Rebirth Into My Second Chance

I watched Richard and Ronald exchange words, leaving me bewildered by their conversation.

I knew Richard didn't have a clue where Kate had gone off to. He was desperate to break free from this prison and avenge me.

I screamed, "Ronald, don't trust Richard. He's fooling you."

But Ronald swung the cell door open and grabbed Richard, his voice laced with betrayal, "Was I too nice to you at the start, and you fooled me?"

Ronald had always been the easygoing cop, but at the moment, he was livid. He already felt like he had botched the handling of my case.

Richard argued, "Let me out, and I'll find Kate for you."

Ronald slammed him onto the ground, "You're planning to avenge Claire, aren't you?"

Sitting on the floor, Richard smirked coldly, "Yes, I'll find the bastard who killed Claire. Kate must know something! Claire's dead. Does that jerk Claude know?" Ronald shook his head in disappointment. "Even with the evidence in front of him, he denies Claire's death, claiming Claire kidnapped Kate. He's an asshole."

That was the detective's take on Claude. I had been blind!
