Gill shook out the damp, sour–smelling rag in her hand and moved toward Elsie’s face. <b>Owen </b><b>quickly </b>pulled Elsie <b>behind </b>him and shouted, “Are you crazy?”
all looked Owen up and down. “Dressed all nice, but can’t even talk properly? Who told you to barge in here with
looking? I’m not here to serve you.”
Then she turned and went back to wiping the toner cartridge
Owen stood there, disgusted by the toner all over him but unwilling to argue with her. He said coldly, “There was a girl here with a scar on her face. Where is she?
Gill replied, “You came here to look for someone?”
“Is there a problem?” Owen shot back.
Gill put down her <b>rag </b>and walked over<b>, </b>tugging at Owen’s sleeve and pulling him toward the door. She pointed to the clinic sign above. “Can you read? Virtue Hall. This is a <b>clinic</b>, not <b>a </b>shelter. Got it?”
Owen’s face turned red with anger. “Then at least tell me where she went.”
“She tried to scam my boss and failed, so she left,” Gill said.
Elsie rugged on Owen’s sleeve, <b>and </b>he finally calmed down. “Then where’s your boss?”
A <b>voice </b>came from behind the screen. “If you’re here forpensation, call the police and file a report. We’ll pay whatever they decide,”
Someone was behind the screen? Owen took a step forward, but Gill stopped him. “Hey! Don’t you have manners? Our boss doesn’t <b>meet </b>people. If you go <b>in</b>, I’ll report you for harassment.”
Owen stopped. Paul had mentioned the owner was a burn victim <b>and </b>didn’t show her <b>face</b>.
Owen said respectfully, Tm the brother of the girl <b>who </b>came earlier with the prescription. We’re not <b>selling </b>it anymore. However much you paid, I’ll give you double to buy it back.”
The voice behind the screen replied, “What prescription? I never saw anything.”
Owen noticed <b>the </b>voice was slurred, probably because of damaged muscles from the burris.
He said sternly<b>. </b><b>“</b>You’re trying to keep our prescription?”
The voice said calmly, “Like I said–call the police. If you win,e back and talk.”
“You!” Owen started.
Elsie tugged at him, shaking her head anxiously. They had no proof. If the other side denied it, there was <b>nothing </b>they could. do. Elsie couldn’t stand <b>the </b>toner on her. She begged, “Let’s go clean up first. I don’t <b>want </b>anyone to see me like this…”
Owen had no choice but to re at the screen and warn, <b>“</b>I’ll be <b>back</b>”
As the two of them left, Gill dusted her feather duster and muttered sarcastically, “Reek of fake sweetness. <b>Bad </b>luck.”
Owen was fuming, <b>but </b>Elsie pulled at <b>his </b>arm. People on the street were <b>already </b>staring at her. She wished she could disappear
Owen had <b>no </b>choice but to get in the car
As soon as they got in. Elir pulled out <b>a </b>wet wipe to clean Owen’s face. But the toner <b>wouldn’t </be <b>off </b>that easily.

Else tried tofort him. She still has Dad’s books and notes. That pain relief recipe isn’t the only one. Even if it’s gone, it’s not a big deal”
Owen <b>stayed </b>quiet. The most important thing now was finding Yunice.
But Elsie frowned and said, “I think the real priority is figuring out how to wash this stuff off our faces.”
Owen didn’t respond
Hack at Virtue Hall

I <b>will </b>
take at least two days to wash off!”
Yunice sat calmly in a high backed chair, thinking that Owen probably didn’t suspect this ce belonged to her anymore. Now, the only way Owen could <b>track </b>her was through the obl phone <b>that </b>used to belong to <b>Elsie</b>,
But unfortunately for him, she had set it to take GPS locations. That phone <b>was </b><b>“</b>moving all over the city now. Let him chase it
Sure enough, Owen got yed for three days and couldn’t find her at all.
Yumice thought it would stay <b>quiet </b>like this, <b>but </b>to her surprise, Elsie showed up again. <b>And </b>she wasn’t alone. She brought Taylor with her. The two of them walked in in arm. Yumice and Gill were both stunned.
Gill’s jaw nearly dropped. “The mistress and the side chick became besties?
