The Culprit

Sei took several deep breaths to calm her raging heartbeat as she stared at the police station that was only a few feet away. 

A few hours ago, she had received a call from the local police department saying that there had been a development in her case. 

She had hardly expected the investigation to bear fruit this soon, and she would be lying if she said that she did not wish for it to take a bit more time so that she could mentally prepare herself. 

As such, she really had no other option but to bring in some reinforcements for moral support. 

A large and warm hand suddenly wrapped around her own and her mood immediately showed signs of improvement.

"We're here for you, love. Let's just go and hear what they have to say." Malachi comforted.

"Thank you, honey... I know that I'm being silly." Sei said with a helpless smile.
