murder case…? nya!

“You never told me you had been to Maleenay!”

I blew up on the elevator to the thirty-ninth floor. Yuri just stared straight ahead. It was just the two of us riding up. Even when there is friction, we know we are team, now and for always.

“You’re telling me you were hiding this strapping young buck this whole time? That’s a little disturbing.”

“But…”

Yuri looked like she was about to cry, and her body writhed in some psychological pain. Man, is she predictable! She plays this transparent poker hand every single time. Pull your head out, sister!

“I was in Maleenay for four years,” said Yuri. “Remember, I stayed with my aunt? When I was eight years old, okay? We were just kids!”

“Hmm… ?” Now my eyes got narrow, and I jutted out my chin. “Just kids, you say?”

“What are you trying to…?” Yuri’s eyes showed signs of panic. She should have had an umbrella for the complaints I was about to rain on her.

“Yuri! Every time you could have included me in the conversation, you just laughed like a little girl. ‘Yuri, you have grown into a real fine woman,’ ‘Oh, Thunder, you—’ ‘You say big brother, but check out my lil’ sis, Lucha’s legs. She’d give you a run fer yer money!’…Who talks like this?…And what about the fact that I’m standing there next to you like an idiot. Hello?!”

“But, you see—”

“No ‘buts’!”

My nostrils were flaring. Even I couldn’t control my eyes rolling up into my head.

“But he’s a close friend I haven’t seen in seven years!” Yuri was trying to turn things around on me. “We have the freedom to talk however we want!”

“Freedom is fine. Be free!” I was down to my last nerve. “But freely using our name, and then ignoring your partner is a little heartless, don’t you think? We are talking about a man here! A handsome man! And the girl he’s with is his sister! I wanted to take a shot at a date, but I can’t even get an introduction! Is this how partners treat each other?”

“Hmmm…?”

A broad smile grew across Yuri’s face. Yikes! I shrieked inside my head. A cold chill ran down my spine. I was on a roll, and then I, I spilled the beans…

“So the truth comes out…” Yuri stated with pride. Tee-hee-hee…

“That’s what I figured, anyway…”

Tee-hee-hee…

“You really are shallow, you know…”

Tee-hee-hee. Isn’t that going a little too far—?

“So what?!” I launched a deadly assault. “So what?! Where is the crime in checking out a delicious-looking stud?!”

“HEE ha ha ha!” Yuri was antagonizing me with her snicker. “You can say whatever you like. I’ve known Thunder for a long time. With Lucha, the three of us hung out together every day. You wouldn’t have a chance getting Thunder! HEE ha ha…”

“Th, th, th…” I was at a loss for words. I was being trumped! I couldn’t win this war of words this way! Now that it came to this…

“Shoo…”

I took a deep breath and turned to Yuri. I
