Letting go of what matters

When the bell to the Winter's residence rang, Julie walked to the door while slightly opening the door, not knowing if Roman was back or if it was some neighbour who had come to visit her uncle and aunt. 

She noticed three tall men wearing black suits, and they looked as if they were officers. For a moment, her blood ran cold at the thought that someone had informed about what happened. But then she heard the man at the front speak, 

"Is this Winter's residence?" 

Julie nodded her head, "Is there someone you are looking for?" 

The man at the front had peppered black and white hair, his physique lean and his cheeks hollower than his other companions. He replied, "I was here on Mr. Oscar's words. Heard there was someone that needed to be picked up." 

"That would be by my word," came Donovan's words from behind Julie, and she turned around before stepping away from the door.
