"Thank you." Anna smiled at the woman, quickly picking up her things, making sure to grab the small pouch of money and put it back into her purse first. After knowing that was safe, she breathed out a sigh of relief, realizing she was tense from the situation. If she was honest with herself, she'd say she had been tense for the past few days knowing her sister was gone. She swallowed up the sudden urge to start sobbing, swallowing back to tears from the sudden onslaught of emotions at the thought of her lost sister. She took a shakey breath, trying her best to get her feeling under control before she spoke again.<br/><br/>She cleared her throat, and smiled at the woman, feeling able to speak without her voice shaking. "My name is Anna. Anna Re-." the sound of a door slamming open interrupted her introduction and she jumped at the sudden sound. Her head jerked to the door and her eyes went wide at the gruff man that stood in the doorway. She blinked her eyes, a slight blush coming to her face at his words and she quickly grabbed the rest of her stuff, making sure to also grab the books that fell out of her purse titled with something similar to human anatomy, all seemingly stamped from what was the local library.<br/><br/>"I-I apologize for the mess. I'm honestly at a loss..." Her last few words were so soft as her voice faded, they probably didn't hear them as she busied herself grabbing her things. She quickly stood, smiling down at the secretary with a thankful expression before turning towards the man who stepped out. She hesitated under his gaze, fidgeting before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She mustered up all the courage she had before opening her eyes again, her body tensed and her eyes showing a swirl of emotions. She squeezed the purse to her chest but never took her eyes way from George as she finally spoke.<br/><br/>"My name is Anna Reed. I want to hire you to find out who... who killed my sister. I want you to find the Black Petal killer."
