[M] Truth (1/1)

(two weeks later)They never heard anything about what had happened with the Lights in the last attack and Taehee was convinced that the werewolves that ran from the Lights hadn’t been out to attack M.Pire. That was beginning to put things into a new perspective.Taehee had also spoken with Lumin about what had been happening at the department. He had found out that Lumin’s partner, Kan, was transferring to a different department that was closer to his boyfriend’s job. It was also because he was being questioned by the authorities about what had happened with Lumin and the ‘flashlight.’ They had finally dropped the issue, but he still didn’t want to stay. Taehee had been grateful for his help, but understood why he had left. That problem was that Lumin was alone in the department now.Lumin called JJ one day. "Hey, may I come speak with you guys? I have a lead."JJ frowned, sighing. "Of course. Come on over. Seunghyun, you don’t have to ask. I want you here any time. You’re one of us."Lumin was quiet for a moment, then answered him.

"I think it’s because they finally have someone they can blame for the things that happen…and they don’t have to admit that there are creatures out there that are killing people. It gives them a reason to ignore the crime. It’s making our jobs harder."Lumin shook his head. "I’m honestly getting sick of it. I don’t blame Kan for leaving, after the hounding he got for the incident with your father’s killer." He smiled at Taehee when he said the last part.Taehee smiled back at him, catching the unspoken apology. "We just need to keep an eye on the department and make sure that we’re careful with our jobs. Thank you for this information, Lumin. I appreciate it."Lumin nodded at him quietly. JJ smiled at Lumin. "Are you hungry? We haven’t eaten yet. You can stay."Lumin stared at JJ for a moment, contemplating something. "I’d like
