章節 290: Tortured

Her back hit the wall before she could make more room between them.

She then noticed a long slim stick made out of fine white wood in his hand.

His bony fingers were placed on the handle of the chair, tapping rhythmically.

"I have done nothing," Katie argued.

"Where were you last night," came a straight question.

With that question, Katie's doubts were confirmed.

Helga has run her mouth.

"I-I was at my home," Katie replied.
