Finn Taylor wasn't truly curious as to what Hilary Stone was up to, so he left.
How was he to know that he had narrowly missed a good show? Hilary Stone and her son were in the woods waiting for someone, and that person was none other than Gremlin.
Of course, Finn Taylor had no idea that he had missed out on witnessing such an exciting scene, much less that Hilary Stone was working with Gremlin.
Neither did Hilary Stone know that Finn Taylor knew Gremlin.
However, such was fate.
"Why did you come only now?" Although Hilary Stone had only been with Finn Taylor for a short while, she had been waiting in the forest for a long time. Gremlin casually strolled over three hours past the time they had agreed on.
"Why? Did you feel anxious waiting for me? You can tell me if that's the case."
"We're working together as equals. The way you treat me annoys me."
