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…993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv2WYwxdex

“Is everything all right, Amy?”993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY7EHDRukl

“Yes…” I said mechanically. “It’s just…”993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIjLPpQXLp

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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdFUaIsBWD

“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.”993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1FjyMoADk

I looked at him, expecting him to comment but no. He simply turned away, a curiously blank expression on his face.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nmDvrtCzy

“Are you worried about something?”993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtMd1ecLpb

He turned around swiftly. “Why do you ask that?”993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdnczqLSVh

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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOqmkpQ16p

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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLc1rD1Our

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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio9tGdjB41

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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGCP8oDgtG

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.993Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt7TzwUgfv
