[b]Targa Household[/b]

Yuuma nodded in affirmation. [color=f7976a]"Perhaps one person was enough to satisfy the ghoul's hunger. The other two kills were just to eliminate witnesses. But..."[/color]

The boy lowered the camera and bit at the tip of his thumb, deep in thought. [color=f7976a]"Why go through the trouble of breaking into a home? Why leave potential food around, instead of cleaning up and taking it with you? The ghoul could have just picked off a random drunk on the streets or something instead. Like this, we've got tons of evidence. Either our culprit is an idiot, or there was more purpose to this than just feeding."[/color]

As Luca went off to explore more of the house, the young bureau investigator came stumbling back into the house, holding a tablet out. Yuuma took it and handed him back his camera.

[color=c4df9b]"Um, those are the two people who lived here officially, sir,"[/color] he said, pointing to the screen. 

[color=f7976a]"A married couple..."[/color] he muttered, quickly confirming that the two identifiable bodies were them. Two people living in the house, and three bodies. Possibly a friend staying over or--

[color=c4df9b]"But I asked the neighbor that first called the police here,"[/color] the investigator spoke up, breaking Yuuma's train of thought. [color=c4df9b]"And he said there was also a teen-aged boy, named Targa Akurai, who lived here. We have no information on him registered, sir."[/color]

Yuuma looked up, a bit of surprise on his face. [color=f7976a]"What was his relation to the couple?"[/color]

[color=c4df9b]"Um, apparently, he lost his parents years ago, and the two decided to take him in. No blood relation, it looks like."[/color]

[color=f7976a]"That's... off,"[/color] Yuuma said, thinking out loud. He then looked to the puddle of bones. [color=f7976a]"The kid...?"[/color] 

[color=c4df9b]"Th-the parents were human,"[/color] the bureau investigator offered, earning him an annoyed look from Yuuma. 

[color=f7976a]"Yes, I can see that. Check their blood anyways."[/color] His mind went back to the mystery-kid. [color=f7976a]"And make sure the neighbor gives a solid description of the boy. Ask around the block some more about him, when you have the time."[/color]

Yuuma handed the tablet back, and moved to the living room, eyes on the lookout for something in specific -- which he found quickly enough. Briskly walking across the room, he reached for a framed photo, and brought it into the light. It depicted a happy-looking family; A mother, a father, and a son. 

His eyes narrowed as he looked back towards the bones, bloody hand prints on the floor leading to it. [color=f7976a]"Do everything you can to identify our mess over there, as soon as possible,"[/color] he said to the other investigators. [color=f7976a]"Check the wounds on the couple for any traces of ghoul, see if you can match it with anything on record."[/color]

Yuuma then heard Luca call him, so he quickly made his way to his partner. He entered the washroom, and frowned a moment later, when everything had registered. Things were beginning to click together.

[color=f7976a]"This might be too easy,"[/color] he said, handing the picture to Luca. [color=f7976a]"A young-adult male apparently lived here, but he's completely unregistered. Sounds like this kid is possibly a ghoul. I'm thinking that he lost it, maybe from hunger. Doesn't explain the fact that there are three bodies though. Once we get all the results back, we'll be able to tell exactly what happened here, and have plenty of leads to help us decide where we want to go from there."[/color]

He nodded towards the bloody pile of clothes. [color=f7976a]"Must belong to him. I'll ask to have it fully analyzed -- most of the blood probably isn't his, so we might not get much, but we can't pass up the chance to get him on record."[/color]

He stepped back out into the hallway, ordering the bureau investigators to thoroughly sweep the washroom. 

Addressing his partner again, he took another quick look around. [color=f7976a]"I believe we're done here, Luca. Just need to wait it out 'til tomorrow, when the results come in."[/color]

On his way out of the home, he passed by the young bureau investigator, and realized he had been fairly rude to him. He wasn't feeling very apologetic about that -- he had simply been doing his job. But... he could give the guy a break.

Yuuma sighed, before speaking up. [color=f7976a]"What's your name?"[/color] he asked the boy.

The kid looked like a deer caught in headlights. After making a sound that was not unlike a croak, he found his voice. [color=c4df9b]"R-rank 3 Investigator Yamamoto Ryo, sir!"[/color] 

[color=f7976a]"Good work today, Yamamoto-kun,"[/color] Yuuma said, giving him a tap on the shoulder.

With that, he stepped back outside, and turned to wait for Luca.
