    Summary

    Working at Scotland Yard has always been a dream for Lucy Baker, a dream that finally comes true. Yet the colourful image which she's had in her head for all the time is quickly destroyed when she meets her boss, Inspector Layton - highly intelligent, a prodigy of his generation, amazed by murder and downright rude and a nightmare to be around for more than five minutes.
    But Lucy has never been one to give up easily. Slowly but surely she removes the several layers that surround Inspector Layton - and reveals a lot more than just the fact that he can be rather nice and pleasant to be around. The clock starts ticking faster because a murderer is striking terror into the hearts of London's people. The murderer is playing a game, a dangerous game. And Lucy realises too late that she's just another token instead of a player...

    Work Summary:

    He tore at his red hair. “You don’t get it, Baker,” he spat. “I am NOT going to die! Come on, you just need to distract that nurse and I’ll be on my merry way and we can-”
    “You know something.”
    “What?” He looked momentarily confused to have been interrupted in his monologue. Then, he grinned. “Baker, I don’t have time for this. I need-”
    “No.” Lucy shook her head. She felt something creep up within her. After a moment, she realized the feeling…. fear. She gulped. “You know something I ain’t. Somethin’ about this murder.”
    He rose an eyebrow, crossing his arms as well. “Is that so, Baker? I know a lot of-”
    “You know what I’m talking about! Your talk with Hilda yesterday. You saying you KNOW you’ll be fine. We were poisoned! Apparently with something that’s deadly! Or were we?”
