Fascinating (A Duskwood Fanfiction)

Chapter 18

Just after Jessy called (YN) about her own investigation, Phil cared to ask what her sister talked about and (YN) carried on telling what they just had in the conversation.

"What is she thinking?" Phil wondered. "You know what; she also asked me yesterday if I talked to you regarding Hannah's case." He said, informing (YN).

"Then what did you say?" She follows up.

"I only told her that you will end up asking me about Hannah since I happened to talk to her before she disappeared." Phil replied.

As far as (YN) can remember, Jessy is so eager to know about Jake and her findings too just this recently before she went to Duskwood. (YN) also recognizes the statement of Phil but something she just doesn't get, Jessy has been compulsive suddenly about knowing the progress in her own investigation and she even asked her brother for this.

"Do you know why she asked you about it?"

"I didn't since I am aware she's in the group and she's just probably helping, too. But the thing about your interrogation with me connected to Hannah is what I only told her about." He told (YN) which makes her think because he did not mention to Jessy about the Corvus Order thing.

"Not even your business partners who turned out to be a mafia group?"She asked again.

"Nope. I think it's gonna be risky if I ever leaked that kind of information, knowing that I could be involved, you know? And she will just get worried, that's too much anxiety for her if she ever knows."

(YN) thought about what he said, it is true and it is their major possibility at some point but unlike Phil, he did not tell that information to others rather than himself. On the other hand, (YN) has to tell that to Jake and Lilly to comprehend the whole situation. She thought she became unfair at that moment and feels sorry for that.

Another thing, Phil expresses his concern for his sister even though according to Jessy they didn't get along as children. Or maybe, she just really had a very bad impression of him from the very beginning.

But this makes (YN) question, she is convinced that Phil will not say that information to her sister because he had his own concerning reason. (YN) trusts Jake and Lilly with all her heart that is why she decided to tell the whole story and not just for the reason for them to understand it. Does this means...

"Don't you trust Jessy, your sister?" (YN) asked. She queried him looking for basis, presuming that it is relevant to her own reasons as well.

"It's not that I don't trust her and the fact that I don't want her to worry," Phil contemplated. "I just know her, she's very talkative. You cannot make her promise not to tell a secret to anybody because she will still spill it." He explained, being annoyed as he pictured her sister.

(YN) understands what Phil is talking about but she did not expect that his answer is similar to hers. But then she thinks how is that even going to occur from his point of view; because (YN) doubts Jessy. She doesn't fully trust her at all even though Jessy is all friendly and closest to her; she even ended up investigating Iris to help her. However, this trust issues she had applied to others as well and she just can't be biased, she had her own motives to each of Hannah's friends to consider why she is merely not capable to rely her trust on them and highly doubts others than Jessy.

"I know what you're talking about." (YN) she replied to Phil as she came to clear up that Jessy could be like that sometimes. "But I don't think she could really be that talkative. I mean we share a lot of conversation and she's just this very jolly person. We don't usually run out of topics, you know. And all the gossip came from her." She chuckled as she remembered when Jessy was the one who told her the rumor about Alfie's mother and Old Man Gray.
