"Is that your sister?" I asked, pointing to the picture.

"Yes...my little Athena." A bittersweet smile playing on his lips. He didn't say anything else.

I didn't know what to say or do, so I simply thanked him and left the house with Lucy.

"He's a good man, a good brother," I told Lucy.

Lucy nodded in agreement. "I told you that before," she replied, gesturing for me to follow her into the garden.

We sat on a bench, Lucy's voice hushed as she spoke, "What I'm about to show you, please keep it a secret."

My eyes widened. What could she possibly be hiding? Was there something I didn't know?

She pulled a small album from her backpack and opened it slowly. I gasped, "Lucy!......" She placed a finger on my lips, shushing me.

"It's okay, it's okay!" I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper. "What is it?"

"It's Kevin's album," she replied, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and fear. "I took it from his room."

"That's illegal!" I exclaimed.

"But it's important," she insisted. "He's not just a good person by nature. He's also...something else."

"Lucy, you can't..." I began, but she cut me off.

"I want to show you something," she said, flipping through the album. She stopped at a particular photograph.

In the picture, Kevin sat at a large desk, the FBI headquarters visible behind him. The caption below read, "Chief of FBI." And sitting beside him was his little sister, both of them dressed in official attire.

I was stunned. "W....what? Chief of FBI?" I stammered, my voice barely a whisper.

Lucy nodded, her eyes filled with a mix of awe and admiration. "He's more than just a grieving brother," she said.

I was speechless, my mind was spinning. The man I met, sad brother, had actually been the head of the FBI? The implications were staggering.

My eyes widened in surprise.

"Aren't you shocked?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Of course ! But why did he leave the FBI?" I questioned, my mind racing. "What is he doing here in this small town, in a small position so small than Chief of FBI?"

Lucy closed the album, her expression thoughtful. "That's what I've been wondering too," she replied.

"Do you know he is also a computer expert?"

"How do you know he's a computer expert?" I asked Lucy, curious.

"Alan told me," she replied, a knowing smile playing on her lips.

My interest was piqued. I had always wanted to learn more about computers, and Kevin seemed like the perfect mentor. The thought of learning from such a knowledgeable and experienced person was incredibly exciting.

Lucy glanced at her watch. "I have to go home now," she said.

I stopped her, taking her hands in mine. "You're a really good girl, Lucy," I said. "You're my dearest bestie."

She took a deep breath, a playful glint in her eye. "Stop the drama," she teased. "You want something from me, don't you?"

I smiled, showing my teeth. "You know me too well," I replied.

Lucy laughed. "Okay, what do you want?" she asked.

"Can you tell Kevin I want to learn some computer skills from him?" I asked, my heart pounding with excitement.
