Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 406 - First meeting
...***...
Aland and Lucy step down from the taxi they were riding in.
"So this is the place?" muttered Aland while looking up at the European-style building behind the magnificent gate that was before them.
"The architectural style is European" Lucy commented.
"Yes." Yeah."
"In that case, I'll go in and check inside, you stay here and keep an eye on the situation."
"All right."
Lucy and Aland split up. Lucy approaches the building in front of her, while Aland approaches another place to watch over Lucy.
Lucy was already wearing a disguise, wearing a shirt and a short skirt with heels.
"So you're saying, our target has a brother at this school?" lucy muttered to Ethan across the street as she continued to stare at the building before her without noticing her steps.
"Yes. He does have a brother at the school I mean" Ethan said.
"I'll try asking some of the workers here. But I'm not sure if they'll be able to understand what I'm saying" Lucy murmured.
"You just show me the picture."
"Okay," said Lucy as she continued to move. He pulled out his phone and began to check photos of his target. But his steps that do not pay attention to the road, inadvertently make Lucy hit a man standing in the parking lot.
Bruk!
Lucky the man didn't fall for her. Lucy looked up at the man wearing the school uniform before her.
"Oops, sorry. I really accidently bumped into you," he apologized. Rei was speechless looking at the blond woman before him.
"No problem. I was also wrong for not paying too much attention to the road" said Rei who could somehow speak fluently in English. He could also easily understand every single sentence that came out of his mouth.
"You can understand what I'm saying?" asked Lucy with a surprised face.
"Yes.." sahut Rei accompanied by a nod of the head.
"Thank God, I don't think you'll understand." Lucy smiled with relief. "I'm sorry again once again."
"It's okay," Rei said no problem. Lucy was just about to leave, but she suddenly stopped when she remembered her purpose for coming here.
"Oh! By the way, can I ask you something?"
"Just ask" Rei replied.
"Look this." Lucy turned on her phone. "Have you ever met this guy? Or maybe you know this guy? I heard that this guy has a brother at this school. But I'm not sure if his brother works or goes to school here" Lucy said.
The woman showed the photo of her target to Rei.
Rei silently watched the picture of a middle-aged man on Lucy's cell phone. He frowned.
"I don't know him, and I've never seen the man you mean."
"Really?"
"Maybe it's because it's rare for a student's parents to visit, so I've never seen one. In addition, as a great student here go home and go without being picked up, because they bring their respective vehicles," he explained.
"I see.well maybe I'll ask someone else. Thanks for helping out."
"No problem. I'm also sorry for not being able to help more."
"Yes, it's okay. Then I'll excuse you."
"Please," he said.
Lucy moved from her place.
