Mr. Policeman... handcuff me!
Mamie
Mamie looked at the front of the police station, thinking she would like to check reports for the elderly woman who had been taken to a hospital..
But knew it wasn't likely they would speak to her unless directly involved.
Trace
Is there something I can help you with?
Mamie
Well, yes. I hope so. Around 9 a.m. an elderly woman was struck by a taxi. I know it's not policy to give out info... but I can't get her frail body and terrified look out of my head.
Trace
I see. Were you driving?
Mamie
No, I was a passenger. The driver was hurrying because I asked him to and..
Trace
And you feel guilty. It's normal, it's also not likely he could have done anything about it even if he weren't going faster.
Mamie
Mamie's eyes filled with tears. Well yes, but had I not been rushing...
Trace
Tell you what, I'll see what I can find out, and then I'll see if she wants to speak to you. Can you leave your number?
Mamie
Oh, yes it's
... she quickly scrawled the number on to the pad.
Mamie
Call anytime. Mamie smiled gently, then blushed, thinking about how that sounded.
Trace
Trace's eyes twinkled with wicked promise. Anytime?
Mamie
Mamie blinked. Was this cute officer flirting with her? *(O.O)* Aieee, why did Seoul always have the most handsome law professionals.
Trace
I WILL call you later. He winked.
Mamie
Mamie fumbled with her backpack, and nearly stepped on the foot of an officer behind her.
Joel
Catches Mamie. He's just a huge flirt, kid. Don't take it too seriously, he won't.
Mamie
Looks at Trace wistfully. Yeah. I can already tell that about him. I've dated enough emotionally unavailable duds not to know. Mamie sighed, wishing she weren't so streetwise from growing up first in the fishing village, then in a mansion as her mother married into wealth.
Trace
Trace smiled across the room and waved as she departed.
Mamie
Mamie's heart quickened, thudding in her chest. Of course she was attracted... he was cannon fodder. The kind of guy who would date and ghost you due to 'work.'
Mamie
*Sigh.* Why was it so hard to meet 'The One.'
Mamie made her way home, through the streets of Seoul, walking endlessly thinking about the days. Her feet taking a path even she was unaware of.

Hey! Mamie!
Mamie
Snapping from her reverie, she pasted a bright smile on her face.. I changed my mind about that gimbap... why don't I treat you.
Sexy Gamer Friend
Fist pumps, yes... finally a free meal from you instead of me paying! He grabbed, flipping an errant hair out of his eyes.
Mamie
Stop playing with your hair, that girl over there is staring.
Sexy Gamer Friend
Cha! Why do you do me dirty like that? I got excited!
Mamie
Sticks out tongue. Come on, let's check out the street vendor just down the street from the cafe. Then maybe we can go back in for a few minutes to work through that ambush we faced in today's level.
Sexy Gamer Friend
Gah.. I should have known you were luring me with food to your silly addiction.
