Chapter 780

Brad felt a sharp ache in his chest. "Nadine, you know damn well that's not what I meant! Jean is locked in my basement right now. I can take you to see her!"

It hit him then that no matter how much he tried to explain, Nadine wouldn't believe him. That realization left him feeling utterly powerless.
