The nurse opened the door and pushed the wheelchair into the room. Daphne was sitting on the kitanda and at the meza, jedwali there was an officer standing.
“I would like to ask your patient a few questions” he cut to the chase.
“I’m not sure my patient is physically au mentally strong enough to answer any” the doctor said, while entering the room.
“I feel fine” Cas mumbled.
“Well, wewe heard him. He’s peachy. Please leave the room” the officer alisema with a wave of his hand.
“I’m not going anywhere” Daphne alisema stubborn.
“That’s okay” the officer alisema with a smug look. He rotated his head to the doctor. “Is there some place where we can talk privately?”
Daphne let out a dramatic sigh and threw her arms in the air. “Alright, I’ll leave, but I’ll be right outside, so if wewe try to do anything to him…”
“Miss, I only want to ask him a few questions” the officer said. Daphne gave him a warning glance and shut the door behind her, after following the doctor and the nurse. “Nut job” the officer said. Cas quickly looked up. “It is not nice to speak evil about other people”
The officer ignored that and took a little notebook. “I had a nice little chat with Miss Allen while wewe were out. She told me some very interesting things” The officer looked up to see Cas’ face, but it looked straight. “But maybe wewe could tell me in your own words what happened?”
Cas coughed. “I was walking kwa the lake” he started, trying to sound convincing. “when two men came up to me and threatened me with…a gun”
“What did they want?” the officer asked while uandishi down.
“They wanted me to give them my money…and my clothes…and shoes” Cas alisema while his eyes flashed around the room.
“So wewe were robbed?” the officer asked.
“Yes” Cas sighed, relieved that the officer seemed to believe his story. “I was robbed” he alisema in confirmation.
“Then what happened?” the officer asked. “After they ordered wewe to give up all wewe had on you, what happened?”
“I did what they said” Cas alisema obvious. “I was…afraid”
“Okay” the officer said. “They just left wewe naked and robbed? No fight? No beating up?”
“Well, they did push me into the lake” Cas said. He frowned. “Is it over now? Will wewe now leave?”
“One zaidi question” the officer lifted his index. “How does Miss Allen fit in here?”
“She saw what was happening and came to my assistance” Cas quickly improvised. “But the robbers had run off already, so she doesn’t know who they were”
“Okay” the officer said. “I’ll leave it here. inayofuata time I see wewe wewe better have some ID on wewe au I’ll arrest you”
Cas swallowed and the officer left. Cas walked to the kitanda and crawled in it. The door went open and Daphne appeared. “How did it go?”
“I think he believed me” Cas said. “But I am not a hundred percent sure”
Daphne sat down on the bed. “I taxed my sister what she has to say to the police in case they want to talk to her”
Cas shook his head. “This isn’t right. I wasn’t robbed. wewe and your sister have nothing to do with this. I don’t want to involve wewe into something I don’t even understand myself” he said, sounding upset. Daphne leaned mbele and pressed her lips on his, something she had wanted to do ever since she had seen him.

The Hospital
The door of the examination room slammed open and doctor Fell looked up. “Would wewe mind waiting outside, please?”she alisema annoyed.
Tyler ignored her and walked straight to the bed.
“How are wewe feeling?” he asked worried.
“I’m okay” Veronica said. “Doctor Fell gave me a miracle drug. I’m as good as new”
Meredith shot her a warning glance.
“How did wewe know where I was?” Veronica wondered.
“Rachel told me” Tyler explained. “She told me Rebekah attacked you”
Veronica shook her head. “Actually it was Stefan” she said.
“Why would Stefan want to hurt you?” Tyler asked skeptic. “He doesn’t even know you”
“Neither does Rebekah” Veronica shrugged. “They know. They know that we’re going to try and take them down. We’re going to have to songesha fast”
“No, what wewe need to do is stay away from Rebekah” Tyler said. “I mean it, Ronnie, she’s dangerous”
“So am I” Veronica alisema sharp.
