063 Victim Or Criminal

Sebastian's POV

To think that he might really know my wife better than | do is the worst feeling in the world. It's like the most

intimate corner of my heart is stained by another man, like untouched snow with an ugly, foreign footprint. "You-

We arrived at the building of Aurora's apartment, and she was standing right in front. of it, talking to a tall guy.

The guy has soft, blonde hair. His figure is bulky with clear muscles under his police short sleeves. But when he

turns around to us, his round chin instantly lights u The Three Musketeers! Not the book. It was us!

| used to play fencing with Adrian. We met another boy at the fencing class and we becfriends first, and

later "the three musketeers". It was decades ago though. | was only around ten when | dropped fencing.

| wanted to keep visiting Ava, so | begged Granny to quit fencing and play football instead, with Gabriel.

| remained friends with Adrian because our families are close, too. But that boy | forgot. He wasn't in the same

school with us. | can't believe | forgot him. | didn't even recognize him even though we spent another four years

| begin to see Adrian's point. | have given up a lot for Ava.

"How's it going, J?" Adrian walks up, | follow and reach out for a handshake, too. Shootinga weird glance,

Jeremy took my hand out of politeness.

"I have pulled up the security footage," Jeremy hands Adrian a tablet, the security footage is playing, "I saw your

car, and Miss Scarlett Fuller did enter. It recorded your leaving, and soon after, she cout on her own and

left."

"Can | take a look?" | clear my throat and ask Adrian out loud, "She's my wife and |

know her well. If there is anything wrong with her, maybe | can tell."

Jeremy raises his eyebrows in shock, and shooting a glare over, Adrian turns the tablet in my direction. | ignore

them and focus on the nebulous footage.

Scar looks fine. No one followed her out and she doesn't seem to be under duress. She looks calm, and impatient

though. The slook she has been givingthese days. So she left of her own will, to meet with someone

she didn't want to meet. The idea that I'm now on the list of people that she doesn't want to see spread a sour

taste in my mouth, but then it hits me-

Could it be Ava that she was out to meet?

That would make sense though! Scar is friendly to everyone. Granny, my secretary, my friends, and her friends.

The only people she ever showed a sour attitude to was Ava, Gabriel and his gang. Now it includes me, but |

know | didn't do anything last night. And from Gabriel's attitude, he wasn't involved in whatever happened last

night. Or he would at least have sidea about Ava's whereabouts.

Only one way for Ava to get Scar out, and that's a way we can check-

| turn to Jeremy: "Can you pull up Scar's phone record? Hopefully texts. Scar is highly likely out to see Ava, or she

thought she was. She prefers text over social media, and

if there was a text then-

Jeremy frowns. Pulling up phone records is not easy.

"I think someone lured Scar out in Ava's name," | turn to Adrian. | can't persuade Jeremy, but Adrian cares about

Scar, and that much | trust him, "She only wears that look when Ava is involved in any way.

Maybe someone used Jack's nand summoned Scar for a blood transfusion!"

"What blood transfusion?" Jeremy asks, confused.

Adrian's eyes turned cold when | mentioned a blood transfusion. Of course he knew. Scar never even told Aurora

about it, but | don't doubt Adrian knows about it in detail, maybe even including Ava's bone marrow donation.

After all, they are not exactly secrets.

"I'll explain later," Adrian tells Jeremy in a sullen tone, "He can be right about why Scar left hwillingly, and

we need to look into it, if Ava Fuller really is missing. too."

Petit Or Criminal

Jeremy glances at us both before he turns and waves over a police officer, giving orders.

"What's that supposed to mean?" | block Adrian when he follows Jeremy, "You think I'd joke about Ava being

missing? She is in a higher danger than Scar right now and-" "Have it ever occurred to you," Adrain cutsoff, 2

his tone colder than ever, "that Ava might not be a second victim in this case, but the criminal?"
