The Adventures of Cologne and the Devil of Berlin

Chapter 5 Kidnapping

Cologne wanted to protest but he immediately realized that right now he was seeing as many crowds of people as in an office in general.

What is this? Cologne screamed in his heart. The young man was afraid that Berlin had actually sent himself into the office by now.

"Oh, Cologne you came so fast. Did you just use Superman's flying services? Hahaha… my friend, I know you must have really missed your job," said someone who suddenly appeared beside the young man.

Cologne almost had a heart attack. When he realized that he had actually been sent to his office by Berlin. The young man immediately banged his own head on the floor.

"Good grief Cologne, are you all right?" asked Eden who was a Cologne senior in his office as well as the person who had called him earlier.

Eden was not the only one who was surprised and surprised by Cologne's violent actions that hurt himself because on average everyone who was not far from there looked at Cologne with a look that looked scared. They thought that the young man had just gone into a trance.

What do you think after this, I have to summon a psychic here? Eden asked in his heart.

"So are you feeling any better?" asked Eden to confirm Cologne's condition.

"Yes," replied Cologne trying to be as calm as possible after experiencing the embarrassing incident earlier.

Eden smiled faintly. "Ah, you better not think too much about that earlier. Hm… you can drink your coffee first before we talk further," Eden said warmly.

"Thank you," replied Cologne who was again still trying to maintain his image.

Eden actually knows very well what kind of shame Cologne feels. He actually really wanted to laugh but tried to maintain his etiquette to respect the young man's feelings. Even though the incident had passed, Eden could still see the remnants of Cologne's nervousness clearly visible, as the young man held his coffee cup with trembling hands. The young man's words did look calm but his body language gestures couldn't lie at all.

"Ugh, you don't have to be so nervous, you can feel a little calmer here," Eden said trying to calm Cologne down.

"No-no I'm not nervous at all," lied Cologne, blushing with embarrassment. Damn why do I look so embarrassing like this, after a long time not coming to the office, he complained in his heart.

Eden smiled faintly. He secretly felt a little relieved to see Cologne's response like that. It had been a long time since he had seen such an embarrassed expression from Cologne. The last time he remembered, Cologne had always been gloomy since the death of his best friend and work partner.

"Hahaha… yes you seem fine. Don't be nervous like that," Eden joked casually. Eden then reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a piece of paper from there. Which he immediately handed over to Cologne.

Cologne who saw the piece of paper was handed to him. Immediately take the paper and read its contents. And it didn't take him long to digest the information contained in the paper.

"You want me to investigate a child abduction case?" asked the young man with a lazy look on his face.

Eden smiled wryly. "Hmm… yeah I think it's a good case for you. Besides, you haven't worked in a long time. So, I think, there is nothing wrong with starting your work with this kind of case," Eden said trying to explain to Cologne.

Cologne chuckled again in annoyance. In his heart he never stopped cursing Berlin for sending him to the office after he had thought about resigning from his job.

"So do you want to accept the task this time?" asked Eden trying to make sure.

Cologne pointed at his own face and gave a disapproving look that was directed at the 30 year old man in front of him right now. "Look at my face! Do I look willing to do this job?"

Eden immediately felt disappointed when he heard his question was not answered correctly by Cologne. "So you turned it down?"

Cologne snorted then replied like this, "Tch. Come all the way here, why refuse the first task you have given me? Even if I don't like it, I'll keep working on it. You just don't have to expect too much from me. If I fail in this task, please just recommend me to get out of this office immediately," he said without any guilt.

Eden sighed. Then patted the shoulder of the famous junior who excelled. "I've always believed in you. And in fact, I would never let you just walk out of your job."

"You are indeed my senior but not my superior. So you have no right in the matter of my termination," Cologne sneered.

Berlin, who was quietly watching from a distance at Cologne's pessimistic nature, was really irritated by it. The demon wanted to hit the blonde haired youth's head very hard.

In the car

"You must do your job well," Berlin rebuked in his smoke.

"What do you care about that," said Cologne nonchalantly.

If only Berlin wasn't tied to someone. Maybe he had made the car that was being driven by this blond haired boy crash into a big truck in front of him

"Just do what I say," Berlin replied lazily. The demon was determined to make Cologne successfully complete the task.

***

Cologne is currently meeting with the mother of the kidnap victim to ask for more information about the victim.

"Excuse me, do you know where your child was last seen?" asked Cologne very carefully.

The woman shook her head weakly. "No, I don't know where he is. Because before he was not near me. Looks like he went out to play without my permission," the woman said in a weak voice. It was clear that the woman looked very miserable. His eye bags were swollen and his voice was weak and hoarse. He looked like he couldn't cry anymore.

"I see. Alright sorry for bothering you. I hope you can be a little more patient because I will do my best in this case." Cologne then said goodbye and left the woman.

After leaving the woman. And walked to his car. The young man found Berlin bothering him again in the form of smoke.

"Heh, don't you think that child could be sold?" Berlin tease.

Cologne sighed and waved his hand. As if trying to remove the smoke from him. "How do I know about that? You better shut up!" said Cologne irritably.

***

Back to office

"What about the results?" asked Eden hopefully.

Cologne snorted and immediately threw himself down onto the office sofa.

"Nothing," he answered simply.

Eden frowned. What she did not hear you correctly? The previous Cologne had always been successful in handling some difficult cases. It suddenly changed drastically like this. It doesn't look like it's working at all.
