A Scandalous Allegation

Matthew woke up to a splitting headache and a memory gap. He vaguely recalled getting wasted at his favourite club, but couldn't remember much of what happened afterwards.

Staggering towards the stable's exit, he collided into Mallory, who came rushing in, wearing a worried look on her face.

"Where is it?" She demanded first thing in the morning.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Matthew retorted, scratching the back of his head.

"My pendant! It was in the book! It isn't there anymore!" She alerted him.

Matthew clicked his tongue, "Calm down, it's way too early for all this shouting-"

"My grandfather gave me that! It's very special to me!" She cried out, "Did you see it?" She kept asking, leaving Matthew flustered.

He ran his fingers through his hair, trying to figure out what pendant she was talking about. It took him roughly about a minute to recall the image of the trinket she was 'moaning' about.

"Yeah, I've seen it."
