Chapter 42: Another Verdict

***

[Agent Selene POV]

[The next morning…]

Despite all the nagging I received last night, I managed to sleep peacefully, thanks to the exceedingly comfortable bed and the music that lulled me to sleep. However, my morning was the complete opposite of that.

As I sat on the couch in the living room, with my one hell of a partner sitting in front of me and my phone laid down on the table between us, I felt nervous. Yes. So nervous that I'm starting to break into a sweat despite the cold temperature in the room. My heart thumped loudly in anticipation. Any moment now and I would receive a call from one of the chiefs.

When I deviated from the mission and rescued the child, Fae (my brooch) had been sending me notifications of all the protocols I disobeyed. I turned her in silent mode, or else she'd nag me too, but still, being the intelligent AI she was, she reported me to Mythos—just as how all our brooches were programmed to do.
