After they left, I followed Zoe to the police station.
âZoe, what have you found out?â I asked before she could ask me anything.
Zoeâs expression was impossible to decipher.
After staring at me for a while, she announced, âDebra, I suspect that you and Harlan are not really a couple.
â
My heart skipped a beat.
She even knew this?
There was a dark light in Zoeâs eyes when she stared at me.
âYou came to Roz Town for a mission, didnât you?â
I swallowed nervously, my fingers clutching my clothes
I never expected Zoe to be so sharp that she would be able to come close to the truth with so little information.
After several moments of silence, I finally got the courage to ask Zoe,

âSince youâve found out the truth, why didnât you report me to Adam?â
She shrugged.
âYours and Harlanâs identities are heavily concealed.
It took me a lot of considerable effort to even find some loopholes.
But thatâs not enough evidence.
To be completely honest, I havenât ratted you out to Adam because Iâm not certain if you plan to harm Roz Town or not.
â
Zoe walked closer to me and caressed the gun on her waist.
âDebra, I need an answer from you.
If your answer doesnât satisfy me, I will tell
Adam everything immediately.

My heart skipped a beat.
Before Gale passed out, she asked me to stay in the town to keep things calm.
If Zoe reported to Adam right now, everything would be in vain
For a moment, my mind flashed back to that tragic moment when the town was turned into a battlefield and innocent residents were rendered homeless.
Ny breath turned choppy and I went pale.
âDebra, now that we are here, donât you want to tell me the truth?â
Zoeâs eyes narrowed.
âIf you donât tell me the truth this time, I wonât give you another chance.
In the interest of the townâs safety, I will confront you without hesitation when we meet again.
â
I felt my eyes widen.
This was not what I wanted.
I weighed my options for a few seconds.
Eventually, I decided that it would be prudent to tell her something.
âHarlan and I are indeed here for a secret mission.
â
âWhat is the mission?â Zoe asked nervously.
