Waves and waves of reporters later, Nara's name had resonated throughout Jayton City overnight. At the same time, inside the interrogation room of the Easte District Police Department in Jayton City, Castiel sat back in his chair with his legs up, bored, staring at Nara across from him and suddenly feeling a bit of regret. "Hey! How long are you planning on keeping me here?" "I'm just doing my job. You're a suspect in the train station bombing, so we've got to get to the bottom of it!" Nara glanced at Castiel, whose face was filled with helplessness. A small, satisfied smile crept across her pretty face. "Name?" she asked coldly, after casting a brief glance at Castiel. "Aren't you holding my ID? Can't you read it yourself?" Nara slapped the table and jumped to her feet, her face full of anger. She aimed the desk lamp at Castiel's face and threatened, "If you don't cooperate with me, you can be detained for three to seven days. Your call!" Castiel was exasperated. She was obviously just getting back at him. "This was found in his bag!" Just then, a male officer walked in, holding Castiel's backpack. Clatter! The officer dumped everything out on the table. A big pile of magazines appeared in front of Nara. "What are these?" Looking puzzled, Nara grabbed one of the old, yellowed magazines. When she saw the cover of a naked woman, her face instantly turned bright red. "You creep! You actually carry this stuff around?" Quickly putting the magazine down, Nara glared at Castiel and signaled the officer to gather the worn magazines. "Hey, that's my collection! Be careful with them," Castiel protested as he watched the officer take away his stash, those precious photo albums he had painstakingly gathered over the years. "Hmph! You look decent, yet you're up to no good. Now I suspect you of spreading obscene material. The evidence is right here, so what must you say for yourself?" "Come on! Just because you say so doesn't make it true. Can't a guy have his own hobbies?" Castiel retorted to Nara's accusation. "Hmph! This isn't over. Tell me, what do you do? Why are you in Jayton City?" Annoyed, Nara sat back down, grabbed her pen, and jotted down notes. "I'll say it again, I'm here to treat someone! As for what I do... I guess you could call me a doctor," Castiel replied, scratching the back of his head and bestowing himself the honorable title of doctor. "A doctor? Do you have a medical license?" Nara's suspicion was evident as she glanced at Castiel. Even though she'd seen him deliver a baby at the station, Nara just couldn't believe he was only a doctor. "A medical license?" Castiel muttered, glancing at Nara's cold expression, a sly smile forming at the corner of his mouth. "Hasn't your period been late for over a week? And haven't you been feeling moody, a little down, maybe gained some weight, and going to the bathroom more often?" Nara was taken aback as Castiel's large hand suddenly pressed against her wrist. "You jerk! Get your nasty hand off me!" Her face turned bright red as she yanked her hand back, shooting Castiel a death glare. But inside, she was a little shaken. She realized her cycle was indeed delayed. With the increasing workload at the police department, her stress levels had risen, affecting her mood. As for the frequent bathroom visits, she hadn't noticed until now. The woman mused, "Maybe this guy really is just a doctor?" As this thought crossed her mind, Nara's gaze on Castiel became one of doubt. "Relax, it's nothing serious. Just take a few days off and don't get mad so easily, or you'll get wrinkles!" "Shut up!" Nara slammed her hand on the table and jumped up, her ears turning red as she glared daggers at Castiel. "Whoa, easy! Don't get rough, or I'll report you for police brutality." "Police brutality? Hah! I'll show you what that really looks like!" She swung her hand to slap him, but as soon as her arm went up, Castiel grabbed it tightly. "Let go!" "No!" "Release me right now." Suddenly, the interrogation room door burst open, and a chubby middle-aged cop walked in with his team. "Ahem! What's going on here?" They stopped at the door, staring at the weird scene before them, all looking confused. "Chief Lapwood? What are you doing here?" Nara quickly pulled her hand away from Castiel and hurried over, her face still red. Behind the chief, the male officers, upon noticing the blush on Nara's face, couldn't help but gape. They glanced at Castiel, who looked chill, and gave him a secret thumbs-up. Damn! He actually managed to tease the department's famous ice queen. It was not something just anyone could pull off!
