Leo Fane was under orders to protect Sophie Wexler. He'd been tailing her in secret recently, but just a little while ago, he'd managed to lose her.
He had clearly seen Miss Wexler enter a shop, but she never came back out.
She had simply vanished. More than two hours had passed, and he still hadn't found her.
Then, a commotion erupted over in Salencia, and he had gone to investigate. Some idiot had fired an Energy Gun in the city, causing massive damage. Luckily, there were no casualties. He only returned after dealing with the situation.
He decided to go check the Marshal's Residence.
'What if Miss Wexler still isn't back?'
Leo Fane's scalp prickled at the very thought.
The political situation with the various factions was so complex, and today, of all days, was the election assembly. If something happened to Miss Wexler on his watch, then he truly... he wouldn't know how to answer to the Marshal.
Leo Fane stood before the front door, just about to raise his hand to knock.
