"Two ladies came to file a case, but they insisted on seeing you," The figure answered, glancing over at Jasmine and Fiona who seemed to be interested in what was happening. "If that's the case, bring them in," Ryder thought for a moment then replied, before sitting back. "Alright sir," The officer nodded, then walked out of the office. Minutes later, the door was pushed open and two ladies around Fiona and Jasmine's age walked into the office. "Have your seats," Ryder pointed at the two empty chairs before him. The two ladies glanced at each other before sitting nervously, their hands shaking making it obvious they were scared. "So why did you insist I be the one to file your case?" Ryder asked almost immediately, his voice soft and calm as if to comfort the two before him. "Well......" The two ladies stuttered, staring at each other, not knowing what to say. They seemed too scare

Ryder soon pulled up before his villa, alighting from the car, he rushed to the back and carried Fiona out of the car and rushed into the house."You're back," Olivia's voice came, the moment Ryder walked in, placing Fiona on the sofa."Yeah," Ryder nodded, giving a short reply, at the same time, taking Fiona's pulse.There were bruises on her body which showed she had been beaten. Though her face was fine, other parts of her body were not fine.The injuries were obvious and the more Ryder stared at it, the angrier he got."Olivia, you should go get ready, I'll treat you first, then I'll come back to her," Ryder broke the silence and stood up from where he was sitting walking into the kitchen.Olivia stared at Ryder for a while and didn't say anything. His voice was off and she could tell he was mad.Glancing over at Fiona who was lying on the bed, her breathing even, she shook her head and stood up.There was no need to get involved. This was Ryder's mess, there was no need to care a

It had been a while since he went to the station. His leave was long done, but since he had helped out the police force countless times, Tim didn't dare disturb him.Also at the moment, the heavy downpour seemed to have reduced and was showing signs of stopping.He had two things. First, return Jasmine's car. Second, go to the station.But just as he stood up, he remembered something and turned to Olivia who didn't seem to notice his presence.Nah, rather, she had just been absolved by the Tv show she was watching."If I may ask, what do you know about the Brown family?" Ryder broke the silence, his voice pulling Olivia out of her thoughts."Huh?"
