Chapter 33

I attempt to catch my breath in the living room. The man placed me down on the sofa and bound my ankles with another zip tie. He pulled it as tight as he could across my skin as a scowl dug its way into his face. With focus in his eyes, he watches over me while attempting to save the cell I dumped into the toilet. Beth sits beside me.

"The screen’s getting worse," he growls out loud. "It's not accepting my input at all. I can't upload the damn video."

Apparently, the phone lost all capability to work when water flooded the components inside. The damage is giving me hope that the moisture will destroy the footage of my confession. There's no way in hell I'll ever say those words again in front of a camera. I'd rather die.

It still boggles my mind that I even said them in the first place. I always assumed I'd take what I did to the grave with me and tell no one who didn't already know. I guess I never thought a day like this would come.

The man places the cell down on the kitchen bench on one of my towels before he stomps over toward me. His eyes stay locked onto mine without direct eye contact. He regards me the way a farmer checks over his cattle before having them shipped off for slaughter. What thoughts are running through his mind?

He lets out a sigh. "So what should I do with you if I can't get your confession off that cell, huh?"

"Just let me go. I don't know who you are. I won't run to the police."

He crosses his arms tight over his chest. "Do you think I'm a complete moron? You realize what has to happen now, don't you."

"Yes," I mutter. I was in a mask at that gas station. And I went into hiding via witness protection the second I testified against Zach. How much effort had Zach gone through to send this psycho after me?

The man shifts his eyes up to Beth, turning himself to her level while keeping his arms crossed. "You're going to help me get a new confession."

"No, she isn't," I say trying to put any defiance I can into my voice. "Leave her out of this. Let her go." It hits me that I'm playing right into his hand. All he needs to do is threaten Beth again and I'll confess. I know it.

He ignores my demands with a smirk and continues speaking with Beth. "You understand what's at stake here?"

Beth bares her teeth. "You know I do."

I shift my focus to her. I can tell she doesn't want to do a thing in my favor after hearing my confession. She almost answers him as if I'm not in the room. It hurts, I'll admit, but I don't have a leg to stand on. I might as well be the devil to her now.

But as I hold my gaze on her eyes, I find anger and fear fighting over one another.
