Yes.


    Mr.


    Pierce seems to have sustained a minor arm injury, nothing too serious,” Dotson replied.


    As they approached, Maloney, his shirt stained with blood, grumbled, “And what do you mean by ‘nothing too serious’? You’re all unscathed, and here I am, injured! Miss Moore’s beau shows no sympathy, I tell you.


    ”


    Dotson scratched his head.


    “It’s just a scratch.


    We’ve had worse during training.


    It’s truly nothing serious.


    ”


    They congregated, exchanging light banter.


    “I’m sorry.


    It’s all my fault,” Gracemented.


    “If not for me, Maloney wouldn’t have been hurt.


    ”


    Maloney turned, offering a reassuring smile.


    “It’s not your fault.


    Protecting you is my duty.


    Just a jest.


    ”


    Noting Hannah’s absentmindedness, Bryson approached her with concern.

    “Are you truly alright?”


    Hearing his query, Grace hurried over.


    “With so much happening, are you hurt, Hannah?”


    “I’m fine.


    ” Hannah raised her hand, intending to tousle Grace’s hair, but her aim was off.


    It appeared that the position she sensed with her ears was slightly off.


    Bryson observed Hannah’s odd behavior, on the verge of saying something, when the police rushed in.


    Spotting the injured, they directed the girls and the wounded Maloney to the waiting ambnce outside.


    Bryson and Dotson, unharmed, remained to provide statements.


    Bryson reassured Hannah, “I’ll pick you from the hospital once things are sorted here.


    ”


    Hannah nodded faintly in his direction, then was led away by Grace.


    In the ambnce, medical staff tended to Maloney’s wound.


    Hannah lowered her gaze, maintaining silence.


    She didn’t know the nature of the substance the assant had thrown at her.


    Though she was notpletely blind, she could only discern a foggy halo before her.


    In the dimness, she felt utterly sightless.


    Breaking the silence, Maloney interjected, “Hey, Hannah.

    Where’s my ‘thank you’?”


    “Thank you,” Hannah replied tly.


    Maloney faltered, then withdrew something from his pocket.


    “Got this off them.


    It seems to be something incriminating.


    Recognize it?”


    He extended his hand to Hannah, who reached out slowly at the sound of his voice.
