93. Running back home.

That morning when I had walked into Duke's study and heard him discussing Rowan's crimes with Alan, I wouldn't have guessed it was this much. When Alan had said the crimes the man committed was enough to keep him behind bars for long years, I didn't think much about it.

However, seeing and hearing it for myself now, I am beyond shocked.

My body is still trembling even now that the news has moved on to another discussion entirely. I still can't get it out of my head. The fact that I spent long nights waiting for such a man makes me almost hate myself.

If not for Duke, Rowan Fletcher would have continued to live his life, committing more crimes against man and God.

Now they say he's on the run.

I pick my phone, I want to hear Duke's voice.

The phone is ringing, he must be busy now. Should I be disturbing him? Maybe I should just—"Hello," oh, he picked.

"H_Hello, Duke,"
