THE ABANDONED MINE

"Why do you think like that?"

That question got him stunned. It seemed like he didn't expect that the girl beside him would catch his whisper. He seemed to forget that the girl was not just an ordinary human.

Jack stared at Blue with an unreadable gaze. Blue was unwavering and still gazing at him with the same gaze.

"Nevermind," Jack replied as he drew his gaze away from the young girl. "Let's go to another place." He then started the car engine.

Blue was still frowning at Jack. It looked like she was disappointed to hear that kind of response from Jack.

Even so, she decided to let the matter past and brought up a new subject. "There is an abandoned coal mine not far from here. We can go there and start our investigation," she stated as she fished out her phone from her pants pocket.

"There's a place like that here, but you didn't tell me earlier?" Jack asked in disbelief.
