章 51: Caught (3)

"We will leave him in your care, sir." The officer said before they left the apartment. 

"You can count on me, sir." Toto said as he responded to their salute.

Once the three officers left Nida's place, Toto stared at Nida worriedly.

"Nida, what happened?" he asked, despite the police officer's having already explained it to him. He knows that his friend's version of the story is the real one.

"Toto, I'm sorry for disturbing your duty, but can you take care of Randell for the meantime?" She said as she gazed at Randell, who was avoiding her eyes.

"I will, but tell me what happened first."

"The truth is..." Nida peeked at Randell again before continuing to speak.

With the same wariness, Randell is still near the entrance of her apartment, refusing to come in or be in contact with Nida.

"Please believe what I have to say, okay?"

"Of course I will." Toto confidently replied.

"Thanks." she said, clearing her throat first.
