41: Investigation
Lara let out a frustrated groan. She understands everything they're saying. But this... this wasn't the case for her. She knows Cedric and her father both desired the same thing, and that's her security, her safety. However, her desires were not the same as theirs. Lara wanted her freedom back, as well as her right to choose for herself. She understands there's danger lurking in the shadows, but she wasn't a weak, defenseless girl anymore.
"Fine. I'll handle it myself." Lara rose and turned to walk away, but Cedric stopped her. Getting in her way. Since her new goal was to go back as early as possible, as she had to speed up the investigation.
"What are you suddenly up to now?" With a concerned expression on his face, Cedric asked.
"Move. I'm going to work."
"No." Cedric stood his ground and blocked her path. "I told you I won't let you do that. You're not going back, pumpkin. I won't let you."
