Suspicion
"It was the Principal, wasn't it?" I asked, "Whose parents were killed that day. That person was the testimony but she was devastated by the fact that person refused to talk."
"..." he didn't respond.
"It's alright, don't need to answer that," I said.
His silence was enough for me to know the answer.
That's how it is.
That's why she is not acting like her usual self.
She refused to talk to me and was instructed only to contact her when someone is about to get killed.
It makes sense now.
She must have hoped to catch this bastard to know for real who was the killer of her parents. But the moment she knew he was dead she lost hope.
The only lead to catching the person who killed her parents was just about to be revealed, and not just that killer but some intel on the HYDRAs that they have been trying to catch.
But fate didn't agree to it and took a turn that she hoped shouldn't have happened.
