I shake my head. "But I doubt I'm the only person to have left. We don't always stay in the house. We left to go to school and work. It would have been relatively easy for someone to slip away if they really wanted to." It probably wasn't as easy to stay away given my recent experiences, but that's another matter.
"True. But those people aren't coming forward."
"Probably because the kids all think they're human. I had no idea I was a reaper until a few months ago."
"Even though you could see ghosts?"
Heat flares to my cheeks. Now I know what I do, it is kind of obvious. "Yes, despite that."
"Interesting." From the expression on her face, I suspect she really does find it so.
"What do you need from me?" I ask, taking a guess that it's something or she wouldn't be giving me the whole spiel.
"We need your testimony. Everything you can remember about the Association. How it's run, how many people live there, any names you can recall..."
"What if I forget to tell you something?" I don't want to be the reason a case doesn't stick.
"We'll set up interviews where we can work through what yo

"That sounds good."
"I'm glad. But you should rest first. I'll be in touch and we can set up the first interview."
"Thank you." I appreciate the chance to get back to the academy and enjoy some time with my friends before I have to delve into all of that. I guess it's not as urgent as my recollection of my kidnapping as it's already in the past.
As if called by the mention of rest, a loud yawn escapes from me.
Mathias is on his feet instantly. "We should get you back to the academy."
I nod. "That would be nice."
Home sounds good. Perfect, actually. I can work out the rest later.
