    Arabe strolled into the living room of Reflections Vi, finding Lucas and Beverlyfortably


    ensconced on the couch, sipping tea and sharingughs with her parents.

    "Hey, Be," Beverly''s features, always graced with an aristocratic warmth, softened into a weing


    smile at the sight of Arabe.


    "What''s up sote? Aunt Beverly, Uncle Lucas, you needed to see me?" Arabe settled into an


    armchair opposite them, an aura of authority emanating from her rxed posture.


    Beverly returned the smile, gentle as ever, "Recently, some trouble befell the family businesses, and all


    clues pointed to someone known as ''Stinger''. Tonight, we found out you''ve nabbed him. Is that the


    case?"


    Arabe''s lips curved into a slight smirk, "You both are well-informed, indeed. Yes, he''s with me."


    "Would you mind turning him over to us? We''re eager to find out why he did that," Beverly''s voice was


    soft, almost as if coaxing a child.


    "Why indeed?" Arabe mused, a yful edge to her tone. "Don''t you already know?"


    Both Lucas and Beverly were taken aback, clearly puzzled by the insinuation.


    Tension suddenly crackled in the air.


    "Be, I''m not sure I follow." Lucas said with a congenial smile, his face a picture of benevolence.


    "I''m just as clueless, just repeating what Stinger told me," Arabe maintained her smile.


    Lucas, still smiling, prodded further, "And what exactly did Stinger tell you?"


    "Not much yet, you arrived so soon," Arabe''s smile didn''t reach her eyes as she added, "Seems like


    you''re quite concerned about Stinger."


    "Of course, he''s thrown mypanies into chaos. I''m at my wit''s end; I just want to get to the bottom of


    it," Lucas said, clearly agitated.


    "Stinger''s caught up in an investigation of mine. Once I wrap that up, I''ll hand him over," Arabe stood,


    signaling the end of the conversation.


    "How about we just ask him a few questions, then he''s all yours?" Beverly proposed, a hint of


    negotiation in her voice.


    "No can do," Arabe replied with a lightugh, "I know how eager you are, so I''ll get right on the


    interrogation and hand him over as soon as possible."


    Beverly opened her mouth to protest but thought better of it, falling silent.


    Lucas watched Arabe leave, his expression unreadable.


    "Be''s always been headstrong; there''s no stopping her," Keh chimed in, offering them more tea


    with a cheery smile. "She''s always had her own way of doing things."


    Beverly smiled diplomatically, "Be''s quite the prodigy, agile and sharp."


    But when Uriah himself rified that he was the one who taught Arabe her moves, well, that''s a


    different story.  Draмanоvеls


    After exchanging pleasantries for a while longer, Lucas and Beverly finally nced at the clock striking


    half-past eleven and rose to take their leave.


    "We won''t keep you any longer," Beverly said with a gracious smile. "You should get some rest."


    "Right, right, you too, head off and get some sleep," Louisa said, walking them to the front door.
