Looking For Murder
I've finally found you, Sora

A few months passed.

In his study at the Fujitsu group's office, Geo sat in his chair while playing a ballpoint in hand. The laptop screen that lights up in front of him displays a digital invitation that shows prewedding photos of Keiko and Takagi. Geo has yet to decide whether or not he will meet his ex-wife's wedding invitation. Exhaling heavily then he threw his gaze out the window. His eyes stared blankly at the expanse of tall buildings in Osaka. His mind glared far through space and time.

Losing out over the departure of his sister, Geo and the family were once at a low point. His mother fell ill and was hospitalized for some time. When the judge ruled that the perpetrators were mentally ill and could not be subject to criminal punishment, they could not do much about the court's verdict against Adriana's killer. The family's screams at the judge's unjust verdict seemed to be answered by God. Geo does not need to dirty both hands to eliminate the life of his sister's killer. The perpetrator of the serial killer has got his karma. The news of Yusa's death they received, was like an oasis in the Lafayette family. Now their family just left to mengikhlaskan departure and try to step forward to continue life.

The phone on the Geo desk rang. The phone screen lit up, with a profile photo of the middle-aged woman with a fluffy smile. Sliding the green button, Geo raised the voice call.

"Yes Mother.."

"When are you coming home to Cologne, son ?" Ask his mother without saying anything.

"No idea, Mom. I can't be sure, because a lot of my work isn't done yet."

" If you keep busy when do you have time to find a woman who can provide a successor to the family. "

"Mother please understand me.."

" Mom doesn't want to know. If until next month you don't bring a future wife, I'll still marry you to Tiffany, with or without your consent."

"But Ma'am..."

" I don't want to hear your excuses anymore. See you next month. " The call was also interrupted. Geo put his phone rough on the table. With the fingers of his left hand he massaged his temple.

Her mother has been urging her to get married lately. And give a grandchild to him. Finding a woman to make a wife is not easy. Since the divorce with Keiko, the marriage has not been in her life plan for the next few years. Geo reached into the inner suit pocket. A hairpin, three-colored pearl-shaped was within his grasp.

Her memory goes back to the figure of the blue-eyed blonde woman who once spent a hot night with her.

It has been several months since the incident that night, Geo has not found the woman who is suspected to be named Rosanne. He disappeared when Geo opened his eyes the next day. All that was left was the woman's hairpin tucked between the wrinkles of the bed cover.

Geo has been trying to find Rosanne by going around all night spots in Osaka almost every night. To date, he has not discovered his existence. Since that night, Geo has thought about it often.

"Wo bist du gerade, Rosanne?" (Where are you now, Rosanne?)

Since Sora disappeared with no news, Kaoru feels like something is missing from her life. Don't ask if he's not looking for that woman? Of course he was looking for Sora's whereabouts. The last information he got was seen at Kansai International Airport a few months ago by boarding a Boeing 777 airline Japan Air Line, a destination of California.

Kaoru's hard work wasn't in vain. His name was included in the list of new students at Stanford University School of Law. While waiting for the lecture period to begin, Kaoru did not forget her main purpose of being in California. So here it is now. In an amusement park that became one of the favorite tourist destinations of people when to California, namely Disneyland. Kaoru hopes that among the thousands of visitors to the amusement park, there is Sora one of them.

"So you can't go to my wedding, Lieutenant?" A phone call from Takagi, pausing Kaoru's search today.

" I'm sorry, Detective. In a week, the class will begin soon. I can't go back to Japan in six months."

"Dearly enough. Though I really expect your presence on my happy day."

"Even if I'm not present, my prayers always accompany your happiness, Detective."

"alright. Diligent learning, to quickly return to the homeland. "

"Ready, Detective."

"May you meet your soul mate there and catch up with me soon."

"Amen. Thank you for that, Detective."

Kaoru kept the phone in her jacket pocket, as soon as the phone call ended. He sighed as he glanced around the crowded amusement park. His gaze stopped on the figure of a woman who was pushing a red stroller.

"Sora ...."

A few seconds Kaoru was still riveted. He could not believe what he was seeing. After feeling confident in his vision, without a second thought Kaoru ran towards the Sora-like woman. Her steps came to a halt, as the woman who had finished fixing the baby blanket fluttered looking straight at her.

Kaoru walked step by step. His heart exploded with happiness. He really did not expect, the universe had led him to meet his lover in an unexpected way. The distance between them is not far. Sora was 30 cm in front of him. Both equally riveted. Without hesitation, Kaoru tightly hugged Sora's body. His face was drowning in the recess of the neck of the woman he so missed.

"Sora, I miss you. Really miss you. "

Sora was moved to hear the longing word Kaoru said to him. He did not expect, the man who had given him a princess was willing to travel thousands of miles, only to find it. His hands moved in a circular direction on Kaoru's sturdy body. Replying to the warm embrace of the man who had unknowingly filled the recesses of his heart.
