I looked up from the newspaper, to see my Dad standing right in front of me. He was smiling but something about it seemed strained. Or maybe I was just imagining it because of the voice…657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROycup1l5t

“Is everything all right, Amy?”657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkwZHExi4P

“Yes…” I said mechanically. “It’s just…”657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSuIAgrFl
657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc9QCBVQ6n
I poured out the latest developments of the case, quite forgetting that my Dad must have read it already. He listened patiently with amused eyes, only speaking when I was done.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFmw3UINJ0

“No…But the Inspector buys the theory.” I said, half angrily. “He said that there’s no doubt in his mind that Pinky had a role to play in this case. At least the newspaper says he said so.”657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90B8KQsZRn

I looked at him, expecting him to comment but no. He simply turned away, a curiously blank expression on his face.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAdXHzEZDS

“Are you worried about something?”657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcUhxyoKYI

He turned around swiftly. “Why do you ask that?”657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwuuL3HDzW

I was quite taken aback by the sharpness of his reponse. Too taken aback to formulate a reply. Although I did not want to admit it, I was scared too. Scared to think about the voice meant…Scared to think about the sudden change in my Dad’s attitude.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VBpTT7dz9

“I just felt so…” I said quickly.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuNIohZ8Nz

I smiled a little but I couldn’t help but notice the stiffness of his voice. Before I could ask anything else, he disappeared into his bedroom. He didn’t come out again till it was time to drive me to school.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm667MWxMm0

Dad was unusually silent all the way. I opened my mouth various times to talk but…somehow I couldn't bring myself to. It was as if he had put up a wall around himself.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH66YXbuzax

I saw the police car parked outside the school just as Dad stopped the car by the gate. Standing next to it was a ferocious looking man with narrow bloodshot eyes. If he hadn’t been in police uniform I would have thought he was some sort of gangster. He looked straight at us when we got out. I saw him stiffen and his eyes, if that were even possible, narrowed.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyJ768l3ez

I wanted to move away but Dad seemed rooted to the spot. His eyes were fixed on the policeman who was quickly making his way towards us.657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg2ciBu1Ui

“Tony…” The policeman glared at him. “Why are you here?”657Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacdJopyoTN
