Trenton Smith had someone lock down the highways and railways, and the news quickly reached Maple Swallow's ears.
After putting his daughter to bed, he hurriedly got up and changed his clothes.
Just as Ava had lain down, she noticed his unusual expression and approached to fasten the buttons of his suit jacket, whispering, "Honey, what happened?"
Maple leaned down and kissed his little wife's cheek, then said gently, "Treton has stirred up a bit of trouble, I'm going out to check on it."
Ava's eyelids drooped, her tone a bit sad: "Is it because of Sister Moore's incident..."
It had been almost four months since Norris Moore's accident, and Ava herself still hadn't completely accepted the fact that she had died, let alone Trenton Smith, who had been Norris's lover.
Maple's eyes darkened for a moment; the news he had just received from someone else included something about Norris Moore.
