Audrey’s POV:
Ethan seemed eager to follow up and interrogate Kevin,
Caspar exchanged a glance with Finley,
Audrey, Clara–I think it would be best if you both remained here in the living room.”
I nodded, believing they could ask something out of it.
The three men disappeared down the hallway, their footsteps fading as they headed toward the basement
Clara fidgeted beside me, her eyes darting toward the door they’d exited through.
Do you think they’ll get answers?” she asked quietly.
Before I could respond, she stood abruptly.
Let’s follow them,” she whispered excitedly.
“I want to see what’s happening with my own eyes.”
I sighed, shaking my head. “Clara, be reasonable. If they discover anything important, they’ll tell us afterward.”
“But I can’t just sit here wondering, Clara protested, her eyes pleading.
She clasped her hands together dramatically.
“Please, Audrey? I promise we’ll just peek.”
rolled my eyes, but couldn’t suppress a reluctant smile.
“Fine,” I conceded, rising from my seat.
“But we stay quiet, and if there’s any sign they might discover us, we’re coming straight back here.”
“Deal!” Clara whispered triumphantly.
I followed her down the dimly lit corridor until we reached a heavy wooden door.
Clara pressed her ear against it, then looked back at me.
“I can hear voices, she whispered. “But I can’t make out what they’re saying.
“Clara, you should realize… you might see a side of Finley you haven’t seen before. Interrogations aren’t always… gentle.”
She straightened her shoulders, her expression hardening.

The rags we sparsly forniched a moral chair in the center where Kevin sat, his hands bound behind his back.
Ethan and a fere fost away, sem ersesed, while Caspar and Finley positioned themselves on either side.
free tearing the tape on Kevin’s mouth, he was still shouting that he didn’t do anything
- Lewis, Erkan began, his tone surprisingly professional, I don’t know you still remember the Cole family.”
Kevin’s eyes widened with recognition at the mention of the Cole name.
I don’t remember, he stammered unconvincingly.
Ethan leaned forward slightly.
Id like to ask you about a kidnapping that occurred twenty–seven years ago at Manhattan Memorial Hospital. A baby girl was taken from the
Cole family.”
Kevin shock his head vigorously, sweat beginning to bead on his forehead
T–I don’t know anything about any kidnapping,” he insisted. I was just a kid back then.”
Ethan crossed his arms, his patience visibly thinning
According to the investigation, you started running small jobs for your uncle’s criminal operations when you were a child. ”
Kevin’s face paled, but he pressed his lips together tightly, refusing to speak.
“Listen,” Ethan’s tone softened, becoming almost conversational.
I will not hold you responsible. All I want is information about my sister where she was taken, what happened to her.”
Kevin stared at the floor, his shoulders hunched defensively. The silence stretched uncomfortably as he refused to engage.

He turned his attention to Kevin, eyes narrowing
Stop wasting our time,
Kevin glanced between them, sensing a shift in dynamics.
His posture changed slightly as he recognized an opportunity in their apparent urgency.
“Look,” he said, straightening up as much as his restraints would allow, I can see this information is important to you all. Maybe we could
come to some arrangement.”
Ethan’s expression brightened slightly. “I can meet any requirement you have, just say the word.”
“Perhaps,” Kevin continued, emboldened by Ethan’s response, “Five million is just pocket money for you, right?”
