"Guess what?" Yongguk asked. "What?" I replied with a sigh. I hated the guessing game, and Yongguk knew it well. Yongguk just smirked, and sat down on the edge of my hospital bed. He leaned over me, reaching for one of my twix bars, and tore it open with his teeth like an animal. "I'm the investigator working on your case." "My case?" I asked. "The hit and run," he answered. "We gathered all cameras within a 3 block radius and managed to get the license plate of the car." "Wait...but you're in the special task department..." I said, trailing off. The special tasks force didn't investigate hit and runs. Normally, they did the strange cases, and were often the last hope for dead end cases. "Don't you guys do the weird, unsolvable cases?" "It gets weird, trust me," Yongguk assured. He took a big chomp out of the candy bar, and then offered me some. I shook my head, already haven eaten several of my own. "So did you find it? The car?" I asked. I was going to sue the hell out of that driver if I got the chance. "No, we were not able to find the car," he answered. "We ran it through the system, and it was weird. The car isn't registered and that plate doesn't even exist. That's why I've been assigned to the case." "How can that be?" Is it even possible for a car to just be out of a streets with no papers? "Was it an illegal rebuilt chop shop car?" "We're still investigating," he said. "It is...rather strange. However, we found record of the car in our system, getting two parking tickets in the west end the week before the accident. We had thought the patrolman had gotten the plate down wrong when we couldn't locate it on our system, but now it seems like that was not the case." I couldn't help but wonder what exactly was going on. "Where was it?" "Outside of a family owned Chinese restaurant." Yongguk paused, and blinked fast. For a split second, I could have sworn he was hiding something from me. I knew Yongguk's facial expressions better than I knew my own, but then, the moment was gone, and he went on. "We're in the process of talking to everyone in that region to see what we can dig up on that car."
