Bennett was stunned. When they first got there, the place was already a mess.

It all started when Brent realized his wife was missing. He went home to look for her but couldn’t find her. When he came back, the clinic was closed.

He broke in and saw that the place was empty. He started shouting, which drew a crowd from the farmers‘ market.

The well–meaning vendors trampled all over the place, mixing their footprints with the dirty water on the floor. Any useful tracks were lost.

The tables and walls were covered in fingerprints, mostly from the vendors. They spent days investigating, and the forensics team was exhausted from trying to make sense of it all.

But Quinlyn managed to find the culprit’s tracks among the mess and traced them to the alley, even pointing out that the suspect had left on a motorcycle, carrying something heavy.

“Now that we have a trail, I’ll send someone to check the nearby surveillance right away,” Bennett said, breathing a sigh of relief as he took out his phone to make arrangements.

Quinlyn looked at the busy streets and suddenly turned to Joseph, grabbing his hand. “I want that candy I saw at the farmers‘ market earlier.”

Joseph frowned, thinking that candy from a small shop wasn’t fresh and that they should go to a big supermarket instead. But then he felt a gentle tickle in his palm.

He paused, glanced around, and nodded. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

Since there was nothing left for them to do, they left without drawing any attention.

Bennett teased Quinlyn, “You eat so much candy. You’d better watch out for cavities.”

Quinlyn nodded obediently. “I promise I’ll brush my teeth every day.”

Bennett just laughed.

They returned to the farmers‘ market and were greeted warmly by a vendor. “Oh, aren’t you the cute kid from earlier? What brings you back? Do you want to buy some veggies? They’re all fresh.”
