After Tom turned and left the room, Toby picked up his phone and was contemplating whether he should call or text Sonia. In the end, he decided to go with a text. ‘Tom is sending those men over now. Just wait a little.’

At the same time, Sonia was seated in a chair in the lobby of the police station. Feeling her phone vibrating in her handbag, she whisked it out to check it. Upon seeing the message, she smiled and replied hurriedly, ‘I got it. Thanks!

Toby‘s reply came very quickly as well. ‘You‘re welcome. Also, I‘ve taken care of those two guys for you!

He took care of them? she thought in surprise. ‘How did you take care of them?’

‘You‘ll find out in a while, he replied.

Seeing how he wanted to keep it a secret, Sonia pursed her lips and kept her phone away instead of asking him again. Since he didn‘t say it when she asked the first time, then there was no need to ask the second time. Just then, she heard a familiar voice from nearby.

Knitting her brows together slightly, she turned to the source and saw Cynthia speaking to a female police officer standing in front of her.

It appeared as though the officer was lecturing Cynthia, who kept her head low while bobbing it and answering, “I understand. I won‘t do it again.”

Noticing that Cynthia was dressed in her private clothes instead of the orange jumpsuit, Sonia knew that her detention had ended. What a coincidence, she thought, not expecting that she would run into the scene where Cynthia regained her freedom while she was here to make a police report.

But her detention was supposed to be twenty days. Why did it end so quickly before the twenty days were up? she wondered and stood up to walk over.

The crisp, clear sound of her heels clicking on the floor drew Cynthia and the officer‘s attention, and they stopped their conversation as they spun their heads simultaneously toward her.

When Cynthia saw Sonia, her face fell; she quickly hid behind the officer, as though she was avoiding Sonia like a plaque.

Smirking, Sonia thought, What‘s going on? Is Cynthia that afraid of me?

After peering at Cynthia behind herself, the officer smiled and greeted, “Hi, Miss Reed.”
