Cross questioning

"Frederick, your son, Jared has accepted to have been your partner in all your crimes. And now, he is being held in custody just like you. Tch, tch, tch. How pitiful the father and son duo are." Preston faked a pitiful look although he was staring at the man scornfully.

"What?" Frederick rushed towards Preston to hold him. However, he stopped when he noticed the change in the expressions on the young man's face. He did not want to add more to his long list of crimes but attacking Preston or anybody else. He already had a lot on his plate. "How can this be? There is no way Jared would accept this when he was not involved with this in any way. You are only bluffing." Frederick tried to analyze the things calmly, trying to put up a courageous front. Only he knew how worried he was and what state his already muddled brain was in.
