"It… It's Hook! He gave us money to cause trouble at Mr Herbert's place this afternoon!" the leader of the trio said with a slight stutter

Kieran's sharp senses picked up so odd about Herbert when the name Hook was mentioned

"What about hiht-hand man of Chief Officer Calkin!" Herbert said

"The chief of police?" Kieran was stunned

"No, no, no… He is the leader of a ssters around the station I took a trip at Herl City once and caht hih, he never dared causehis head

"So this could be Hook's ht also be about"

Herbert did not finish his sentence, but Kieran knehat he was going to say

It was about the expedition to Isogu City

So, and froathered, there were oal

Coh, Kieran was uardians, who had blown up Herbert's books and house

"What happened during the explosion? How did you get out?" he asked Herbert

"I was preparing the files for Isogu City, when suddenly a pain struck my neck and I passed out! I still have no idea who it was or what they looked like!" Herbert said with a bitter so have a look!" Kieran pointed at the burning house
