119 Confession Time

(Jayden)

I sit in the room next to where Winona is, anxiety clawing at my insides. Gordon and Daniel, our lawyers, stand beside me, their faces etched with concern. A couple of commanding officers are here too, their presence adding an air of gravity to the situation. We see Winona on the screen, her expression a mix of determination and fear.

Steve insisted he talk to her alone and in private.

Winona sits in the small, sterile room, her back straight, her face a mask of steely resolve. My heart aches for her.

She's been through so much, and now she has to face the man she hates more than anyone in the world. Steve Halley, her father.

The door to the interview room opens, and Steve shuffles in, his wrists and ankles shackled. An officer escorts him, attaches his shackles to the bolted-down seat, and leaves again. Steve's stare, cold and calculating, lands on Winona, and a slow, sinister smile spreads across his face.

I grip the edge of the table in front of me, anger boiling inside.

"Hello, Winona," Steve drawls, his voice dripping with malice. "We meet again."

Winona doesn't flinch. "Let's just get this over with, Steve," she says, her voice steady but filled with contempt.

He chuckles, the sound sending chills down my spine. Always so eager to get away from me, aren't you?" His eyes glint.

"Just say what you need to say," Winona replies, her voice unwavering. "You're here to confess."
