Back in Blenheim City.
Having experienced a series of events just now, Ronald actually felt he was in great spirits.
He didn't plan on waiting until tomorrow either.
Heading straight in the direction of Nicole's home, he walked over decisively.
The night was Ronald's best disguise, and the regular night patrol officers had no chance of spotting him moving through the darkness.
It took just over a quarter of an hour, and he arrived at Nicole's house.
Looking at the unchanged little house in front of him, Ronald was momentarily stunned.
"..."
"Could it be... she's not here?"
Not far ahead, Nicole's little house was pitch-black.
Ronald knew Nicole's habits, and at this hour, the investigator girl definitely wouldn't be in bed sleeping.
If nothing unexpected had occurred.
Tonight, Nicole should have been on patrol duty for the Investigation Bureau.
