Hopeful Homicide

"Hello everyone!" The middle-aged chubby woman said. Her voice was loud yet pleasing to the ears. I described her as middle-aged, but now up close, there are only a few wrinkles on her face and they're almost unnoticeable. Maybe my assumption is incorrect and she's the same age but the vibe she gives says otherwise.

Siti gave her a stare while Toby looked at her with his smirk. I showed a smile. It felt a bit awkward and I think the smile I made might look half-hearted.

Her smile grew wider and felt a bit weirder, "Hello, how are you guys doing?"

With cuts, bruises, and a few scrape wounds, I was inclined to tell her that I was not doing great. Looking at Siti, I knew she felt the same. Thinking about this made me do a quick scan at Toby. He also has some scratches, still, compared to ours it was minimal.
