"So, do you accept?" Ray held out his hand, hoping for [Name] to shake on it.

A Few Minutes Before
"At this point, I'm sure that Mom has already suspected that someone went out after curfew. I can't turn in Norman and Emma just yet. So, here's what will happen..."
"I'm gonna tell Mom that it was you who went out."
[Name] found this part of the plan unsettling.
"Wouldn't I get shipped out?"
"Not if we make a deal with Mom. I was supposed to make sure no one left the house. Mom is aware of your sharp eyes. There's a chance that she'll make you the watchdog. After all, you have potential. She's gonna wait until you're 12 to ship you outta here."
"So, basically using me as a trump card." [Name] specified.
"Just about right."
"So, do you accept?" Ray held out his hand.
Without hesitation, [Name] shook on it with a firm smile on her face. Ray returned the gesture. [Name] eventually stood up and walked towards the door, ready to sleep.
"Gonna leave already?" She was stopped by Ray's comment. She knew that he would catch on about her sleeping late in the library.
"I thought I should sleep early for once." She turned to the boy, who was sitting calmly on the same chair.
"I see. Goodnight, [Name]."
"Night, Ray."
A minute after [Name] left, Ray stood up to report to Mom's office.

"You're late." Isabella immediately said as soon as Ray walked in.
"I know, I'm sorry-"
He was cut off, "Did you see anyone leave the House?" Ray stood silent.
"Conny forgot Little Bunny, but yet the stuffed animal managed to make it to the gate." Ray continued to stay silent as Isabella stepped towards him, face to face.
"It was [Name]." A smirk crept up onto his face. Isabella was shocked at the fact that Ray gave in quickly. Especially for someone such as [Name].
"I'd supposed you'd want to make a deal for the sake of her life?" Ray gasped a little.
How did she know?
A light tint of pink crept onto Ray's face.
"Oh come on, don't think it wasn't obvious. I'm the mother here. I know everything."
