Chapter 343: Was it a man or woman?

Scarlet’s gaze locked onto the position of the individual identified by Severus as ’the one.’ She noticed the portly man first, he stood out because of his large size, the rolls of fat in his stomach which bounced as he laughed and his long messy ginger beard. His look was quite an unusual one on the Blue star, the Sun star in fact as people cared about their appearance in this universe. Standing next to him was a woman, a tall thin willowy blonde who was wearing a long dull grey dress.

In her arms was a child, a little boy with an unruly mope of curly blonde hair. He was eating pink cotton candy with his bare hands and smacking his lips loudly.

She assumed that this was a couple, and they were mother, father and son.

"Alex, identify the family." she communicated with her bracelet AI.

"Yes mistress." the AI responded.

She looked at the couple again, and this time round, they looked right back at her. This was to be expected because her presence had been noticed by many people around and they had stopped to stare, whisper and take pictures of her. On the Blue star, their was no celebrity bigger than the governor and everywhere she went, the citizens stopped and stared in adoration. It did not matter to them if they saw her face on a daily basis, every day was a new day to admire her looks or outfits and sing her praises.

Tion and the other guards were stopping people from approaching her unnecessarily but the crowd was becoming larger and nosier by the second.

"We should leave now." Tion told her.

"Not before I speak to them." she replied seriously.

For a minute, Tion thought that she meant the crowd of adoring citizens and he looked around worriedly. He sent a request to the RGB for additional back up in case this turned into an unlicensed rally.

"Governor can we take a picture with you."

"Lady governor you look so amazing."

"I am going to name my baby after you lady governor."

The random noise got louder and Scarlet begun to worry that she might lose the suspects. As of now, she assumed that the portly man was the possibly the pricker. Professor Sham had said it confidently; the suspect was a man.

"Female identified as Bibi Alistair, male Tony Alistair and the child Caleb Alistair." She heard Alex’s voice as he shared the identities of the family.

"Family relation." she said questioningly.

"Siblings." Alex told her.

"Oh." she gasped. Well that was unexpected and also presumptuous of me, she thought.

"Are you sure Severus?" she asked, choosing to be cautious before levying a heavy accusation at the siblings.

"Yes, this almighty hound lord is never wrong." Severus assured her.

Since she knew who they were and Severus had reassured her, now was the time to approach them.

"Get me there." she pointed to the path.

Tion stepped forward, carving out a path for her by politely but sternly asking the citizens to make way. Severus too barked quite harshly, scaring away those who intended to come close to her.

As she moved, Scarlet spared a smile and waved at the citizens she governed but she did not pause for pictures or respond to the calls of her name. She only accepted a small yellow flower from a little boy who could not have been older than four.

This was one of the yellow flowers outside the shield which enclosed the park and it was a misdemeanor to pluck a single one of them. She made a note to remind the park attendants and officers who manned the park about this.

If they overlooked one child taking a single flower, then it might turn into a case of ten children plucking flowers and how long until the ten children became one hundred? In no time, the flowers would be picked clean like hairless chicken.

With these thoughts in mind, she soon found herself directly face to face with the Alistair’s. With a calm smile on her face she stopped and greeted them.

"Hello there." she said.

It was no surprise to her when she saw the looks of surprise and wonder on their faces. Not once had she stopped to greet anyone but she stopped to greet them!!!! They had not even waved at her or done anything to call attention to themselves.

"Hi, hi, hello." Bibi responded nervously.

One of her hands slipped and she almost dropped the little boy in her hands. Up close, Scarlet noticed that he was not so little, and she judged him to be around eight years old. However, he appeared to be small for his age.

"Lady governor." Tony said, politely but uncomfortably. He even stepped back further putting a small distance between himself and her.

She acknowledged his greeting with a nod of her head and smiled at the little boy. "Hello little one."

"He is not little." Severus said.

"I know that." she told him. But again, in a world where people lived to three hundred, eight was a drop in the bucket and the boy qualified to be little.

Scarlet had already come up with a strategy on how to get this family to follow her somewhere private.

"You are Bibi, a seamstress from the old factory." She said.

The woman gasped and her eyes widened in shock. "Lady governor, you know who I am!"

Scarlet smiled at her and said, "Of course, you made one of the gowns which was presented to me for the christmas carols gathering. Your hands are quite dexterous, I found the hand stitching quite impeccable which is very rare in such times. Please, walk with me and tell me about your skills and how you acquired them."

Like the big bad fox she led Bibi the innocent red riding hood and the child away while Tion glared at Tony which forced the man to follow them, albeit unwillingly.

"I learned from miss Sharon lady governor, I was just lucky that that I picked up the skill very quickly. I want to open up my own dress shop in the middle months so I have been practicing daily, night and day." Bibi explained.

She even went ahead to show Scarlet the calluses on her fingers and needle marks which were yet to fade away.

"I am not bragging but these marks are a sign of honor to me, like the scars which mecha warriors refuse to get treated after battles. When Bibi’s dresses becomes a household name in future, I will show the people these marks if they have not yet faded." She said with pride.

These marks surprisingly resembled those of the victims who had been pricked in the mall. She had them on her hands and the parts of her arms which she could see.

Scarlet’s mind started to travel and she started to wonder if Bibi was actually the pricker of the Blue star. Could the criminal be a woman and not a man?
