Chapter 98

Nighttime, in the interrogation room of the police station.

Dustin and Dahlia sat with their backs against each other, bound to the chairs in the middle of the room.

“You don’t look that bold to me, so my guess is someone is trying to frame you. Does this have anything to do with the Cobra?”
