Chapter 648

Snowflakes

By the time I arrived back at H.O.W.L. under the deepening evening sky, the crowd had doubled in front of the building.

Reporters, protesters, curious onlookers, all pressed against the barricades. Cameras flashed like lightning a I stepped out of the taxi.

I kept my head down and pushed forward, ignoring the shouted questions that blurred into white noise.

From the edge of the barricade, a familiar voice cut through the chaos.

“Snow? Miss Snow!”

I turned slightly. Tally V stood there clutching her bag to her chest, eyes red-rimmed and desperate. The guards had their arms out, blocking the surge, but she looked like she might try to climb over them.

“Let her through,” I said quietly.

The guards hesitated then parted just enough.

Tally V rushed forward, nearly stumbling.

“In few weeks time… my sister will be hanged, Miss Snow.” Her voice cracked. “You have to help me. I beg you. I came with her kids to beg of you.”

She pointed behind her. The two small children and a taller teenage one from the house the other day stood a few paces back, wide-eyed, clinging to each other, staring at me with that heartbreaking, silent plea that burned straight through my chest.

I lowered my gaze for a second, exhaling shakily. Then I reached out and took Tally V’s trembling hand. Cameras clicked relentlessly around us.

“I can’t promise anything yet,” I said softly, “but now I give you my word. Go home. Stay quiet. I’ll keep in

touch.”

She nodded, tears spilling over and stepped back, gathering the children close.

I turned and hurried inside.

The lobby was quieter, but the tension followed me up the elevator. When the doors opened on our floor, I stepped out just in time to see Eshan glaring down at Vast, anger rolling off him in waves.

“I told you to make an arrest,” Eshan snapped. “Have the cops drag her here if she dares resist.”
