“Where is Zhian?” I asked. It's already 11 in the morning, I need to eat my lunch, but I chose to meet them.
Harvey was sitting in front of me, while Sammy was sitting at the couch, staring blankly at the ground.
“I don't know, we didn't see him yesterday, and also when we are walking around,” Harvey stated. He shrugged his shoulder.
“Okay, so our meeting is a bit rushed because my mother already knew about our plans for gathering some information, my head is aching because I can't find any lead to the person behind these crimes, or killings,” I said while massaging my temple.
“She wants to stop me from doing this, I don't know why, and she looked mad when she talked to me last night,” I added.
“I already got the statements of the suspects from the different crimes, and their statements were most likely to be the same.” His focus was on my mouth.
“I read their statements multiple times, and they were saying the same words, someone ordered them to it for the exchanged of money, and the life of their family.” Harvey nodded.
I glanced at Sammy, she's still the same, I don't know if she heard me, or not. I sighed.
“Furthermore, I think we don't have enough time to gather and explore more about the details, and evidence, I assumed that the only evidence was the camera.” I pointed out the camera in the picture.
“Based on the direction of the camera, the lens of the camera was pointed at the victim, and it seems like she used it before all the things happened,” I explained.
“I assumed that Harvey was already said it, I don't know the exact date, but I'm pretty sure about it, let's go to a different house, first we will talk to Amethyst's adoptive parent, and then we are going to Miss Morgan, which is Sammy's adoptive mother,” I suggested.
I glanced at my wristwatch, “Let's take our lunch, and we're going to start, okay?” Harvey nodded.
They stood up, and he holds Sammy's hand while walking away from my office. I rolled my eyes because of them.
Really? They are just showing me that I don't have any partner, who's going to hold my hand? I throw my ballpen because of irritation.
I stood up with a blank stare and went out of my office. I locked the door and decided to go to the cafeteria.
When I arrived at the cafeteria, the line was too long, and it looks like the line will end tomorrow.
However, I have some choices, so I walked to the back of the cafeteria, and went inside it. The chef greeted me, and I nodded to them.
I decided to get some plates, and a cup to serve my food and drinks. There's a different kind of viands at the table.
There's a beef steak, chicken rolls, lemon rosemary salmon, steamed hotdogs, fried chicken, and fried bacon.
I heard my stomach growling. I chose the beefsteak, chicken rolls, and fried bacon. Unfortunately, I'm not satisfied when I don't have some rice.
It's much satisfying if you eat some different viands with rice. I mouthed the word, “Thank you!” and walked away from the cafeteria.
I decided to eat at my office, so I can find some peace and silence. When I reached my office, I unlocked the door and went inside it.
I walked towards my desk and put down the plate, and a cup.
Someone knocked on my door, and I shouted the word, “Come in!” and the door suddenly opened.
I gasped, it's Zhian, he's wearing the black mask, and the white cap. I scanned his whole body.
“Good afternoon!” he greeted. He walked towards the couch, and he sat down. I shrugged my shoulder and began to eat.
I nodded to him, and continue eating. “I heard after your lunch, you're going somewhere, can I go with you? I want to accompany you,” he muttered.
“Yes, sure! It's a good idea to have a lot of companions when it comes to going somewhere, did you eat already?” I asked. He nodded.
“Okay, just wait, and let me finish my food,” I said with a genuine smile.
After a few minutes of eating my lunch, I have already done with it, until Harvey went back. I arched my eyebrow, “Where is Sammy?” I questioned.
He took a deep breath, “She's tired, and she wants some rest, she said that she wants to go home, and lay her body on her bed,” he answered.
“Huh? Okay, if that's what she wants, so shall we? Zhian will be going with us, and I'm sure we're going to make it.” Harvey looked at Zhian with a death glare.
Seriously? The tension between them is not broken? Huh? I mean, they are still not friends with each other.
I stood up, called someone who can get my used plate, and my used cup. I walked to the door and waited for them to come out.
When they had already went out, I closed the door, Harvey insisted on his car, so I agree with it.
Hence, I'm not going to drive for them just to reach our destination, so it's quite good to his suggestion.
We reached the parking lot, and we waited for Harvey to start the engine of his car.
The car was already in front of us, he opened the door for me, and he let Zhian to entered his car on its own.
When the things were already set up, he started to drive, and I told him to go to the Riego's residence to ask some few questions.
He agreed with it, while Zhian was not speaking, even one word. I glanced at Zhian through the rearview mirror of the car.
He's looking at the outside and remained silent. I wonder what's behind that mask, or it's just his style.
Does he hide from something? I don't know the answer. My curiosity is killing me, but I'm afraid to ask him.
It seems like he's going to yell to someone if that person asked him. Maybe, I will ask him someday.
“Zhian,” I whispered. My heart began to pound when he answered me, “Hmm?” He looked at the mirror and removed his cap.
His dark hair appeared, and it made him look cool and fresh. I secretly laughed at my thoughts.
“Nothing, you're not even talking since we left the school, I assumed that you already swallowed your tongue,” I said with a jokingly tone.
He's just looking at the mirror. At the moment, I felt embarrassed when he doesn't respond. I awkwardly scratched my head.
I heard Harvey was giggling. I glared at him, and he focused on the road. Before I forgot, I already called my closest teacher to tell her that I have something important to do, and don't tell to my mother.
After half an hour, we are at the front of Riego's residence. It looks like there's no one in here.
I gasped, and my eyes widened.
