visit me with my little sister. They already at the Alliance." Luz agreed and walked out from the office.
As both of them walk separate way, Luz stop Noir as he shouted her name. Noir turn her head and waiting for Luz to talk.
"Noir... Ermmm... Noir... I..." Luz spoked but his word hard to came out.
"What is it this time, Luz?" Noir asked as she saw how hesitate Luz was.
"Well, I want to ask permission if my aunt and my sister can stay at the mansion for a while." Luz said with hesitation.
"Fine, tell Mica to prepare the guest room. Are they alright if the room on the ground floor? Because the first floor already been occupied by us." Noir replied.
"It's alright. Thanks again. See you back home." Luz thanking her and both of the walk separate way.
At the public report counter lobby...
"Aunt Scarlet! Lumiere!" Luz rush toward a woman and a teenager that sitting there waiting for someone.
Luz worried when Scarlet called him saying that they being robbed and already at the Alliance. Luz inspects both of them and feels relief to see both of them didn't have any injuries. Rosa that come by a second later after being inform by Lumiere also feel relief when both of them safe and not hurt.
"Sister Rosa, can we stay with you?" asked Lumiere. Rosa turns toward Luz.
"Noir already approve it. I already inform Mica. So, they can stay there until their vacation over." Luz explained.
"Are you saying you living with Rosa?" Scarlet surprised.
"No. Not like that. That place has many rooms. I already ask the owner to let both of you stay there for a while. Frost and Mavi also stay there." Luz explained. Scarlet understood.
"Yes! I can sleepover with sister Rosa." Lumiere said happily.
"Yeay..." Rosa said with hesitation as she not too happy with Lumiere suggestion. This been notice by Scarlet but she just stays silent as she sometimes annoys with Rosa attitude.
"You already clock out?" Luz asked Rosa.
"Yes, I just clock out before come here." Rosa answered.
"Can you bring them there?" Luz asked again.
"Alright. Auntie, Lumiere let's go. I take you there after getting your luggage." Rosa said and the three of them walk out from the Alliance.
