Chapter 212

Patrick realized that Cameron wasn't budging and had no choice but to swallow his pride and plead, "Cameron, please get me out of here. I'll do whatever you say from now on. Deal?"

Cameron, clearly annoyed, snapped back, "Wait for me to get back with good news," and then stormed off, his face set like stone.

Patrick felt hopeful, and rubbed his hands together eagerly. "With Cameron on it, it's like having double the manpower. I'll be out of here in no time."

Back at the detention center, a fellow inmate gave Patrick a long, peculiar look, studying him intently.

Patrick tried to steer clear of the guy, but he sidled up to Patrick and struck up a conversation. "Are you a Brown by any chance?"

"Yeah," Patrick replied, a bit confused. "Do we know each other?"

The guy put on a friendly smile. "I'm good friends with your daughter. She asked me to look after you."

Patrick frowned, whispering under his breath, "It must be Nellie. She's the only one who'd hang out with such shady characters."

Suddenly, the man's eyes took on a sinister glint, but his voice dropped to a whisper, "Buddy, since we're pals, I'll level with you. I'm actually the serial killer from ten years back, and I'm on death row. Before I go, I'm looking for someone to join me on the trip to the afterlife." Patrick shuddered with fear.

The man asked, "Are you scared of me?"

"No, not scared... You know you shouldn't break the law, right?"
