Tandy glanced at Noella, a faint smirk playing on his lips. “Look, I’ve got no clue what you’re jabbering about. Never laid eyes on you before. And as for Vincent, well, we barely crossed paths.

Xavier fumed at Tandy’s unyielding demeanor.

Tandy had been in Lockhart Prison quite a while, and even Xavier couldn’t always get a straight answer out of him. Yet the secrets Tandy held were so numerous, Xavier couldn’t bear to just off him with a bullet.

With a stride, Xavier marched over and yanked Tandy off the cot as if he were picking up a sack of potatoes, “You gonna talk or not? Don’t think I’m doing you any favors keeping you breathing!”

Noella interjected coolly, “Thorpe’s on his way here. Looks like he’s planning a prison break.”

Tandy’s eyes bulged in shock!

Xavier dropped Tandy back on the cot, his knuckles white with tension. “I’ve never heard of anyone dumb enough to break into Lockhart Prison. Interesting!”

Palmer chuckled softly. “Xavier, hadn’t there been a few attempts at prison breaks before?”

Xavier smirked at Tandy. “Those who tried to break out before–you know what happened to them? My throne’s cushioned with their heads!”

Xavier’s throne was studded with jewels, the life’s worth of those would–be escapees!
