Reed, who had been hiding not far away, stepped forward, grabbed Madeleine by the hair, and dragged her straight back to the room. Madeleine's fingers were still on the doorknob, and Reed frowned, and he broke Madeleine's fingers off the doorknob one by one.

"Arsonist! You arsonist! Isha was burned! You killed Isa!"

Madeleine struggled and jumped under Reed's pressure, like a fish that had just been fished out of the water. Her eyes were red, and her expression was like that of a devil. Her saliva flowed from the corners of her mouth as she roared, all the way to her chest.

"Wow, that's a bit of a hassle. ”

Reed glanced at Calvin, then at his men, Madeleine. He pressed both of Madeleine's arms against her back, and then dragged her back to the couch.

Calvin sneered at Madeleine's frantic curses.

He pulled out a notebook, an old notebook that was outdated, and it was a record of the business that Grion had handled. And among the cheap papers, there were a lot of printed documents and photographs -- all of which I found in Greon's office, and they were placed alongside the pyramid-shaped dollar rolls one after the other.

Ignoring Madeleine's wailing, Calvin crouched down in front of the woman.

He pulled a photograph out of his notebook and shook it in front of Madeleine's eyes—the scene was so disgusting that even Madeleine, who was gradually starting to go crazy again, was silent for a moment.

"Do you know what this is?"

Calvin said softly.

He flipped through the notebook and placed it in front of Madeleine so she could read its contents......

"Do you need me to explain to you? What I just said is what happens to the lucky ones who can be obedient and brainwashed. Do you know how the Adventists work with the others—the gangsters, the smugglers of the dark web, and the bustards in the Red Light District?"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Tearful tears welled up in Madeleine's eyes.

Calvin paid no attention to her, and told Madeleine in the presence of the woman what he had investigated, what he had felt, and what he had seen.

Calvin didn't even know how long it had taken him to finish it, and he knew that when he finally stopped, Madeleine would never be able to do anything without Reed's suppression.

She collapsed on the ground, whimpering in unusually mournful sorrow.

"I ...... I can't ......."

I don't know how long it took for Calvin to hear her whisper coming from behind his fingers.

"Those people...... Those people were really nice to me in the beginning, and no one was so nice to me...... I was just...... I don't know...... I just want Isha to have a good life too...... I didn't think of it...... I really didn't expect ......."

Madeleine kept repeating the phrase.

"And then, you gave Isha to those demons like that. ”

Calvin said.

His words seemed to trigger an invisible switch, and Madeleine suddenly let go of her hand, and she grabbed Calvin's neckline, and then yelled at Calvin—

"You know bullshit!You little faggot who can make a simple life by selling his ass!Do you know what the fuck I'm doing?!What right do you have to accuse me here!You have no idea how good, kind, and warm those people could have been in the beginning—" Madeleine shuddered uncontrollably as she spoke, her shrill growl once again drowned out in choked sobs and tears, "I just ...... I want to live a little better. I want somebody to be nice to me instead of being dragged off the floor in the middle of the night and putting ten dollars in my panties and saying to me, 'Hey, old □□, do you want something more exciting?......'

Calvin stared at Madeleine in silence.

"If it's just me suffering, I can bear it. Really, but those people, those people are terrible, and those scum sometimes look at Isha like that, and I really want to gouge out their eyeballs...... But I can't help it, I still rely on those people to pay my rent and social security. God, I just want Isha to grow up in a better environment, and I hate to let her hear that...... I...... I want her to grow up in a more upright, ethical environment...... Am I doing something wrong...... I do not know...... You tell me...... Why did I lose my little one when I was just trying to make her better? They said that's my baby, but my baby shouldn't be like that......"

Little by little, Madeleine's gaze became cloudy and distracted.

After mentioning Isa, her sanity and sobriety were once again pulled into the distance. Perhaps it was an instinct for her self-preservation, and whenever it came to Isa, she had to fall into madness to get away from the pain that almost destroyed her.

"I should go to Isa. ”

Madeleine let go of her hand, and her gaze looked beyond Calvin.

