A Man in Distress
“You’re safe. We’re not here to threaten you. But we need the truth. If you cooperate, it helps protect you and ensures Marcus can’t use you as a scapegoat.”
“I don’t know if I can,” she whispered. “He… he’s manipulative. Dangerous.”
“I know,” I said softly, letting my voice convey reassurance. “But staying silent is far more dangerous. Marcus is already collapsing. If you wait too long, you’ll have no choice. Now, you have a choice. You can help us—and protect yourself.”
There was another pause, then a hesitant breath. “I… I’ll cooperate. But I need guarantees. Protection.”
