Chapter 6: Keysha's Recount

"That night we four girls decided to take a week long holiday from working at Witch Whisper. That night would also be our first day of vacation. We four got off work around 3 in the morning. When we all entered our house that night suddenly we all fainted."

"May I interrupt your story for a bit Miss? When you said that you all suddenly fainted are there any some kind of feeling before the faint."

"What do you mean by that sir?"

"Like maybe you feel pain on any part of your body, dizziness or did you guys yawn?"

One of the three girls raise her hand shyly. Curly orange hair, blue eyes and light brown skin. I remembered her profile. Alaia, a cheerful, kind and sometimes cheeky.

"U-umm I-I think I feel kind of a little bit of pain on my soles before I fainted."

"I don't feel pain on my soles but both my leg felt a little bit numb."

The girl who just speak is Kalia. A sporty girl who always has a ponytail, tanned skin, a supple muscle and black eyes. A girl full of passion and always giving her best.

"M-my l-legs jj-just a little t-tingly."

The stuttering girl is Lita. She is a bit meek but diligent, hardworking and quite a smart girl. She has a shoulder length dark green hair, fair white skin and light brown eyes.

"Hmmm. Legs huh. Do any of you girls see some sort of flashing light?"

Keysha raise her hand.

"I do and when we entered the house, I am at the very front of the group."

"Ohhh and what do you felt at that time?"

"A hot searing pain on both of my legs"

"Hmmm. Sorry for the tangent. You can continue the story Keysha."

"Yes. When we woke up, we were all n-naked while our hands and legs were t-tied up with some really strong rope."

Keysha eyes started to glitter.

"It's okay take your time."

Maria slowly rub Keysha's back. The sound of sobbing and sniffing could be heard from the girls. I slowly sip my hot coffee. I will just wait for them. I also need some time to think about the information I got earlier from the girls. From all the circumstantial evidence and eyewitnesses, there must be an Alchemist. An illegal one. A demoted Politician from the Central and an illegal Alchemist huh. A strange but not so strange combination. Should I call the Executioner? No those guys are more troublesome than a demoted Politician. Sigh~. Look like I have to deal with the Alchemist myself.
