Once Turner saw Luna, he cursed internally as he saw the look of disapproval in her eyes. He was busted.
"Turner, what did I tell you about having interviews with students?"
Luna had told Turner a while back not to carry out these interviews with the students because it would only make the students tense. If Turner wanted to carry out any interview, then he had to ask her first and get her permission before going ahead.
Turner was about to straight-up lie about the interrogation, but he knew that it would be pointless. Instead, he simply shrugged. This timing was too perfect for it to be a simple coincidence. Was Luna waiting out here for me to finish with Arit?
Turner was sure that Luna didn't have any business on this side of the school at this time, so her coming to this side of the school had to be because of him.
Luna was the leader of the investigation, so whatever she said was law as far as the investigation was concerned. Him going behind her back for this interrogation was like undermining her authority.
Turner quickly spoke up.
"You weren't available, and I felt having the interview as soon as possible was important, so I made do. Sorry."
"An apology is not enough, Turner. This is not how we are carrying out the investigation. You had an interview yesterday without my consent, and I overlooked it because I understand you are desperate to prove yourself, but this will be the last time. Is that understood?"
Turner was surprised that Luna knew about the interview he had with Maria yesterday. The truth was that Maria and Arit were the only two students that Turner had interviewed in the school. They were the only ones that provided any significant leads in the investigation.
Arit was the last person who was seen with the two victims before they were killed, and Maria said that she was with Arit during the time of the killing. It was very important to have an interview with both of them.
"No, there isn't. I just want to apologize for the interview. Turner can be a bit too responsible sometimes, so he tends to go out of his way to do things like this. I hope he didn't give you too much trouble?"
Arit shook her head.
"No, he didn't do anything bad. It was just some questions, so it's fine." Chapter Continue:
Luna nodded, and the both of them descended into silence as Luna tried to think about something to say. Luna was not a shy person, but she just felt uncomfortable talking to Arit after everything that she had done with Mark. Did Mark tell Arit that I kissed him? No, she doesn't look like she recognizes me at all. I don't think Mark told her.
Or maybe Mark told her about the kiss but she just doesn't know that I am the woman he told her about?
Luna eventually decided that she would ask Arit about something she was genuinely interested in knowing about.
"So, I hear you are Mark Vanitas' girlfriend."
Arit's eyes narrowed defensively.
"Yes, I am. Is there an issue with that?"
Luna shook her head. Arit response threw Luna off guard a little, but Luna just guessed that Arit was used to people asking about Mark, and she was now guarded against those questions. But even though Arit was guarded, that did not warrant the amount of hostility that Arit was currently showing to Luna.
Arit was hostile to Luna for a different reason entirely. Ever since Arit ran into Luna in the hallway, Arit was able to immediately tell that Luna was the one that she smelled on Mark the previous day The repulsive female smell that Mark had on his uniform was an exact match for the cologne that Luna used. That meant that Luna was the one who touched Mark.
And now Luna was also asking about Mark? Arit couldn't hide her hostility even if she tried!
