Chapter 19

''Hela, do you want anything? I am going to Naden Coffee'' 

''Oh, no thanks! I am leaving'' she said as she was organizing her sheets.  Blaise stopped from his way, his brows knitted.

''Where? It's middle of the day.'' He leaned against the wall crossing his arms.

''I am going to visit family Laufey, since with their missing daughter and-''

''We are not investigating their case, we were told off.''

''I know, but I still want to see how they are doing.''

''Leaving mid-work wouldn't be fair.''

''Will you cover me please? I swear something it's off and I have to check it.''

''It's not our business.'' Hela rolled her eyes and grabbed her keys, bag and then her coat. She left the office in a rush.

She got in front of the door, she sighed loud then her mouth curved into a smile, then she felt ready to knock on the door. 

''Hello?'' the door opened, behind it standing the tired woman, her eyes were tired, her face had an exhausted expression but as soon as her eyes met Hela, her poor fragile face lightened up a bit.

''Oh! Dear, what are you doing here?'' her mouth twitched forming then an worried smile.

''Good morning ! I wanted to make you a small visit, I hope I am not bothering much am I?'' She awkwardly spoke but just as she was trying to find her words she remembered about the bouquet she brought, her eyebrows raised doing a surprised face ''Oh right, these are for you'' she landed it.

''Oh, you did not have to!'' she let out a soft chuckle. ''Oh right, come in!'' she backed making space for Hela to enter the room. 

She sat down the couch as Mrs. Laufey left to bring something to drink. Hela was looking around awkwardly. She got up following her asking where the bathroom is. As she was walking towards it she remembers Fenrir. She notices near the bathroom a door which had funny stickers on, so she assumed it was his room. She goes to it knocking to salute him but no response, she opens it slowly just to reveal no one was in the room.  She looked behind making sure she was not being seen then continued looking around the room. It seemed like no one used that room in long, she didn't assume nothing so she decided to leave, it was not her place to search their house but just as she left his mom was standing right there.

Hela was startled by her but also embarrassed by the situation she created, she tried to explain herself but nothing than mumbles and shutters came out. The woman didn't seem to bulge, her eyes darkened and looked zoned out. A wave of sadness covered her face. 

''He is gone since the trial.''

''Trial?''

''You know, when he was arrested''

''He was what?"'

''Don't you work with the police?''

''I do but I never heard of him getting in any trouble?''

''Oh, that is weird, I expected you to know about the case.''

''I am sorry, I will read about it my bad.''

''Good morning sir.''

''Good morning, how is the work going? Any leads?''
