Carl, who was driving, couldn't help but ask as he glanced at the rearview mirror, "Mr. Romeo, do we drop Rosemary off at school first, or?"
Romeo said, "Home first."
Rosemary countered, "School first."
They both spoke at the same time, then looked at each other.
"We're not sure about the identities and motives of those people yet. If you go to school, you might endanger the other students," Romeo said seriously. "Stay with me. I'll keep you safe."
Rosemary thought, 'Huh? Who was protecting whom just now?'
"Have our people found any information?" Romeo glanced at Carl, who was in the driver's seat.
Carl replied, "Nothing yet, but since they're already in our hands, even if they're mutes, they'll have to spill the beans."
