—Clank!
"Haa...I'm finally free"
Entering her office, Donna shut the door behind her. Slumping on her chair, she exhaled.
Despite the fact that she was a ranked hero, even she wasn't exempted from the questioning. The fact that she had caught, Edmund Rice also didn't help.
He was a high-profile target after all.
In the end, after more than five hours of questioning, she was finally set free.
"What time is it?"
[3:00 A.M]
Turning her wrist, Donna checked the time. Time sure flew by. Leaning on her chair she decided to take a quick rest.
—Ring! —Ring!
"Now what?"
Right before she could closer her eyes, her phone rang.
Annoyed, Donna picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.
"Oh god..."
It was Monica. Ranked 27 in the Hero ranking and an ex-classmate of hers.
Someone that she couldn't handle.
—Ding!
Frowning, whilst contemplating whether she should pick up the call or not, a message popped up on her screen.
[Donna, if you don't pick up the phone I'm going to go to you directly. Right now!]
Without hesitation, Donna picked up the call.
"Hello? Monica? Is that you?"
—Hmph, I knew you'd pick up once I sent you that text.
Monica's high-pitched voice echoed from Donna's phone speaker. Judging from the tone of her voice, she seemed to be sulking.
"What are you talking about?"
Donna feigned ignorance.
—You think I'm stupid? You picked up as soon as I sent you that text. What does that tell me?
"Haa...is this the reason you called me?"
Covering her face, Donna sighed. She was too tired to deal with her at the moment.
—Ah, no. Of course not
"Then get to the point"
—Sheeesh...talk about petty. Alright, to put it simply, the Union wants a detailed report from you about the incident.
"Now?"
—No, but by this week.
Donna closed her eyes. She was visibly annoyed, 'You calling me at this hour just to tell me this? I've already spent five hours answering most of the questions'
"I can do that"
She still agreed in the end. Not like she had a choice. It was her duty as a ranked Hero.
—Great, love you lots...Oh right, before I forget. Congratulations!
"For what?"
—For your rank increase! Since you caught Edmund, at the end of the year when the ranks will be redone, you'll definitely rise. More money for you.
"Oh, that does indeed sound good"
Donna's mood improved a bit.
