Conrad and I were both staring out of the car window when he simply said, "Yeah."
It was just one word, but it was definite.
I turned to him, "You knew about this too? Then why go through all this drama?"
Conrad's jaw clenched, and he stayed silent.
Henrik got into the police car, and as it passed by, he waved in my direction.
I was inside the car, hidden by tinted windows, yet his wave clearly meant he knew I was there.
Everything was within his control, yet he ended up being a pawn in Ernest's game.
Henrik's departure wasn't the end; it marked the beginning of another plot.
A shiver ran down my spine as I remembered his words, "Conrad, Henrik mentioned there's a mastermind behind all of this."
"Hmm?" Faced with Conrad's questioning gaze, I hesitated because Henrik hadn't revealed who it was.
During my silence, Conrad spoke up, "Henrik's quite the manipulator."
It was as if he was warning me not to be fooled by Henrik.
I knew better than to take Henrik's words at face value, but I couldn't completely dismiss them either.
At the moment, I couldn't specify who the mastermind was, leaving me without a rebuttal.
The police cars left one by one, and I didn't notice Ernest among them, maybe because I was lost in thought.
"Where's Ernest Jefferson and the others?" I finally asked.
Conrad glanced at me, "They went to the station."
I stopped talking, letting Conrad drive me away. The road seemed endless, and exhaustion overcame me, so I closed my eyes.
