Chapter 11 - The Chief Who Was Used
Reed finally admitted something.
Not everything.
Enough.
Someone approached him weeks earlier.
Someone who knew exactly how to feed his ego.
They told him I was insignificant.
They told him embarrassing me would make him look powerful.
And he believed them.
Because he wanted to.
The officer listened.
“You never verified the information.”
Reed looked down.
“No.”
For the first time, he looked ashamed.
Not because he hurt me.
Because he realized someone had controlled him.
I watched him.
A dangerous person had been used by someone more dangerous.
Then Reed said something unexpected.
“They knew your name.”
My expression changed.
“Who?”
He looked at me.
“I don’t know.”
A pause.
“But they said…”
He stopped.
“What?”
His voice lowered.

“They said you would never fight back.”
