"Krista!"
Conrad didn't understand why but the name tore out of his throat like a reflex. It even made the head nurse Elsa flinch.
"Oh, my…"
She had one hand over her chest as she tilted her head in confusion.
"Do you perhaps know her?"
Elsa asked but Connie was too focused on the sudden appearance and retreat of the girl he once considered a teammate.
He turned toward the door, his body already coiling to sprint after her. However, before he could make it out, Elsa stepped in his way.
"Wait! We're not done. You need to know more about my standing with the Fitzroy family. There are things—"
"I don't care"
Connie's reply came really fast but he immediately regretted that decision and changed his answer.
"Sorry, not right now. I have to do some catching up with an old friend"
In a world of assassins, information was a vital resource. Elsa was freely offering it to him so who was he to refuse that?
But right now, it wasn't the time for it. He had to catch up with Krista.
