When they left that place behind, Arthur said, "All right, you can open your eyes."
Veronica finally opened her eyes and found herself in the town. It was a quiet area but the lights inside the houses were turned on. Arthur was standing beside her. He looked a bit sweaty. His shirt was drenched in sweats. "What happened to those people?" asked Veronica.
Arthur seemed upset. "Is this the only thing you can ask? You could have asked how I'm doing?"
Veronica hurriedly said, "No, no, I didn't mean to sound uncaring. I know you are okay since you are standing right in front of me. But, I didn't hear anything from them." She was embarrassed that she didn't ask about him. She was being ungrateful. However, she badly wanted to know what happened to those murderers.
