Chapitre 14: Chapter 14: GABRIEL

Dinner that night was… strange, no other word for it. There were no arguments between the men, who all seemed to have picked up manners and etiquette from somewhere in the last couple of hours. I watched and listened to the light banter that was mostly shared between Mace and Celine. She had no idea she was being questioned by an expert.

Each probe was meant to put her at ease, each follow-up revealing more about their life under the tyranny of Sam. I was even gladder now that I’d sent Wolf after him. He and I were gonna have a lot to talk about.

As much as she gave up, it wasn’t enough. There was still the question of why she’d let her husband abuse both her and her kid or why she let things get to the point where he was going to sell the poor girl to some bastard.
