On the night of October 23rd, her life shatters.
A seven-year-old girl wakes in silence, her body broken and her spirit trembling.
With nothing but pain and moon to guide her, she escapes into the darkness, bleeding, barefoot, and alone.
Under a pal...
She’d been doing her homework for a while; meanwhile, Fedrick was standing on the balcony dealing with a call from his work.
Fedrick ended the call and saw her working, so he decided to cook something for her. He wasn’t very good at cooking, but he did cook her simple foods like ramen, fried rice, curry rice, fried chicken, drinks, and some easy dishes. She was fixing some art pieces in his room meanwhile when she said, “I’m starving!”
Fedrick set down a steaming bowl of ramen.

“I know,” he said, coming out from the kitchen.
“Are you sure you are okay today?” Emma asked while slurping down ramen.
“What’s your sports teacher’s name?”
Emma saw him drinking orange juice. “Did she say something to you?!”
“Is there anything wrong with it? I’m just curious about something, Mr. Fedrick.
Fedrick checked his phone again and again as if he was waiting for some kind of important text, but he returned his gaze to Emma’s face as he awaited the answer.
“She’s a new sports teacher after our old sports coach got sick a week ago. She’s not a proper coach; she’s our music teacher, but she also had a degree in sports, and her record in both music and sports is so good that’s why the principal asked her to take his place for a few days, and she agreed. Her name is Jenna.”

She was silent now because she knew there was something not right, but she didn’t know anything either.
“I just saw her, and we barely talked,” he said, then went silent again.
She didn’t say anything either; she was a bit confused.
He dropped Emma at her house on time, but he had already decided to keep her with him after completing his next work, because it would bring her into danger if he left her at his place without any proper arrangement, and he didn’t want to put her life in danger.
He reached home after dropping her.
He lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought. He overthought every situation a lot and came to very perfect predictions and conclusions about what came next, and he was so perfect at this.
Suddenly, he said, “Where have you been all this time?” He was referring to someone very close to him.
Meanwhile, his mobile phone rang.
All his thoughts vanished, and he picked up the call. After the call ended, he texted Emma: “I’m going to France for a few days. Take care of yourself for me.”
Fedrick’s investigation led him to France. There was someone there he had wanted to meet for 15 years, and where he would confront a child trafficking kingpin was included in his plan.

After months of gathering evidence about that one beast, he was ready to dismantle that perpetrator and bring his own mind some peace, because as soon as he heard something like that, his blood boiled and he couldn’t stop thinking about how to handle it.
