John came downstairs and turned to Matilda. “I’m not sure when I’ll be back tonight, so lock the windows and doors carefully.”

“Don’t worry,” she assured, and he left with Logan.

It was pitch black inside, but John took a step down without hesitation with Logan following behind. About seven feet deep into the ground, they landed, and John whisked out his cell phone for light.

the man still had some integrity as he didn’t utter a word, and John smirked. “I’ve seen more than enough of people like you who think that you can pull through if you just bear with it. That’s amusing.” Standing up, he went on, “I have countless ways to torment you to spill the beans, but I would still like to give you a chance in the beginning. If you
