Chapter 12

“You’ll do fine, Sweetheart. Just remember what I told you. Stick to the truth; don’t reveal anything. He’s going to tell you some things you don’t want to hear, and I think just about all of them are going to be untrue. So don’t fret about what he says. Suspend your disbelief. Do not trust him for one second.”

Lydia knew he was telling her the truth. She also knew Jakob Lipori could be very convincing. He had an easy manner about him, and Lydia had fallen into his routine before when she didn’t know any better. He probably counted on her still trusting him.

There was no way that she still did. But he’d test her.

The attendant walked her down the gray, brightly lit hallway into an anteroom filled with tables, looking like a cafeteria or a family reunification center. Everything was starkly white or dark gray, very clean, and with plenty of light. Even in the great room, there were skylights, which did much to make someone forget they were in a maximum-security prison. She was impressed.

Then the attendant led her down along a narrow hallway that was also well lit, but with fluorescent lights that buzzed. They passed a series of rooms covered in doors with a small window in wire glass. At one of the doors toward the end, she stopped, unlocked it, and let Lydia inside. There was a gray table in the middle of the room on one side. Hooks were embedded in it, presumably to connect the chains of a prisoner and keep them fully shackled. On the other side, where the attendant showed her a metal chair to sit in, there was nothing.

She had given her purse and all her belongings to Harper before she entered, but the attendant dutifully did a soft body search, not very intrusive.

“Okay, ma’am, you can sit here. We will bring him in just a couple of minutes. Do you have any questions?”

“Will somebody be at the door the whole time?”

“Yes, ma’am. Both doors. They’ll be right outside. If you need anything, bang on the desk or raise your voice a bit, but they will be visually checking through the window. The prisoner will be fully shackled, both ankles and wrists. His wrists will be attached to the table here. He will be unable to reach across and touch you. You are also not allowed to touch him. And I know you’ve already been searched, but in case you’re thinking about passing him a note of some kind, a weapon, or file, you’ll wind up in jail if you try to do that. Not saying that you would.”

For a prison guard, she thought he was rather friendly and non-threatening. She appreciated this. Her nerves were caving by the second. She needed all the courage she could muster, having never been in this position before.

“Okay, I think that’s it. I’ll just have a seat and wait. How long will the interview be allowed for?” she asked, looking up to him.
