Desperate Measures
After a long day at work, Candy and I decide it's time to take a crucial step in our plan to capture Jack.
We know we need to visit Mrs. Susan, Jack's grandmother, to discuss the controversial and sensitive plan to use Jack's kids, Tommy and Roderic, as bait.
The drive is quiet, both of us lost in thought about how to approach the conversation. The gravity of the situation weighs heavily on us, knowing that convincing Mrs. Susan to cooperate could be pivotal.
These past few days, I've noticed something different about Zack. Every time we're in the car, I catch him stealing glances at me from the rearview mirror.
It's subtle, but it's there, and it's starting to make me feel a bit self-conscious. I wonder if it's just my imagination or if he's really got something on his mind.
His attention is constant, and it's beginning to feel like he can't take his eyes off me. Even now , tight at this moment , he's at it as he drives us home.
