When the officer tries to get closer to Eris, I come between them and block the officer's view of Eris.

"Come on respectful officer, it is not the first time to see someone injured badly because of a work incident? Since the living cost in this city is quite expensive, my friend is thinking of going back to the suburb for a while."

"Still, your friend should take off some of the bandages so I can see clearly of your friend's face." Order the officer.

"The thing is, the doctor advises to cover off for a while, and it's an honestly unpleasant view, with some open fleshes and rotten meat. I beg you to give us our leniency. For a change, I will give you something that might give you a promotion." I try to divert his interest.

"Huh!? What could it be?" The officer is taking my bait. I signal him to get closer and give me his ear.

"You must know all members of Stein's family, right? People might not know about this, but Jill who is one of the youngest sons died two days ago. Jack, his husband is trying to leave the city soon. I believe, any of Jill's brothers won't be happy if that happened and would give a reward for anyone who can inform about this sudden news and catch Jack."

The officer looks a bit taken aback. He was a little suspicious of the veracity of this information, he doesn't want to anger any Steins family members if it turns into wrong information.

" Officer, you know our identity, I won't tell you a lie. Furthermore, you can check it first by visiting Jack&Jill auction shop, whether you can find Jill inside." Ensure me. When the officer is considering my advice, I hurry him a little.

"You don't want someone else to take the credit, Let us leave this passage now so you can check my information, please?"

"Got it, I warn you if you dare to give a false rumor, I will find all of you and make you regret it." Said the officer. He let us pass the investigation room and left us in a hurry.

Finally, we're able to pass the Houzz exit gate, outside the city. At Clyde station, the three of us confer for a while. Officially, Rowan and I want to take a cart ride back to Cordville. Looking back on what happened in Houzz, Rowan plans to steal the headmaster's valuable suit. He doesn't leave out with so many options after all. Eris, surprisingly insist to go to district 31, she said that since she is already here in the Dallas district, she wants to check something in that area. People need to pass Cordville if they want to go to district 31. Again, I offer her our help, this one-sided decision makes Rowan a bit in a bad mood. Even though he's angry, Rowan still succumbs to my request. Since it's a bit risky to use a cart ride when we go around with Eris, we decide to go back to Cordville on foot. We predict that the journey will take us one whole day. Without further ado, the three of us started our journey back to cordville. Sometimes the terrain is quite heavy but Eris can keep up with our phase without difficulty. We agree to take a 20-minute rest after every 2 hours of walking. On the first stop, I tried to talk with Eris more. There are so many questions that I want to ask.
