Now after some time to think, he reminds you of your former friend Wilvy just much older and... alive. You cannot be sure until you hear his last name though. “It’s always so terrible to meet under these circumstances, but seeing you again is always a silver lining.”
“Judge Middleton! A pleasure indeed! You read the files already? As well prepared as always!” Vanessa is pleasantly surprised by the Judge’s effort. “We’re counting on you to deliver swift justice!”
Middleton? That’s the clue you need…!
…You’ve realized you can’t remember Wilvy’s last name. Perhaps you were all terrible friends to each other and not only one way. You use your Knowledge Lv 4 to sink into deeper research inside your brain and have realized that Wilvy’s last name is, in fact, Middleton! And that you’re an asshole for forgetting! Hooray for stats!
“Captain, allow me to introduce you to Detective Dale Wright, he works for the SCI, he was sent by the City’s Central Headquarters to ensure my safety.”
SCI is the Security Committee of Investigation, another police/security branch. Frankly you don’t know the big difference between them and regular policemen, aside from them not doing grunt work.
“Wright.” There’s disdain in Vanessa’s voice.
“Lieutenant Zullekom.” Mr. Wright smirks like a… dickhead. Just like Double Dick! This is Richard’s father, the one who died under mysterious reasons! Or, you think they are. You can’t recall. You just remember that dick laughing his ass off at your mom exploding.
“It’s <span class="mu-i">van Zullekom</span>, Wright.” Vanessa corrects him.
“My mistake.” Wright smiles at her annoyance.
“You two are well acquainted? How surprising.” Judge Middleton didn’t know about their past together.
“We’ve exchanged pleasantries before, yes.” Wright has an annoying uber positive tone in his voice. “We’re old pals from her city days.”
