(Lin's POV)

I exited my car once I had parked it in the parking lot next to the SPR vans. I grabbed my jacket and climbed the stairs that lead to the office door. Looking at my watch I opened the door and walked in, as I did I heard the others talking in the main room. I then walked to my office and set my jacket down on the desk, when I heard my office door open and close. I turned around only to come face to face with Madoka, as I looked at her I could tell that she was angry and that an argument was about to start.

"What the hell was that earlier? Why did you tell me that is none of my business?" She said as she placed her hands on her hip.

I responded in a monotone voice, "Madoka you have no right to ask who I talk to our relationship ended two months after we returned to England with Eugene's body. You know that you're the one that broke it off and I agreed to it and I am fine with it so don't ask me questions that you have no right to ask. Now please leave my office, I have to put some things away." I turned my back to as I finished talking, and started to clean the shelf off so I could put my books there.

"Ugh!" She shouted as she walked out of my office slamming the door. It was then that I realized that once she took a step into my office all the talking from the rest of the group stopped. I quickly finished cleaning and putting away my items in the proper places when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said as I placed the last book on the shelf. This time when I turned around there stood Noll. "What is it Noll?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to inform you that tomorrow we are having a meeting with a client, and to be prepared for anything. Also can you make me some tea?" Noll said and I acknowledged what he was saying and as I nodded my head, agreeing that I will make him some tea. Soon after I shook my head, he left the room to go back to his office. Knowing that Noll would like to have his tea as soon as possible I exited my office and headed towards the small kitchenette noting that the others had left already. I then proceeded to make his tea, taking note that there was some Earl Gray on the counter I grabbed it and put in a cup as I waited for the water to boil. Once it was boiled I poured some water into the cup and let it seep, I placed the kettle on a warmer and took the cup to Noll. I knocked on the door and waited till I heard him say, "Enter." After entering his office I placed the cup down on his desk and turned to walk out of the room when Noll said, "Why didn't you tell me you heard her confession when we were at the lake?"

"I didn't tell you because I thought you would tell me on your own, but you never did. Did you know that I only got one email from Mai, and that was almost a year after we Returned to England, in the email she told me that the others had abandoned her after they said they wouldn't. She also gave a hint that her powers had grown and she was hopping to get help, but I never received another email from her saying if she was alright or not." I said as I turned to look at him while I crossed my arms across my chest. I watched as his face slightly drained of color and his eyes widened at hearing her powers had grown and that the others abandoned her.

"Why didn't she contact me?" Noll asked as he waited for me to respond.

"She probably didn't want to bother you, she probably thought that you would just consider it troublesome. Or she could have still been heart broken and didn't want to talk to you because of what you said to her. Who knows why she didn't get in contact with you?" I said as I watched him nod his head and then look down at his desk and wave his hand as if dismissing me. I then turned and left his office as I noticed that it was time to close shop and head home. I then turned and poked my head in Noll's office and said, "Noll it is time to close up and head home. See you tomorrow."
