  I wring my hands frantically before placing them on my waist as I pace the interrogation room. How could this have happened?  How did he suddenly jerk and start foaming from the side of his mouth? What did I miss? 

  "M, he has been taken to the hospital, the doctor is tending to him now." One of Zeb's guards tells me.

  "M, there is chaos everywhere. Everyone is going crazy after watching Zeb attempt suicide! What do we do?" My guard asks me frantically. 

  "Play the interrogation tape, let us see what happened." I order.

We all watch carefully, on screen where the video tape played, Zeb had rubbed his face. I had assumed it was a harmless gesture, he was rubbing his face tiredly. But I didn't notice the tiny, white, pill he slipped into his mouth.

  "Barrow." On screen him says, he looked intently into the camera, like he knew who was watching and he was communicating with them.
