Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 458 - Why are you undercover?
...***...
Is that Melinda? So right, Melinda's been interfering with this too?
"Oh yeah, by the way do you know that guy? You didn't seem surprised when I told you he was the one who met us back then."
"That's because he also went to school. Name's Andrich. Just a few months ago he moved to my school."
"Andrich?" Lucy repeated her name. He tried to remember the man.
"But can I know? Why are you undercover and coming to my school? This time it was Rei's turn to try to extract information from Lucy.
The Anglo-French woman was silent.
"That's.." Lucy was silent for a moment trying to find an idea to answer her question.
Rei narrowed both his eyes. Staring suspiciously at Lucy who is now quietly looking for an excuse.
"I came because there was someone I had to meet, and we also had a project together with one of the teacher's acquaintances there." Lucy reasoned.
"really?" Rei can't believe it. He could see clearly that Lucy was lying and hiding something from him.
"Yes." Yeah."
"So you didn't come to try to find information about the fugitive you were chasing? Didn't you say that while at the restaurant that you were helping Aland's father, who was a cop, to find the fugitive who ran away?"
Lucy was silent. He forgot about it, and he did not expect that Rei still remembered the reason of his question some time ago.
"Actually that too" murmured Lucy.
Rei mangosteen.
As expected, there was something he had been hiding until this moment. Butwhat? Andwhy? Rei still did not understand.
Lucy breathed a sigh of relief.
He believed my reasons, he thought.

Lucy stops her car in front of Elvina's house after Rei shows her the way.
The focus of both of them immediately switched to the car that had just arrived with his motorbike.
Rei got out of the car.
"Elvina!"
"Rei?"
Elvina got up and rushed over to Rei who had just arrived with Aland and Lucy.
Rei approached. Once there, Elvina immediately hugged him tightly and sobbed in his arms.
Leon jolted when he saw what his girlfriend had just done.
Rei rubbed his shoulders gently, trying to calm Elvina down.
"Will. His voice was so slow as a whisper that Lucy, Aland, and Leon could not hear his voice.
"We'll definitely be able to find him. Now you calm down, so we can find a way and devise a plan so we can find him."
"I'm afraid Joe took him straight to the lab."
"I'm sure not. Will's still in Jakarta, and he can still be found."
A jealous Leon sees the two embrace immediately to them and breaks up the two.
"Have it done" he said, separating the two.
Rei and Elvina looked at Leon simultaneously.
"I think we better go in and find a way to find Will inside" he said. Just now he was about to embrace Elvina and bring her in, but Elvina first refused.
"I'm really sorry, Leon. Can I ask for my own time? Give me time to clear my head."
"But I want to…"
"I beg you," cut Elvina.
Leon sighed softly and said, "it's fine if you say that."
