Finnian stared at Keith for a while before saying, “Would you mind having a cup of coffee with me alone?”

Keith looked at the confused crowd and said loudly, “Alright, lead the way!”

Finnian was the first to walk out. Then, two people stepped forward and said to Keith, “Please!”

Keith glanced at the two of them. They were dressed very elegantly, but their expressions were fierce.

Finnian seemed to be absent–minded. He only instructed the carriage to start and ignored Keith.

Along the way, Finnian did not speak. He seemed to be deep in thought, and he was worried.

Keith would not speak either. He only looked out, remembering the way.

The carriage stopped after a while. Keith saw a green brick house.

“I’m Keith,” said Keith as he got off the carriage.
