One day, awhile later, when Elazul and I were out for a walk, we found Inspector Boyd in front of the church again. Noticing me and Elazul, he rushed up to us.
"I am Inspector Boyd," he said for Elazul's benefit, "in pursuit of the jewel hunter! Do you have any information."
Elazul rolled his eyes. "You can't arrest Sandra anymore, just give it up."
"What?!" cried Boyd, his pride stung. "How dare you insult me?!"
"No," Elazul said. "That's not what I mean. Sandra has gone away...far away."
"What, is that all? So long as Sandra remains at large, I will bring her in!" he turned to me. "Well, do you have any info on the jewel hunter?"
"Sandra is no more," I said solemnly, struggling to keep a straight face.
Boyd grew angry and threw a small fit. "What?! What is wrong with everyone?! Speak some sense, please! I will not give up! I will go to the end of the world to catch her!
I walked Elazul back home to the Bejeweled City, where we learned Pearl was up with the Clarius. I decided to go up there and say hello. Just as we emerged onto the top floor, however, a note fell from the sky. I gasped.
"This means..!" Elazul whispered.
I bent over the note and picked it up. "Take care of Florina for me," I read.
Elazul relaxed, and smiled. His core chimed, and he said. "Sandra the jewel hunter was thinking of the Jumi in her own way," he said.
Perhaps he was right. I began to think about it on my way home. One thing was for sure, though-I was glad that they'd finally found peace.
