Office room, late evening. Coral leans against the desk, smirking.
LavenderEuphoria
Okay I'm just gonna say it I'm a 13 year old girl okay, I don't even remember what happened
leans back, crossing arms Well, well, well. Look who's suddenly having flashbacks. What's the matter, kid? Can't handle the truth?
LavenderEuphoria
I'm serious, I'm still young I can't really remember anything.
rolls eyes Young, huh? You think you're the first teenager to come running to me with a sob story? Cut the crap and tell me what you really want.
LavenderEuphoria
Again I'm not lying I'm telling the truth I can't really remember anything, I woke up and I was in a hospital bed and they told me my parents had died.
stands up, walks towards LavenderEuphoria Look, kid, I've seen enough lies to know when someone's pulling a fast one. You think you can fool me with your innocent act?
LavenderEuphoria
I'm serious again, I don't remember anything, they didn't have to tell me my parents had died I woke up and saw them dead.
narrows eyes, leaning in close Fine, if you're telling the truth, then maybe I can help you figure out what happened. But don't think for a second that I won't find out if you're lying. You hear me?
LavenderEuphoria
Okay.
straightens her tie, pulls out a small notebook Alright, kid. Let's start by getting some basics down. When did you last remember seeing your parents?
LavenderEuphoria
I think it was at my birthday dinner, we were celebrating. Then they told me happy birthday. My dad gave his famous toast and then...they blew up.
pauses, looking thoughtful Blowed up, huh? That's a pretty vague description. Did you see any suspicious activity before the explosion?
LavenderEuphoria
I-I don't know. It all happened so fast. I was just...I was just scared.
As Coral continues to question LavenderEuphoria, she notices subtle changes in her body language, indicating that LavenderEuphoria might be withholding crucial information.
LavenderEuphoria
looks down at her hands, nervously fidgeting with the hem of her shirt
raises an eyebrow, leaning in closer You're hiding something, aren't you? Spit it out, and make it quick.
LavenderEuphoria
I-I...okay, I don't have much. But there was a man, a stranger, watching us from a distance. I don't know who he was or what he wanted, but he gives me the creeps.
leans in even closer, voice low and threatening A man, huh? Describe him. And don't you dare leave anything out.
LavenderEuphoria
Um...he was tall, wearing a long coat and a hat. He had a scar on his face, it looked like a knife wound. And he had this...intense gaze. Like he was trying to tell me something.
leans back, deep in thought Hm, sounds like you got yourself a stalker. We need to find this guy and find out what he wants.
LavenderEuphoria
Okay.
grabs her phone and starts typing Alright, kid. First things first, we're gonna need some basic info on this creep.
LavenderEuphoria
gulps Basic info? Like what?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, you know, the usual. Height, weight, eye color, fingerprints, social security number.
LavenderEuphoria
I-I don't know all that.
rolls her eyes Figures. Well, lucky for you, I've got some friends who owe me a favor. They'll be able to dig up whatever they can on this guy.
LavenderEuphoria
Okay.
slams her hand on the table, leaning in closer Listen up, kid. I don't have time for your "okay" bullshit.
