Chapter 31~ The real culprit

“Answer me! Why did you meet this man?!”

“I’ve already told you he wasn’t the one I was supposed to meet! That man only came to my table to ask for directions. I don’t even know who he is!”

While Delilah and the officer went back and off with the same conversation, Tessa, Aaron and Inspector Michael observed the interrogation through the two-way mirror.

One side of the mirror could reflect, while the other side was transparent which enabled them to observe what was happening in the next room properly.

Tessa narrowed her eyes at Delilah through the glass. She could see her but Delilah couldn’t see them.

Delilah seemed confused and frightened. She genuinely looked startled.

Several thoughts reeled through Tessa’s mind when she noticed this. Her eyebrows knitted together as though she was confused about something.

“Tell us where the kids are! Do you want to be tortured?” The officer’s voice resonated through the

He then banged his hand on the table, making Delilah flinch.

“I’ve already told you. I know nothing! You got the wrong person. Why would I kidnap little children?” Delilah replied.

Tessa’s eyebrows knitted. She gave Aaron a sideways glance and remarked, “I don’t think Delilah knows anything about the kids’ disappearance.”

Aaron’s eyes squinted at her words. She just spoke his mind! He had been observing Delilah and so far, she didn’t look like she was guilty.

He affirmed and returned Tessa’s gaze, saying, “I think so too. It didn’t make sense at first but I think I now know why she was in that video. Someone is trying to set her up.”

“I’m not speaking anymore! I want my lawyer,” Delilah screamed and the officer stopped -interrogating her.

Aaron looked in Inspector Michael’s direction. His voice was low and dangerous as he requested.” How about interrogating her when the man in the video is found? For now, we can’t know for sure until we find that man. He’s the one who took the kids after all.”

Inspector Michael was a blonde man who was built like a tank. Average height with rough beards. He looked like he was ok but he was trembling inside.

Aaron oozed power that could force people to bow in submission to him. Inspector Michael was
