There was still no news from Trinity
After returning to Foswood, I went to see Anson. Although he looked pretty dejected, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.
I had lunch with him at the Huffman residence, but he was in low spirits. I didn't linger after the meal. I bid him farewell and headed straight back to the office.
The situation with Trinity was perplexing. How could a person of her stature just disappear without a trace?
I tried calling Trinity twice, but her phone was still off. Meanwhile, Atlas was busy organizing his affairs and preparing to depart for Jitador.
We had decided last night that regardless of the circumstances, we had to find accurate information about her somehow. After all, the Huffman family had been helping us investigate my father's whereabouts all this time. We still weren’t sure what had happened to Trinity, but we couldn’t remain indifferent.
During dinner, I mentioned to Anson that Atlas would be leaving for Jitador tomorrow.
He seemed indifferent and just said, "Thanks."
That made me even more suspicious.
Honestly, I didn't want Atlas to leave my side right now. The recent experience in Bourdamun had left me constantly on edge, and I was still in a state of nervous tension. Whenever I closed my eyes to try to sleep, I would see myself falling from the building, jolting me awake.
Atlas was also concerned about me.
Last night, he had suggested, "Why don't you come with me? It's a good opportunity for you to visit the country. Besides, you've never been abroad."
But Matthew’s trial was approaching. I had done everything I could. How could I leave at this critical time? Since had I taken charge, I had to see it through, right?
And Liora was being too brazen. I couldn't let her off so easily. Grandma Rose was right. She was a source of trouble and needed to be dealt with.
