Love, Obsession, Torture
After a thorough body search and an extensive elaboration of what a dangerous criminal Millicent was, I was allowed one hour in a private room with her.
I recoiled the moment I met her eyes, she looked awfully terrible, skin so flaked and dry, her face looking greyish—papery, her lips cracked, hair stripped of life. She was a shadow of whatever she’d once been. Taking a wide berth, I sank into the seat opposite her.
“Millicent, I need your help.” My voice was low and soft, hopefully there was a soul in her heartless body.
“The Almighty Jack McCullen needs my help? With what? There’s nothing you can’t do.”
