“Supervision?”

My father knit his eyebrows Mother and I also both stiffened our expressions

The Chief spoke gently as he gave us a cool look

“Gray Starling is a dangerous cri or hear so un-conveniently related to him, there’s a possibility he may try and keep her silent”

“What do you mean?”

Mother raised her voice with a hint of panic The Chief continued in an attempt to calm her

“It’s siht now, the possibility will becoher Honestly, the risks are quite low, but this is to protect your precious daughter”

–or so he said

Deep inside, I did not trust the Chief’s words Most likely it wasn’t to ensure my safety There had to be another reason

However, see to believe his words, my mother nodded

“Do not worry”

The Chief raised his hand in a sign of relief “Once we assure that it is safe, ill contact you Until then, she will stay here at prepared lodgings”

“If so, then we need to send someone to wait on her hand and foot”

“No, actually that is—“

“Someone to wait on her hand and foot”

Her eyes were surely narrowed

“Understood”

The Chief gave in Mother, looking with satisfaction at hiaze toward me and beamed at me whole heartedly

“You need an escort, don’t you think?”

“Um, Mother?”

I smiled back “If possible, could you call Claire? This place is full of people I don’t know, so I feel a bit uneasy”

“But she is—“

“I just want someone I can trust to be by my side Please”

I made sure to smile as sweetly as possible

The owner of this body was a pretty boy If I didn’t ood would that be?

“Yes, I understand”

This tiave in

Yes!

For whatever reason, I wanted to see Claire

Also, what I said toin a place like this with amore than a joke

The lodgings prepared forwhere the police officers slept

It ithin the premises of the Office and cut off from the rest of the world, so there was no doubt that it was safe

Afterhouse by Matilda, finding myself in a plain room

It was small

One bed, a desk and chair, a closet, a small

Definitely not luxurious I sighed

“I need to talk to you a bit”

As she said this, Matilda closed the door behind her

Goosebumps

I looked at her with obvious caution

“What is it? Are you going to continue with the questioning?”

“Well…”

Of course

I dropped my shoulders

“Don’t ”

“What?”

“What you saw and heard in that underground Don’t you think there ht be a hint to where Gray could have escaped to?”

“I really can’t remember well”

My chest tightened with the feeling of being attacked What is this? I’m so anxious

“I guess just telling you to reo to counseling You can remember from there, little by little”

“Okay”

While stiffening my face, Matilda snickered

“I understand that you’re being vigilant, but we’re on your side Don’t forget that”

I simply nodded back
