The Criminal I Crave
“I knew it. I knew they were right when they told me you were part of the cartel, but I just couldn't believe my eyes.”
I paused for a while, watching Alfred stay silent while he dragged his seat back to him and finally sat down.
“What do you mean I'm part of the cartel? Are you trying to pin me to something I'm unaware of?” he said, staring at me with full boldness.
Now I know this clearly, manipulators aren't just written boldly on their faces, they all do it with no shame, including me.
“I'm not accusing you, Mr. Alfred. I know you are part of the cartel, ‘Johnson Rock’,” I called his real name out, and he immediately removed his glasses from his face while staring at me.
