The Supreme Soldier in the City

"Emma, I’m currently involved in something very important, and I’m with Officer Emily Wilson today."

James Brown held Emma Campbell softly as they walked toward the school, explaining to her what had happened during the day.

Emma nestled close to James, having long since stopped worrying about John Smith, and now, hearing James explain, her small grievances disappeared like smoke in thin air. In a voice filled with guilt, she said, "Big Brother Brown, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have doubted you. When I saw you dressed like that, I should have realized you were busy working, and I even bothered you. Did I cause any trouble for you all?"

James suddenly felt an immense guilt rise within him and involuntarily sighed.

Emma was startled and said anxiously, "Big Brother Brown, did I actually mess things up for you?"

Then, James realized that he had led Emma to misunderstand. He quickly smiled and said, "No, you covered it up well, and I showed up just in time to save you. That guy shouldn’t suspect that we’re the same person."

"Then why did you sigh?" Emma was still not quite convinced.

James gently tightened his embrace and said softly, "Emma, I should have come to see you sooner so you wouldn’t have been frightened. It’s my fault for being late."

Emma immediately showed a comforting smile, saying, "It’s okay, he just grabbed my arm."

"Hmm, that’s good then. Emma, I’m going to be quite busy these next few days, and I’m afraid I won’t have much time to spend with you."

Emma smiled sweetly, saying, "You’re doing important work. We’ll have plenty of time later, focus on your tasks first."
