“Where were you during the last akuma attack?”
The question rang out in Adrien’s head. “I was at a shoot.”
The detective lent back his chair. “That’s not what your photographer said.” He crossed his arms, glowering down at him. “He told us you never even bothered showing up.” The man’s eyes locked onto his own. His eyes were harsh and unyielding, actively scrutinizing Adrien’s story. “Lying won’t help you here, kid. Your dad confessed. Just tell us the truth, and we can cut you a deal. You’re young,” he pushed. “You don’t have to go down for your dad’s mistakes.”
Adrien’s heart pounded in his chest. He glanced at Ladybug across the table. He could practically see the gears turning in her head, trying to figure him out. Rubbing his palms together, the rattle of the cuffs dragged him out of his thoughts. “I’m telling you the truth.” His voice wavered, “I was at a shoot.”
