Half an hour later, Mister Kirby completed all the necessary procedures to release Vicky on parole.
"Alright, let's go."
She looked up at him and whispered, "Thank you."
He glanced at the time. "What do you feel like eating? Let's have dinner."
"It's fine. I—"
He interrupted her. "Are you trying to tell me that you've eaten?"
She looked away guiltily.
Knowing that he was right judging from the look on her face, he said, "I've asked the officers, and you've been questioned in the station for the entire day."
"What does that have to do with...whether I've eaten or not?"
"This isn't a hotel. They don't just give you what you want, so I assumed that you haven't eaten."
Indeed, Vicky had not eaten much throughout the day. "How did you know that?"
The look in his eyes darkened. Instead of answering, he started walking and said, "Let's go. I'm starving."
She remained standing in place and watched as he walked away in confusion.
'Am I just mistaken, or is he in a bad mood all of a sudden?' she thought to herself.
...
At the restaurant, they ordered and dined. By the time they finished dinner, it was past ten at night.
