Chapter 783

No. 13's eyes brimmed with a frantic unease. "Depression? Cyberbullying?"

He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple moving prominently. It was like he'd gulped down something jagged, and his face twisted in discomfort.

Officer Baldwin gave him a curious look. "You know Lincoln?"

No. 13's expression said it all-it was a no-brainer.

"Depression's a tough nut to crack."

No. 13's fingers quivered slightly.
