Questions and Hidden Agendas

"Good Evening, Ma'am."

The man says and looks inside the house. His eyes scan the room that he can see and briefly makes eye contact with you in which he freezes and then looks to your mother again.

"I am Detective Wallace, there was a report on several individuals carrying around contraband items around these parts....I just want to ask a few questions if thats alright?"

The man speaks to your mother and you look away pretending to be busy at the kitchen as you open the fridge and take a look inside.

"Oh! Oh my~ that's quite the scary news. Of course, I'll help in whatever way I can."

Your mother says in her sweet voice and the man nods. Over the next few minutes they go over several questions and your mother answers them swiftly....then you feel his gaze on you.

"Is he your husband?"

The man asks and you sort of jump in place. Your mother begins to chuckle a little and glances back at you.

"Oh! Ahaha~ no no, that's my son, Detective Wallace."

"Ah, my apologies ma'am. Can we talk to him?"

The man says with a smile and you turn to look at him closer. He wears a gray trench coat with the aforementioned hat that hides his dark brown hair underneath. He stands tall but not taller than you. He is muscular in shape with a broad chest and shoulders. He is clean shaven except for a well shaped mustache above his lips.

"Oh? Well I guess you could."

Before your mother even calls for you, you were already there at her side having made your way over quietly.

"Hey, name's Jun. It's nice to meet you."

You say and reach out a hand to the detective. He smiles at you and grabs your hand firmly to shake it.

"I'm Detective Wallace, it's nice to meet you too. As I was saying earlier there were reports and sightings of several individuals with contraband items in the neighborhood....I uh....assume you attend The Sun Academy? Have you seen anything of the like around here or at school?"

You lift a brow at his words and shake your head.

"No, not really. Nothing out of the ordinary I'd say."

"No suspicious individuals or anyone who looks out of place?"

You shake your head again.

"No."

A small silence comes over the conversation as he nods, seemingly understanding and looks down at his wrist watch. A sudden shift of demeanor as he smiles.

"Well, thank you Ma'am and....Jun. Please keep your eyes peeled for any suspicious individuals or activities around here. Anything helps."

He nods and looks at your mother. You also smile back with her and just look between the two of them. Your hand twitches a little behind you....the kitchen knife in your hand having brought it as a contingency for the worst....Amelia's words of others wanting your powers echoing at the back of your mind. Your instincts are on full alert as you take in your surrounding with clarity, noticing every sound and every thing that moves.

"Oh~ of course! No worries Detective. We will try our best to find these bad people."

"Well- please don't go around searching for them. Just report anything out of the ordinary. Don't want you all getting hurt now."

With another short exchange the detective leaves and your mother closes the door.

You gulp and stare daggers before looking to your mother. She lets out a deep sigh and locks the door.

"Oh my~ that doesn't seem good does it?"

"I don't like the way he looked at you."

You say still keeping the knife behind your back.

"Oh Jun~ he was a nice fellow. Don't be like that~."

"Yea, but he seems....fishy somehow. He said he wanted to ask me questions and then left after-"

Your mother cuts you off and leans in to give you a hug. Her arms wrap around you and she pecks you on the lips quickly. She has to go on her tippy toes to do so. You stop and look down at her, double taking at what she just did before realizing that she's treating you like a kid again. Your body however calms down and your grip loosens on the knife.

"Don't worry dear~ now, Mom will always love you. So don't worry about these scary stuff okay? Just keep on going and doing what you do best! Leave the rest to mom."

You let out a deep sigh.

"Right....thanks mom. I love you too."

"Oh~ you don't know how proud I am of my little Jun~."

You finally lean into the hug and feel her motherly warmth comfort you.
