A stack of papers was on the desk. Henrie circled around the desk, gathering his courage to read the notes the knights gathered from Ansgar's dwelling.
He prepared himself because he might find things that could break him down. He knew that Ansgar had left notes for Yohana, disguising himself as The Shadow. She also told him that sometimes, Ansgar would send her letters.
Henrie took a deep breath before extending his hands toward the pile of notes. Inches away from the notes, Henrie retracted his arm and sighed loudly. He was not ready.
Groaning, Henrie circled the desk one more time. He took deep breaths and extended his arm. He succeeded in his fourth try. The first note of the pile was "I'm here."
The note was dirty and crumpled, signifying what Yohana did to the note after she received it. Chill ran down Henrie's spine as he realized that Ansgar collected the notes that Yohana had thrown away. What kind of sick bastard would go this far?
