She looked terrified.
Two guards brought her inside.
She immediately fell to her knees.
“Please.”
I stared.
“Where were you?”
“I ran.”
“Why?”
“Victor wanted me dead.”
I laughed.
“You locked children in a basement.”
She began crying.

“You hurt them.”
“I never wanted to.”
“Then why did you?”
She looked at me.
“Because Victor threatened my son.”

“You have a son?”
She nodded.

“Where is he?”
“Victor has him.”

She had been trapped.
I asked,
“Who helped Victor?”
She whispered,
“Ethan's business partner.”
I stared.
“Who?”
She said the name.
My blood went cold.
It was the one person who had been helping me search for Ethan's killer.
