Instead, she opened the file and began to read as they walked. What she read wasn't particularly interesting, but it was new to her and any clue as to who Riley was would help. She hadn't realized the girl was adopted, but did that make a difference. If anything, it was a new avenue to pursue. Perhaps there was more information on her birth parents? Maybe Riley ran away to find them? She closed the file as Declan talked. [color=D61A66]"The one day I decide to leave it at home. Go figure. Walking suits me then. The file I grabbed talks about Riley's family. Turns out she was adopted and there's no mention of her birth parents. Maybe she ran away to go find them?"[/color] Soon, Declan grabbed her hand again. She mentally punched the blush that wanted to quickly spread to her cheeks, but he let go midway through. She then mentally punched herself for feeling sad about that. Then she heard voices. It was the deputies. She didn't feel like being harassed at this moment and considering they were coming from the Town Hall, she figured they would ask them questions and she didn't have time. [color=D61A66]"Crap, quick, let's get in the bushes."[/color] She would grab Declan's hand again (feelings be damned!) and quickly hid in the bushes they were closest to and hid among the treeline. [color=D61A66]"They would ask us needless questions or just harass us on my reputation alone and I don't have the patience for that right now."[/color]
