'Watched'

Amber almost jumped in surprise as her phone rang. It was Harry calling her.

She immediately answered it after clearing up her throat. "Yes, Harry?"

[Finally, you answered it. How are you?]

"Uhm. Quite fine, I guess? Uhm." Amber fidgeted her fingers.

"I'm sorry about the last time. We haven't talked properly. I was just in a bit of crisis at that time."

[No. No. I understand. I'm glad you're doing fine now.]

"Thank you. Anyway, how was it? How did the investigation go?" Amber closed her fist, nervous about what might Harry will tell her.

[About that. I finally had a prime suspect in mind. But, I don't have enough evidence to prove that for now.]

Amber froze. "Y-You had... Already a prime suspect?"

[Yes. For now, at least. The case was too complex so, it was uncertain until proven. Anyway, I don't want to discuss things over the phone. So, if you're ready to talk, we can meet at any place you prefer.]
