"You're looking at me strangely now."
The girl with beautiful brown hair said, before rising to her feet:
"It's getting late, so I should take my leave. Detective, our cooperation continues. If something comes up, I will write directly to you."
"Miss Beyas, where do you live? At the Sun Cathedral?"
"Certainly not, otherwise wouldn't that be directly telling others that Blackstone Security Company is a stronghold of the church?
She gave her own address, which, of course, was similar to Miss Luisa's rented apartment:
"I will continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Silver-Eyed One. So, goodbye, Hamilton Detective."
Shard escorted Miss Beyas downstairs and as he watched her leave Saint Delan Square, he suddenly realized that his relationship with Miss Beyas was strikingly similar to the "friendship" Miss Annette sought.
