Tabitha had her eyes lowered onto her desk when a knock sounded on her office door.
She raised her head and frowned. "Who's there?"
"Sylvia, ma'am." The voice said.
"Come in." Tabitha retorted and caressed her cheeks softly.
The door was pushed open and Sylvia who had a white suit walked in with a tab in hand. "There's something you have to see ma'am."
Tabitha extended her hand to take the tab. It was a crime news.
"Earlier today at 12:31, a fight broke out in Royal Crest avenue. A fight which started from Detective Davina Liv's apartment to her neighbors. However, the family of four are dead with a s***h like that of a cat's on their necks. In addition, the older male, has his clothes stolen. The police has told us, the citizens, not to worry as they've vowed to get to the root of this."
Tabitha's frown deepened. Within the course of watching the report, she already analyzed what possibly happened.
Dave and Davina had gone to her place. The werecat caught sight of them and made an appearance. A fight broke out and the werecat killed the family of four. Now the public thinks the detectives have a hand in the numerous deaths.
She held her forehead lightly. Glancing at her secretary, she saw the lady had something else to say. "What is it?"
"The cops called, said they need to interrogate you." The woman said slowly.
Tabitha chuckled. She hadn't forgotten the latter had been using her car. The car's plate number had been tracked back to her.
"Either you cancel the meetings I have, or put them on hold until I'm back." Tabitha instructed, getting onto her feet.
Sylvia didn't expect her to agree so easily, but there was nothing she could do.
Tabitha had stopped before the station and walked in to be interrogated. Coincidentally or maybe not, Isabella was the one in charge of the question, along with Jonas.
"Your car was found outside her apartment. Neighbors said they saw her alight from it due to its limited edition and..."
"I know all that. Why was I asked to come?" Tabitha cut in impatiently.
Isabella gnashed her teeth angrily. She was about to lash out, but recalled she was no longer a senior. It would also incur punishment if she did it when Jonas was around.
Calmly, she asked. "What's your relationship with the criminal?"
Jonas narrowed his eyes at the word 'criminal'. She had gone too far! It was still unclear if Davina had a hand in it.
While the man was calm, Tabitha directly reached out and grabbed Isabella. "I see your tongue is no more relevant to you!"
The anger in her eyes made Isabella cower in fear. However, she recalled Jonas was present and they were in the station so she tried to tug Tabitha's hands off while saying in displeasure. "You're assaulting an officer of the law. How brave of you!"
Jonas' lips twitched as his instincts told him Isabella would be dead if he didn't intervene. He needed no one to tell him Tabitha was a vampire!
Decisively, he went in-between them. "Can we stop this?!"
Tabitha narrowed her eyes at Isabella totally ignoring him. "The next time you spit rubbish from your mouth, I'd skin you alive!"
It sounded like gibberish to Isabella, Jonas knew Tabitha wasn't joking. Hence, he turned to look at Isabella and warned. "We've not concluded on who the culprit is. It's against the rule to pin the blame on a suspected perpetrator!"
Isabella lowered her eyes to hide the anger in them, but didn't forget to nod.
Tabitha didn't pay attention to him as she took her seat again. "What did you say you wanted?"
"We just want to know if you have any idea where Davina might have run to as her best friend." Jonas replied.
Tabitha chuckled and put on a thoughtful expression. "My sister has a lot of places to run to. I don't know how to describe them, but even if I do, I doubt you'd be able to find her."
Jonas kept silent as he pinned his eyes on her. "Why should I believe you'd give us the right location and not somewhere to get us killed?"
"For a fact, hundreds of you are no match for her then. Now, I doubt a legion can leave unscathed if you approach her."
Tabitha was merely responding to his interrogation, but to Isabella, she was demeaning them!
.....
A man sauntered into the dark house. He stopped in the sitting room and slumped on the couch.
A lady who was on the couch, got up and ran to him. "Are you alright? Come, I'll take you upstairs!"
"Not so soon!" A elderly man said, walking out of a hallway. He took a seat opposite the man and asked. "How did it go?"
"It went well. He transformed and almost killed me." The werecat groaned.
The lady beside him tightened her grip on his arm. Then looked towards the elderly man. The man wasn't that old, but due to his genes, he already had gray hairs at the age of 48.
"Father, I don't see any reason for Dave to know who he is. He'd grow stronger and help the evil man to carry out the ritual." The woman complained.
The elderly man shook his head. "That's what I also thought at first, but then she appeared. Not only would he find out about his true self, he'd also help us win."
No one said anything after that. The werecat suddenly said. "He has someone else with him. Davina Luc!"
The name jolted them. Suddenly, the elderly man laughed out. "Isn't the moon goddess being a little cruel? Those fellas are really gonna hurt themselves."
The werecat and the lady exchanged a look, but asked the man nothing. Before the elderly man left, he instructed. "Calister, I'd have you transferred to the station. Keep an eye on Jackson for me."
