Overall, I like the edited version much more. I had to keep checking 
between to the two see how you'd changed things, hehe.

One edit that I think you got wrong, though:

First version just makes me think the Knights are protecting the 
police (including Nene).

Second version uses "they" to refer to the Knights, except at the end 
of the sentence when you mean it to refer to "people". So I first read 
it as suspicions that Nene was a Knight, and I didn't think Kari had 
gotten that far yet.


Great expansion to the ending, btw! :)
