I'm afraid not.
It seems we've a new investigation on our hands.

[ulaulakahuna]

primary suspects?

[latiosite]

I should think that I needn't even have to say.
I suspect Weavile is involved, it seems Sableye brings the more mischievous parts of her out in full-swing.
Though Mismagius might be a bit troublesome at times, I do not imagine it is her. Lucario and Raikou are unlikely.
If Salamence was capable of opening the refrigerator I'd be more impressed than anything.

[ulaulakahuna]

yeah any one of mine could've been in on it that's not really saying something.
out of ten possible not many of 'em would actually drink the milk, though. can't pin it on the Meowth this time.

[latiosite]

That is what makes it strange.
I cannot see Weavile or Sableye drinking it.
This time? Has this happened to you before?

[ulaulakahuna]

doesn't mean they didn't want in on the mischief anyway.
listen when you've got half a dozen Meowth everything gets pinned on 'em sooner or later

[latiosite]

Oh, certainly. I do not put it past them.
That's rather cute.
Still, perhaps it would be wise of us to do a little sleuthing? I will replace it when I've returned and we can pretend to leave...

[ulaulakahuna]

as much as I'd love to stakeout our own house,
you really don't think half of them will figure or smell us out?

[latiosite]

I didn't know you were so rusty.
It's fine, I will do it on my own.

[ulaulakahuna]

you should know by now how challenging me ends up

[latiosite]

I'm not sure what you mean, Nanu.
Please do not worry! I have this covered. :)

[ulaulakahuna]

don't you dare set a sting like this up without me

[latiosite]

Oh, dear.
It seems like I'm already beginning and you're nowhere to be found!

[ulaulakahuna]

you already got the decoy milk?
which side of the house are you on?

[latiosite]

Figure it out yourself, Officer.

[ulaulakahuna]

[Nanu is absolutely creepin around the house perimeter to try and sneak up on Anabel]

[latiosite]

[ Please, like she doesn't know what that means. She's surprisingly sneaky and skulking, able to keep herself silent and hidden even from her pokemon.

If he wants to sneak up on her, he'll have to try harder. And be prepared to be hit if he actually succeeds more fully. ]

[ulaulakahuna]

[He just wants to be part of this stupid plan too!! He'd need way more planning time to actually get the jump on Anabel. Maximum creep factor. A map of the area. Darker clothes. Recon. He's trained her too well.]

[This time he just stalks up behind her and gives a deadpan]

Boo.

[latiosite]

[ He didn't a moment ago! On the bright side, he really is interested now even if it was because she challenged him. Anabel lets out a soft laugh, trying not to be too loud when she peers over her shoulder. ]

Oh my, look who has joined me.

[ulaulakahuna]

[Well it's her fault for making it sound fun. It's also exactly the kind of ridiculous Nanu would rather get into than do anything productive.]

Had this place under surveillance for a while, huh?

[latiosite]

[ It was fun before it sounded that way and what productivity do either of them have? Finding a job on and off for money? That's about it. She takes a careful step back so she's without sound. ]

You should know that the bait is rarely taken immediately, though if my inkling is correct it will be sooner than expected. [ A pause and another one of those soft, ringing laughs. ] How considerate of you to let me do all the work.

[ulaulakahuna]

Well, you are the Chief. Best leave it to the professionals. [As though she could trust him to do it on his own time...]

[hey wait a minute] If you thought I was the one finishing the milk, does that mean you were waiting to catch me in the act?

[latiosite]

Hm, I wonder what that says about you, then, Officer?

[ She'd like to think he's more motivated for many things than he might seem to be. She knows it's mostly an act on his part. ]

Unfortunately, some mysteries will need a greater investigation to find the answers...

[ How coy. ]

[ulaulakahuna]

I'm outranked; you tell me.

[He's not wrong... Though he certainly enjoys not doing anything over doing something. Except when it interests him. And that's an entire lottery.]

Huh. I think going to sweep my room for bugs later.

[latiosite]

I think you've been slacking off long enough.

[ But she's playful about it. If the past few months have taught her anything, it's that when it comes down to what is most important, he's active. What he's done for her -- was doing for her back home -- is more than some are capable of over years. ]

And what would I do with anything I might find through that? I trust you, anyway.
