With her parting, I turned my gaze to the living room, where Tina sat on the sofa, her hands tightly clasped on her thighs. A flutter of unease flashed across her face.

Opting for a concealed staircase tucked away in a secluded alcove, I found a vantage point over the entire hall while remaining unseen by its occupants.
I knew I had chosen a dangerous route. Yet, I was relegated to a passive role, reliant on the shelter of others. Any mishap would lead to my expulsion. I couldn’t afford any mistakes. Ensuring absolute clarity of the situation became imperative. Otherwise, I would fall victim to betrayal.

She had long legs, a slender waist, and sported short, striking purple hair that immediately caught one’s attention. I recognized her as a cop from Roz Town, known for her tendency to resolve issues through forceful means.

“What prison guard? I don’t understand.”
Zoe shot her a taunting look, her lips curling into a sly smile.
“Tina, let me enlighten you. I’m a cop hailing from Roz Town. The former mayor there, Adam, knows a bag of ruthless interrogation tricks, and I’ve employed them on the prison guard. After a night of grilling, he spilled everything, He spilled that it was the Barton family who put him up to it. And before Jayla passed away, she too accused the Bartons of causing her harm
“That can’t be true!” Tina retorted fervently.
