Chapitre 77: The Escape Plan

"Mr. Pearson, I'm Colonel Abbrias. I have a few questions for you regarding the case that you're involved in."

I stay silent, keeping my head low. I need to make them believe that I'm still bent on taking the blame.

"A new witness has emerged and claimed to be the one to have truly killed the governor," the colonel continues.

I still keep my mouth shut.

"This witness comes from The Covenant, who also claimed of framing you for the crime."

I look up, feigning surprise at his words.

"I guess that Major Felix is right, there is more to this case. Very well then, tell me what happened," the man asks, sitting down.

"I…it's…" I start with a fake stutter. "They told me they had my wife. They showed me her pictures, bloody. They told me that she would survive if I did what they said," I continue, casting my head down.

All I said was the truth, that is what happened.
