Chapter Six: Bismarcks

Chapter Six: Bismarcks

Jean was confused about Max's sudden interest in Erin's welfare that she protested about it. Maximillian insisted that Erin will be under his wing to repay Ms. Sinclair's bravery last week. Jean made no further protests about the matter. His secretary called her husband to send for Erin's things but Max offered that he will buy things for Erin himself.

Maximillian can't seem to comprehend why he can't leave Erin and proceed with his life. Just the thought of Erin fending for herself is unbearable. If Erin turned out to be lying, then, he needed to make sure she was taken care of until the day comes that the girl confesses the truth about her silly stories regarding her time-traveling shit.

He sighed. Maximillian couldn't bring himself to believe Erin's stories no matter how much evidence are presented before him. He can't help it. He's only human. He never believed in fairytales, tooth fairies, or Santa Claus and his accomplice Rudolph-whatever that is!

He sighed.

Erin went inside his house on Mondville Street. The little devil knew the name of his maid and where the vacant room is. Erin also squealed and embraced Maine as if Maine is her old friend.

"Get away from me!" Maine was horrified by Erin's actions. Knowing that Maximillian brought the weeping teenager with him into their home, Maine shot a questioning look at her brother. She then mouthed, What is going on?

"Aunt Maine! Oh, Auntie, I've missed you!"

"Who are you?!"

"Erin has schizophrenia, Maine. Let her."

Maine's face shifted from being grumpy to being soft and understanding. "Oh, nice to meet you, Erin. I'm Maine, yes, but I'm not your Aunt."

Erin nodded and sobbed on Maine's shoulders. "Oh, Aunt Maine. My week has been terrible. I don't have money or clothes. Aunt Jean had to give me her old clothes so that I can take a bath."

Maine threw a confused look at Max. Her older brother shrugged as if saying, Let her cry for a while.

"Don't worry, darling. We will go shopping. A-Aunt Maine will be here for you."

"I knew you will not push me away, Auntie. You love me so much."

Maximillian left the two teenagers to their own devices and headed to the billiards room where he always found a well-deserved solace. The maid, as usual, prepared his cup of coffee on the table there and he drank it with renewed vigor. Bringing Erin home has brought him peace. He sighed.

Maximillian swore to find out everything regarding Erin's abilities if it was really true. He will accept her into his home with open arms if ever he's convinced of Erin being his daughter. For now, he needed to rest.

"IS THIS UNIT good enough, Haya?" Her friend asked as she surveyed her new apartment far away from Sutton City. Her friend, Philip Mayers, gave her another address to start a new life. Her father will have a hard time finding her here now. In Greene County, she is safe. Her life will start anew.

Greene County is her last chance of having a normal life. Greene County is a small city with only a few workers. Hyacinth will find peace there, she is sure of it. Well, she could only hope for the best.

Hyacinth inhaled the fresh air that roamed around the two-bedroom unit. This is more than enough for her.

She handed a paper to Philip. "This is where the criminal planted the evidence as well as the murder weapon he used. The criminal also kept a trophy from his victims by removing all their fingernails. He has a detailed diary hidden in the location written inside the envelope." Hyacinth looked into Philip's eyes. "As always, the reward money is all yours."
