Chapter 8 / 15
Chapter 8 - The Message In The Dark
I went.
Not because I trusted her.
Because Lucas was involved.
Candice waited in the empty garage.
“You’re making a mistake.”
“No. I made mistakes before.”
I looked at her.
“I ignored my son.”
That bothered her more than anger.
Because guilt made me harder to control.
She handed me a folder.
“You think I’m the villain.”
I opened it.
Inside were old records.
And pictures of Lucas.
But not what I expected.
Someone had been watching him.
Candice whispered:
“I was protecting myself.”
I laughed.
“You hurt my son.”
Then she said something I never expected.
