Chapter 261: It Was A Trap.

"We didn’t even have a proper conversation with Marcus," Hiro hissed inside the car as they drove away from Mr. Slade’s house in the quarter. They had the principal locked up in there till Marcus returned. "He was so grumpy and annoying, like it’s our fault that he lost his daughter eighteen years ago."

"Exactly. He’s pouring all his frustration on us," Taros sighed, leaning back in his seat. Kaito was silent. He hadn’t said a word or replied to any question since they got into the car. Something was bothering him deeply, something different from all their troubles.

"Are we going to wait here till Marcus asks us to move?" Hiro asked, his eyes moving to Seraphina, who had been quiet too. Her head rested against the window, her face distant. The car kept rolling slowly down the road.

"I think we should wait," Taros replied. He tapped Kaito, who turned to him for a second before focusing back on the road. "You’re quiet."

"Really?" Kaito muttered. "I was thinking about Renn... what his reaction will be when he finds out what Principal Valois did. It’s going to break him."

"He’ll feel the same way we do," Taros said, referring to Angela. "He was close to her. Is there something else to worry about?"

"Yes. I’m confused because Dave mentioned Principal Valois and Renn when we were at the hospital," Hiro said, trying to recall the exact words. Everything had happened too fast for him to think clearly.

"Is Renn still seeing Miss Valois?" Taros asked, frowning in disappointment.

"Hell no," Kaito replied, avoiding his gaze. He wasn’t sure if he should say more or wait for Renn to wake up and explain things himself. It was better if Renn said it.

"So why the jealousy?" Hiro asked. "Why did she hate Angela that much?"

"I don’t know, but it has nothing to do with Renn. I promise," Kaito said as he stopped the car and got out quickly to avoid more questions.

"Something’s wrong with your guy, did you notice?" Hiro said, stepping out of the car as he watched Kaito walk into the hospital building.

"I see it... but he won’t talk," Taros said quietly. He knew Kaito was going through something he didn’t want to share. "I’ll ask him later. We’re all a mess today. I don’t want to push it."

"Are we going in?" Seraphina asked, looking at the chaos Marcus and his sister had caused. Her chest tightened at the sight. Who was going to fix this now? Them or the authorities?