"It's so late, it's too dangerous for a little girl like her to be outside. ”

Madeleine murmured. She looked around her in a bit of a panic, as if she didn't quite understand why she had suddenly appeared.

Calvin looked at Madeleine in amazement, wondering why he remembered once again Isa's rotten, swollen face, and her lifeless whispers.

But Isha was still dead. ”

Calvin whispered. Madeleine rolled her eyes blankly, as if she had removed both Calvin and Reed from her world.

Reid stepped forward, he raised his hand and pressed a certain part of Madeleine's neck, he held that position, and after a few seconds, Madeleine's eyes rolled back, and then she fainted without saying a word.

"Thank you. ”

Calvin thanked him wearily.

Reed placed Madeleine in another extra bedroom in the cabin. Of course, the "arrangement" here actually refers to tying Madeleine's hands and feet with duct tape, then throwing her on the bed, and finally locking all the windows and doors of her room.

In doing these things, Reed would look back at Calvin from time to time.

"Well, I think I'm getting more and more of that kidnapper style now. Maybe it's just to relax the atmosphere, Reid muttered with a wry smile.

But after saying these words, the atmosphere in the whole room unexpectedly became heavier and more awkward.

"Just kidding. Reid added dryly.

Calvin sighed.

"Maybe I shouldn't be so impulsive. He said.

"What do you mean by ...... impulse?"

Exiting the room, Reed slipped the key into the lock and spun around, satisfying to feel the small movement of the lock falling heavily.

"That fire in Angel Town, those businesses in Grion, and the fact that I'm an arsonist. Calvin said calmly and quietly.

"Hmm, that'......"

Reed looked at Calvin tenderly, and a light fell into his eyes at an angle, staining the pair of clear, turquoise pupils with a golden glow.

"I think it's just a small problem, and we'll always find a way to solve it. ”

Reed dragged Calvin in front of him, and he hugged Calvin. Reed's chest was as warm and thick as ever, and Calvin even had the illusion that the green-eyed man could easily wrap Calvin's whole body if Reed wanted to.

"And, though you insist that you do not have any feelings of pity and sympathy for that woman...... But I always felt that telling her about it wasn't a bad decision. She had lost her own child, and she should have known that the people who killed her daughter had been engulfed in flames, and that you had avenged the poor little girl in your own way. I think she'll want to hear that. ”

"Perhaps, but the reality is that I did reveal my identity, and then it is very likely that I buried an even more dangerous hidden danger for the future. ”

Calvin buried his head in Reed's shoulder, and he said dryly.

"Are you sad?"

Reed asked in Calvin's ear.

Calvin hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I'm sad. ”

Reed lowered his head, then kissed Calvin's cold, dry lips. A strong sense of security spread throughout Calvin's body along with the heat.

By the time the two of them had finally separated, Calvin had felt much better.

And the kind of emotion that kept surrounding his mind gave him a dangerous urge to get a clear answer from Reed.

Or rather, a promise.

"Calvin?" Noticing Calvin's gaze, Reid tilted his head a little worriedly, "Still worried?"

"No, nothing, I just thought I should go take a shower first. Well, I'm a little stinky...... God knows how you were able to hold it so hard just now. ”

Calvin subconsciously changed the subject.

"Oh, the only thing I can smell is the fragrance of your skin. ”

Reed chuckled and made a small joke.

That sounds a little disgusting, really. ”

Calvin replied.

On the surface, everything is normal with him......

But only Calvin himself knew that in the depths of his soul his instinct and reason were pulling at each other, perhaps......

Perhaps in such a situation, it is not wise to clarify the relationship with Reed.

Calvin said to himself in the bottom of his heart.

After all, both he and Reed are on an extremely dangerous, fugitive journey. And Reed's situation is also very complicated.

He doesn't just represent him, he has other personalities inhabited by him.

Calvin's intellect knew that theoretically those personalities belonged to the same person, but in his dealings with Fugg, with Vicgilli, and even with Moser and Heathto, he could clearly feel that they were very different from each other.

They alternately wake up in the same body, but ...... They are not a unit. At least Calvin had no way of seeing them as the same person. 2k reading web
