“So now you’re trying to tell me that it was all an act? You falling on the ground, shaking, and all that? It was all planned with the doctors and nurses?” I asked Luke after he had brought the whole thing out to me. I couldn’t believe my ears. But it shouldn’t be surprising, since this man was a psycho.
