The Woman From Hell

It was already late at night when we returned to the hospital. In the conference room. Chief Royce sat directly opposite us in silence.

I knew he had gone to the villa in the suburbs and found that those were merely an ordinary gang of crooks. Although they were able to save the children in time, there was no progress made in Munchkin's

case.

When he came back, he also learned that we had approached Alex by ourselves.

"How could you go to Alex alone, Mrs. Grant? It's too dangerous. There's a high possibility that your child is with him. If the kidnapper has the upper hand, then it'll be extremely disadvantageous to you and your family!"

I understood that he was mad, and he should be.

"Since you chose to call the police, then you should trust the police and share all information with us. You shouldn't act alone and take such risks."

"I'm sorry, Chief Royce. We had no choice but to act without permission." I sincerely apologized. "It's not that we don't trust the police, but it's because Alex's identity is truly special. In order to know more about Munchkin, we had no choice but to do so."
