“Mr. Gunn, Finn wouldn’t do something like that,” Shauna said firmly.

Baron didn’t even turn around. “Then find out who did. By dawn. If there’s no answer by then-Finn, you know what happens.”

With that, he strode off, leaving a deathly silence in his wake.

Finn collapsed onto the sofa, looking like he was about to cry.

“Shauna, this is a damn disaster! I’m innocent! You believe me, right?”

Shauna gave him a long, unreadable look. “If we can’t find the real culprit, you’re the most likely suspect. You know Mr. Gunn-he’d rather kill.the wrong man than let the real one escape.”

“I’m gonna die for nothing!” Finn slapped himself in frustration, looking utterly miserable.

Shauna finally softened a little. “If you’ve got time to whine, use it to investigate. I’ll check with the kitchen staff- logistics are my area anyway.”

She understood something that Finn hadn’t quite grasped yet.

Natalie was Mr. Gunn’s bottom line. His reverse scale.

For her to be poisoned here—in their most secure base-was terrifying in and of itself.

And if someone could use her as a proxy to target Baron himself?

Shauna’s blood ran cold just thinking about it.

She hurried off, and Finn didn’t dare waste another second. He jumped to his feet and launched into his own investigation.

Meanwhile, behind the privacy of his bedroom door, Baron collapsed to the floor the moment it shut behind him.

Blood trickled from the corner of his lips-dark and ominous.

The poison was strong.
