Linda sat up straight on the bed, her hands clasped tightly on her thighs. She swallowed hard as she averted her gaze from Oliver, who stood right in front of the bed. Linda could feel the menacing aura radiating from him. It wasn't hard to discern what would happen next. She summoned courage and looked at Oliver. She licks her lips and put on a grim face.
"Detective, I just want to apolo-"
"Do you know how hard it was looking for you?" Oliver cut in sharply.
Linda shrunk back, her courage to speak had dispelled completely. She bowed her head down, ready for the scolding she was about to receive.
"Why the hell, would you leave without notifying me? And how could you follow complete strangers?"
"T-They seemed nice, I never thought that-"
"Never thought that what? How could you even trust them? This is your first time in this city, you have to be more careful Linda."
Linda nodded her head vigorously.
