Everyone fell into a heavy silence.

They had merely followed the scripted deceit. Yet, inexplicably, Kristian had swallowed the tale whole.

"Mr. Shaw, actually..." one of them, grappling with a twinge of guilt, began, his voice trailing off as he considered revealing the truth-that Freya truly was swift on her feet.

Kristian's gaze swept over them, frosty and detached.

The man in the white T-shirt hastened to elaborate. "Ms. Briggs indeed outpaced us, but only because she'd asked us earlier to ease off, ensuring she wouldn't get caught."

"Yes, yes, that's precisely what happened."

"That's the whole story."

The rest quickly echoed their agreement, nodding along without hesitation.

The man in the white T-shirt cast a sharp, annoyed glance at his companion who had nearly let the truth slip.

Freya caught the exchange from the corner of her eye.

"Get lost," Kristian snapped, his anger no longer contained.

At his command, the group dissolved, scattering in all directions like leaves in the wind.

Freya wanted to keep someone back to ask questions, but it was too late.

Gerard, noticing everyone dispersing, swiftly started the car, maneuvered it close by, and then exited.

Before he could utter a word, he noticed Freya wrenching free from Kristian's hold, her usually serene face now clouded with fury.

Gerard began cautiously, "Mr. and Mrs. Shaw, perhaps we should discuss this matter at home."

"Call me Freya or Ms. Briggs," she insisted sharply.

Kristian's presence seemed to drop in temperature, a frosty aura enveloping him. Gerard hesitated, then revised his address. "Ms. Briggs, who were those people we just encountered? How did you come to be involved with them?"

The question visibly soured the expressions of both Freya and Kristian.

Without a word, Freya turned and strode off, clearly not intending to follow the same path as Kristian.
