Chapter 253:

So Angry!

When we arrived at Rose’s shop, the curtains were closed and nobody seemed to be around. I tried the door and was able to open it, so I called out, “Good afternoon, ma’am?”

“What’re ya doin’, hon? Hurry on in!” Rose’s voice sounded. I breathed a little sigh of relief and stepped into her store.

“Hello again,” Druid said, following behind and shutting the door tightly. The weather today was much chillier than the day before. The sun was out, but we just couldn’t shake off the chill.

“Come on over here where it’s warm.”

We followed her voice to a spot filled with all sorts of heating devices like the ones we’d seen back at the inn. Tableau, captain of the village watch, sat beside them.

“Thanks for making time to see us today, sir,” Druid said with a little bow. I nervously followed suit.

“Oh, well, I just came here today because my mother said she needed help with something… So, what do you need? Fair ­warning, sometimes there are things I can’t help with.”

I wasn’t sure why, but there was a stiffness in his voice. Did he suspect us of something? Druid smiled awkwardly in reply, and Rose frowned in deep disapproval.

“Tableau, they want you to help them process somethin’,” Rose grumbled.

We “want him to help us process somethin’”? That…seemed like a questionable way of phrasing it.

“Process something?” Captain Tableau shot Druid a dubious look.

“Yes. There’s something we need processed under the table. Can you do it for us?”

Now Druid was using cryptic language as well. And the words under the table, at that. That might make Tableau think we were up to something illegal. He seemed to be suspicious of us already, too. I risked a glance at him and… Ack! As I feared, he’d gotten the wrong impression.

“Are you asking me to abet you in a crime?” Tableau asked.

Druid smiled innocently back. Rose remained silent. Were they acting like this on purpose? But…why?

“Because I won’t lend aid to anyone doing a crime.”

The sound of his voice and the look in his eyes were scaring me. I found myself scooting back a couple of paces. I still didn’t understand why he’d seemed to suspect us from the very beginning—he’d acted normal around us the last time we met him. Had we done something during the past few days that put a mark on us?

“It’s about red magic stones. Won’t you at least hear us out?” Druid stared hard at Captain Tableau, studying him carefully.

Why is he treating us with such suspicion? I just don’t get it… I looked at Rose. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was staring at the floor. Wait a minute, is she trying not to laugh?

“No matter what dire straits you are in, I will never abet a criminal… If that’s what you brought me here to talk about, then I’ll be on my way!” Captain Tableau turned to leave.

“Ha ha ha! My stupid son!” Rose’s laughter boomed through the shop. “Okay, who got to ya this time?”

Captain Tableau looked at her in surprise.
