Fate Uncertain

Bryan and Hailey walked side by side along the footpath as they looked around for any suspicious activities. Since it was already past midnight, there weren't any steam cars or carriages around.

It hadn't snowed for the past few days, hence, the streets were clear. However, the bitter cold still remained. And it would only get worse. January was the time when it was the coldest and the following month would be no less.

As Bryan and Hailey were walking, there was an awkward silence between them. It couldn't be blamed on either party though.

Since the both of them barely had any interactions with each other. Hailey almost always stayed at the reception desk. Whereas Bryan spent most of his time in the underground HQ.

Since both of them had to patrol at least half of the city for the rest of the night, Bryan decided to make the atmosphere more easygoing as he struck up a conversation, "So, Hailey… This must be your first time out patrolling at night, yes?"
