âCaleb, Iâve transferred Colin in a secure location.
Would you Like to see him?â Carlos asked in a low voice when I approached.
T nodded.
âYes.
â
Carlos then took me to Colinâs prison-a log cabin in the middle of nowhere.
The area was remote and overgrown with weeds.
There were no other houses in sight, and Little to no people passed by.
It seemed that Carlos had chosen the perfect place to imprison Colin.
Not even the locals could spot this place.
We wove our way through the weeds and approached the Log cabin quietly.
Then Carlos pulled the key out of his pocket and unlocked the door.
âHeâs inside.
â
The door swung open and I found Colin lying on the dilapidated bed.
He wasnât moving.
If it werenât for the fact that his eyes were open, I wouldâve thought he was dead.
Frowning, I asked Carlos, âIs he seriously injured?â
Carlos shook his head.
âNo, but I doubt heâs in his right mind.
I canât get him to talk.
â
My frown deepened.
This was not good news.
I approached Colin slowly and heard him mumbling something under his breath.
I stopped next to the bed and leaned closer to listen to what he was saying.
Soon, I could make out a few words.
âMy sister shouldâve killed that f@cking bitch and her child.
Debra shouldnât have had the chance to escape!â

His words struck me dumb.
Child? Debra had a child?
Debraâs POV: After Janiya and Caleb left, the drama at the office ended.
Adam drove away the idle employees who had gathered to watch the fun.
Then he took me to the dungeon.
âDebra, how did Colin escape?â
Looking at the empty cell that had previously contained Colin, Adamâs suspicious eyes shifted to me.
Although Caleb was able to take care of Janiyaâs little farce, I could tell that the seed of suspicion had been planted in Adamâs heart.
If I couldnât quash his doubts and prove my innocence today, itâd be difficult for him to trust me in the future.
Therefore, I met Adamâs suspicious gaze and said frankly, âThe power suddenly went out and Colin seized that opportunity to escape.
I, along with Caleb and one of the two guards, were all in the dungeon at that time.
The three of us can testify to this.
â
âIs that so?â Adam questioned, clearly unconvinced.
âYes.
If you donât believe me, you can talk to Caleb and the guard,â I said calmly, trying my best to sound as though I had nothing to hide.
âBut I donât think Colin couldâve gotten far since heâs injured.
He mustâve had an accomplice.
He had someone steal the IOU before, so itâs not impossible that he had someone help him escape.
â
Adam still wasnât convinced.
He turned to the guard and barked, âCheck the surveillance footage.
