DEVOTION | L. FORGER

CHAPTER 22

My breath staggers and my hands shake as I make my way to Loid's house. I look outside the window of my cab, feeling overwhelmed. As if even the slightest word put wrong I might break down. 

"We had our suspects on your boyfriend actually, but sadly we couldn't do anything because we didn't have enough proof"

"What does he have to do with anything?"

"Oh darling, he's half the reason you're here" he continues, "It was him you tried to call wasn't it?"

"He just could be busy" I speak trying to stay positive about him. 

"If you don't mind me asking, what back story of his did he tell you?"

"That his mother passed away and his father never came back from war, so the government-"

"So the government funded him and now then he took up medical to help people now he is a psychiatrist doing blah blah, yes this story we very much know, and is very much made up"

"What?" I ask in disbelief. 

It couldn't possibly be true right? There is no way I accept to believe that Loid is not only involved with all of this let alone the main cause of it. 

"Listen this is what you are going to do. You will be sent home after this with a small micro-chip attached to your collar which you will by no means remove otherwise you'll become a suspect involved with him. You will go meet him, I don't care how you do it, but you must"

"If, what you're saying is correct, that Loid is the one behind all this, what proof do you have that it is him?"

"We don't, but that's where you come in"

"What does that mean?" I ask.

"You will confront him and your micro-chip will allow us to record the conversation. Thus, how we will gather proof"

I still for a moment. That means there is no escape for me. 

"Now you can cry and make a scene as big as you want, but there is one thing you must ask clearly"

"And what is that?"

"Did you kill Hatake?"

My lips quiver unable to take this. I start to sob in the middle of the interrogation. Why did things turn out this way? I only wondered if this would be the hard part but, talking to Loid will be even more of a harder job than I thought it'd be. 

"I don't- I don't think I can ask that I am sorry" I ask sobbing.

"Darling," Yuri says sweetly, he walks up to me and puts his hand under my chin slightly raising it and then tightly grasping it making me flinch, "You are going to get yourself killed"

He says will a different type of rage in his eyes. His blood-red eyes only warm me to listen to him. 

 "O-okay I'll ask"

"Good girl" he says with a smile. Very contradicting to his previous expression and behavior. 

"You are good to go darling"

I don't even bother saying anything as I get up and run. 

"Oh and also Y/n, try not putting so much faith and trust in a guy you barely know" He speaks so mildly.
