Short Prompt Stories - Tales of Five

Prompt #2 - Detective Au

The inspector walked around in circles with her hands behind her back, rage on the point to explode out of her as her eyes laid back on the criminal.
"To be a serial killer you need to kill only 3 people." She said calmly before slamming her hand on the metal desk with anger "AND YOU ALMOST KILLED 22!". There was no answer, just an entertained smile. "What are you smiling for?!" She asked, raising her voice. "You think you're intimidating?" The suspect mumbled with a smug, their shirt still having puddles of blood here and there. "Oh just you wait. You're going to love a cold,humid stone cell, you little-" "You don't even know my name, clown."
"Inspector El Aouina." A voice interrupted their conversation as the door was opened. "Here are the files you asked for. We identified them"
"Thank you, detective Miles. Leave this asshole to me." She said ,angered, and practically ripping the folder away from his hands. Skylar sighed and simply
closed the door again, leaving the woman to her job. She set the folder on the table and started reading the papers. The first thing she did was furrow her eyebrows and glaring towards the handcuffed individual on the other side of the table, who had still an idiotic smile with something somewhat terrifying in it.
"You're a girl??" The inspector scratched their head. "I don't know, why don't you double check?" The murderer in the white shirt asked teasingly, only to flinch
when the inspector's fist hit the table twice as hard. "YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, YOU DIRTY BAG OF-" "Dawwwh..." Alex chuckled.
"Everything you say will be used against you." "Boobs." At that answer the inspector was confused for a moment and it took a few seconds before she realized what it meant.
"You do realize that if this was another state you would probably already be on an electric chair, right?" Hiba said annoyed and about to lose her patience more than she thought.
"Oh no, I'm trembling." "Are you ever going to take this seriously?! You almost slaughtered several teens!" "I know" "And you're even fully sentient about it!" "Yup." Alex confirmed, laying her black shoes on the table and relaxing with her feet on its surface and her legs comfortably stretched. The inspector had to clinch her fists at those answers and almost had the need to choke that bastard right there. "What's wrong, Hibs? Losing your composure?" Alex said within a huge smile across her face. "Oh, you're about to lose that disgusting smile of yours. Don't ever call me that again." "Or what... Hibs?" Suddenly the table was harshly pushed away making Alex drop her legs back onto the floor and lean back onto the chair a little more than before, surprised but yet amused before regaining her sloppy, leant forwards pose. The table now stood diagonally nearby the wall.
"I am going to make you regret thinking about even taking any of those lives." "So go on." She said with another teasing smirk. That's when the inspector finally lost her patience. She went closer to grab the white, bloody, slightly unbuttoned shirt but the moment she did so, the murderer stretched her arms over Hiba's head
and pulled them back to herself with the inspector being in between, having the chain of the handcuffs press against the back of the woman's neck and therefore trapping her right in front of Alex's face. She let out a chuckle. "How cute..." Alex moved forwards a little while holding the inspector firmly trapped and whispered right next to her ear, continuing "I could kill you right now if I wanted. But you're too cute to die so soon. Maybe a few more years..." And after saying that, she pulled her arms away and pushed the inspector by slightly kicking her stomach but not harshly. Just playfully, almost as
if it was all in the murderer's game. The inspector stood there in complete silence, among surprise, confusion and a tiny bit of intimidation and blush. Perhaps she was underestimating her. She glanced at the murderer and almost growled out of anger at what had happened, but she fell silent and grabbed the folder, then proceeded to stomp out the room and slam the door.
Alex let out a chuckle that turned into a laugh quickly enough, throwing her head back as if she had enjoyed it far more than what she should have, as if she had it all under control and all planned out in her game.
The inspector reached her co-workers who were standing behind the glass, watching attentively. She fixed her jacket and tie as if to dismiss just how much that situation had bothered her, but while glaring back at the maniac, she thought quietly to herself.
'She looks so much like Kitsu. And yet, something is awfully wrong with her.'
After a few more seconds of observing and hearing that horrifying laugh, she turned around and left.
