Chapter Seventeen

An hour later and I hadn’t gotten anywhere with the inmates. After the first one, no chances were taken. I left the room as the inmates were switched, waiting for the new one to be secured before I walked back in for another short conversation.

With the time I wasted going nowhere with the southern cell block inmates, I was able to think about other things.

Keep putting the pieces together. Keep finding the connections. That’s how you find answers. Exhaust every possibility.

I drummed my fingers on the table as the most recent inmate pleaded about his innocence. He knew nothing. My phone buzzed in my pocket, making me sigh. The only positive of my phone going off was the prison had their communications back up.

“We’re done here,” I finally said. “Take him back to his cell.” I stood up and walked out of the room before the guards got to the inmate. The door auto locked once it closed behind me, and I stood in the hall, sighing heavily. This was tedious work, but it gave me time to think.

The prison doesn’t allow visitors, yet there has obviously been someone visiting. Someone asked Nakul to kill me, someone was messing with the inmates. The prison didn’t come with something as simple as a sign-in sheet or anything because of normal protocol, which was definitely being broken.

I needed to figure out the connection. Who was visiting and tied a witch inmate in the southern block to Nakul, Wesley, and the hit on me?

I had a shortlist of who would know of any visitors in and out of the prison, but getting anyone on the shortlist to talk was the problem. Korey was openly hostile. Eliphas was a witch and could easily evade with a bit of magic to get me to forget my train of thought while I tried to interview him.

I could offer him Kartane, but who knows if that’ll fucking work. I’m already under orders from the witches on the Tribunal to kill his second. The best thing I could get are Eliphas’ eyes back if that’s even possible.

“Are you okay?” Raphael asked, stepping up next to me. “You’ve seemed tired in the last couple of interviews.”

“I’m fine, thanks. How’re you?”

“Good…Well, not good, but not as pissed as I was.”

I chuckled. He checked on me between every interview since the first guy was able to get the jump on me. I waved Cael closer.

“We’re done for today,” I said as I pulled my phone out of my pocket. Hopefully, it was news to help handle another one of the numerous problems on my list. Cael nodded while I watched him jog away, probably to tell the others not to bring anyone else for interviewing. I checked the text with one hand while rubbing my temple with another.

“News?” My roommate was now hovering over my shoulder. I tilted the screen so he could read too. “Ah, fuck.”

“Pretty much.” I sighed, rereading the text over and over.
