Chương 23: Facing the consequences

"Penelope take Kimberly to her room" Alex ordered the moment they got home. He dragged Laura out of the house and together followed by Dexter, they made their way to the dungeon.

The cage was opened and his rage was set free, her unshed tears came rushing down like a broken fountain. Laura scrunched her nose when she perceived the pungent smell of rust iron and blood.

'Is he going to kill me? I don't want to die she thought, her sobbing turning from whispers to loud sobs.

They stood in front of a man who was shackled on a wooden chair, he had tears in his eyes. "Boss please forgive me, I didn't mean to. I had no idea that she had left the bathroom" the man begged, he didn't want to die, what of his children?

"You see this man begging for his life?" Alex asked, "he was supposed to make sure you don't leave the bathroom, he was supposed to watch you and make sure you don't escape but he failed." Laura gulped an invisible spit.
