Sophia pressed the doorbell a few times before the door swung open automatically. Pushing through the main gate, she entered Linus’ front yard. The French windows were dark and bleak as if no one was home. But after taking a couple of steps, the house lit up and Linus came out of his workroom.

He opened the door to let her in.

“Sophia, what brings you here?”

She looked at him still dressed in his work attire and guessed, “You’re still working at this hour?”

“Yeah.”

When he saw the injuries on her lips and neck, he inquired, “What happened to you?”

Without hesitating, she answered, “I went out for a night run and slipped because the ground was too slippery.”

Linus casted a quizzical glance at her but did not press further. He did not know about the bad blood between her and Phantom Wolf. He assumed that Phantom Wolf had gotten attacked by Nicholas’ silver needles when he was trying to harm the Fletchers.

Sophia stated her purpose for coming, “I noticed that Nicholas has an additional defense feature now that comes with a gun. The silver needles inside of it seem quite good. Can you give me the link from where you purchased them from? I want to stock up for Nicholas.”

He took a look at Nicholas and figured that Sophia had already found out about the properties of the silver needles. “That item can’t be listed on the market legally, but I still have a lot left. I’ll give you a dozen.”

 

She quickly interjected, “No, no. How much are they? I’ll buy them from you.”

She felt bad enough to ask him for things. Those were all valuable and high-tech products!

Linus did not refuse either. “Okay, I will issue an invoice to you in a bit.”

This time, Sophia felt at ease leaving Nicholas with Linus to get the ammunition replenished.
