As the testimonies from the abused girls have resurfaced in the investigation, Edward soon found out the reason why they were rescued earlier than they had planned.
“This is travesty, Edward, why did you have to get involved this early in the stage of the operation! I HAVE EVERYTHING HANGING ON YOU! IF THEY SUSPECT YOU, I CAN’T PROTECT YOU HERE!” The commissioner of the operation violently trashed his office revealing his frustrations in the solving of the case.
Edward knew as well that prematurely revealing that case to the public will cause the mafia to stand guard more, with smaller chances to get more people in to infiltrate.
“I’m sorry, sir. I became enraged as I looked at the girls’ wounds and abuse.” He only needed to lie to get Arthur out of the reports.
