Anything For Her

Chapter 27 Kneel

“Yes, I am. Who are you?”

This girl looks really pretty. There’s no way I would forget her if I had seen her before…

“My name is Sophie.”

Not wanting to waste too much time here nor reveal her identity to him, she stood up and continued nonchalantly, “You guys are tracking down Dr. Yarren’s whereabouts, right? I’ll give it a try.”

Eustace couldn’t help but frown when he heard that.

“Missy, you should get back to class if you’re bored. I’m really busy, so I don’t have time for your silly games!”

He had been so stressed out over Dr. Yarren’s case that he hadn’t slept well in a month, so he really wasn’t in the mood for games.

“I said, I can help you out, Captain Sheppard!” Sophie was starting to lose her patience.

“Missy—”

“You desperately need to find Dr. Yarren, don’t you? What harm is there in letting me have a shot?”

Eustace had assumed she was just another troublemaker at first, but changed his mind when he saw the determined look in her eyes.

“All right, then. Come with me!” Eustace said as he led her to the technical department.

The technicians had been working day and night for a month, but were still unable to track down Dr. Yarren.

“Captain Sheppard!” a few of them greeted Eustace upon seeing him before getting back to work.

As Dr. Yarren’s life could be in danger, it was of utmost importance that they find him as soon as possible.

“You there, get up,” Sophie told one of the technicians.

“Go play somewhere else, missy. I’m busy over here,” the technician replied without even looking at her.

“Get up!”

As it was Eustace ordering him this time, the technician had no choice but to do as told.
