After they left, I followed Zoe to the police station.
“Zoe, what have you found out?” I asked before she could ask me anything.
Zoe’s expression was impossible to decipher. After staring at me for a while, she announced, “Debra, I suspect that you and Harlan are not really a couple.”
My heart skipped a beat.
She even knew this?
There was a dark light in Zoe’s eyes when she stared at me.
“You came to Roz Town for a mission, didn’t you?”
I swallowed nervously, my fingers clutching my clothes
I never expected Zoe to be so sharp that she would be able to come close to the truth with so little information.
After several moments of silence, I finally got the courage to ask Zoe,
“Since you’ve found out the truth, why didn’t you report me to Adam?”
She shrugged. “Yours and Harlan’s identities are heavily concealed. It took me a lot of considerable effort to even find some loopholes. But that’s not enough evidence. To be completely honest, I haven’t ratted you out to Adam because I’m not certain if you plan to harm Roz Town or not.”
Zoe walked closer to me and caressed the gun on her waist. “Debra, I need an answer from you. If your answer doesn’t satisfy me, I will tell
Adam everything immediately.”
My heart skipped a beat.
Before Gale passed out, she asked me to stay in the town to keep things calm. If Zoe reported to Adam right now, everything would be in vain
For a moment, my mind flashed back to that tragic moment when the town was turned into a battlefield and innocent residents were rendered homeless.
Ny breath turned choppy and I went pale.
“Debra, now that we are here, don’t you want to tell me the truth?”
Zoe’s eyes narrowed. “If you don’t tell me the truth this time, I won’t give you another chance. In the interest of the town’s safety, I will confront you without hesitation when we meet again.”𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
I felt my eyes widen.
This was not what I wanted.
I weighed my options for a few seconds. Eventually, I decided that it would be prudent to tell her something.
“Harlan and I are indeed here for a secret mission.”
“What is the mission?” Zoe asked nervously.
