Chapter 76: How about Althea?

Chapter Seventy-Four:

How About Althea?

--

Althea noticed her gaze, although she said nothing, her gaze was enough to let April know not to say anthing about what she saw. April pursed her lips into thin line and forced herself to forgot about the cuts on her arms.

She once again observed Althea, this time, she noticed some oddity in her. The air she has yesterday is somewhat different from now. She does not know how different, but now, Althea has this distant feeling, and the feeling of trying to talk to a tall, thick and sturdy wall.

For some reason, Althea has her guard up, and within the time that the three of them entered, she noticed that her eyes did not even strayed to the other two on her back.

She's a little bit fidgety too. April noticed how many times Althea caresses her ring finger on her right hand. But everytime her finger can't feel the thing she's looking for, she'll resorted to pinching her arm.

April had a bad feeling.

It seems like Althea was really traumatized, or it was a past trauma waking up.

Feeling the guilt, April cannot stay idle anymore.

She gave the other two a brief glance before looking back at Althea.

To be honest, she doesn't even know why these two came with her. Seeing that neither of them wants to talk, she has no other choice but to talk by herself and made a mental note to not bring garbages in the future.

She cleared her throat, "Anyway, about them, we recieved a report earlier pertraining to the five but unfortunately, the police came to the scene too late and we discovered them dead. It seems like murder."

She paused, looking at Althea and waiting for her response. The latter did ot talk, so she continued. "The police said they don't know who or why they were killed, but they have something in mind: an infighting. It seems like they are part of an undergroound organization-"
