At that moment, I became the sole person whom Riley could trust completely.
âDonât worry,â I reassured Riley, offering a gentle pat on her shoulder to provide comfort.
As Zoe prepared to depart, I approached her.
âZoe, Riley is genuinely concerned about her child.
Since she canât go there, please allow me to go in her place.
â
Zoe glanced at me and then shifted her gaze to Riley.
It was apparent that she realized she couldnât sway our determination, so she ultimately relented and compromised.
âIf youâre determined to go, then fine.
The location is near Gabriel
Street.

Before I stepped into the car, Zoe handed me a taser and advised, âTake this for self-defense.
Be cautious and try not to put yourself in harmâs way again.
â
Despite Zoeâs less-than-friendly tone, her actions still conveyed her underlying concern for my well-being.
I was deeply moved by Zoeâs actions
Despite being hurt by Harlanâs sudden departure and her harsh words,
Zoeâs innate kindness remained unchanged.
Taking the taser firmly in hand, I bid farewell to Riley and proceeded to follow the police, making my way towards Gabriel Street.
While en route, I received a call from Caleb.

I didnât want to answer it, but he called me again and again.
Worried that it might be an urgent matter, I reluctantly picked up the call.
âIs there something urgent?â
âYes, itâs a matter of great importance,â Caleb replied gravely.
I started to feel nervous.
âWhat happened?â
âI have some medication, but Iâm unsure about the dosage, frequency, and how to take it.
Please tell me quickly.
â
I fell silent.
His childishness let me stupefied.
Was Caleb intentionally trying to cause trouble for me?
Irritation began to build within me, and I didnât feel inclined to respond.
Impatiently, I retorted, âWhy donât you ask Carlos?â
Caleb appeared to pick up on my impatience and remarked, âSince youâre unwilling to provide me with an answer, I guess Iâll just consume all the medication meant for an entire day.
â
What the hell was wrong with him?
