Had to be done

Roman sat on the bed, looking around at the things that were in the room. His eyes fell on the sweater lying on the back of the chair, which Julie often liked to wear. It was lilac in colour. Hours had passed, and there was no news of Julie or her friend Melanie. 

When both Roman and Simon had gone to visit the counselor's office, Mr. Evans was not there. His room was locked, and when they checked with Dante, she told them that she hadn't heard anything about him going anywhere. 

Roman's mind was racing, and he wanted to know where she was, to make sure that she wasn't in any trouble. There was no way that Julie had stepped out of Veteris, and also the way her scent disappeared from below the bridge, it made him suspicious. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard a knock on the door. 

"I heard you have been looking for me," said Mr. Evans with a look of question in his eyes. 

Roman stood up from the bed, asking, "Winters is missing."
