Day Sixty-Three…
~~*****~~
A deep crease ford on Jane's forehead when she heard his last remarks. "What do you an by that?"
"I'm the one who had sex with Karina. You are right. Everything is for show. I pretended to be Dave. She made wear a hyper-realistic mask so that I will look like Dave. At first, she was supposed to sleep with Dave after drugging him but he was allergic to the drug." The man confessed as he spoke spontaneously.
"So it ans Dave didn't have sex with Karina. It was you." Jane questioned him as she paused the recorder. Jane was recording his confession so that she could use this to make Abigail believe that Dave was innocent. Whenever she would speak, Jane was pausing the recorder so that her voice wouldn't be included in the recording.
"Yes. Dave didn't do it. How could he? He was sleeping in Karina's car which was parked inside Dave's garage. I'm the one who entered the house with her. We purposely let Dave's girlfriend catch us in the act."
"When she left, I brought Dave to his room and stripped him naked. Karina wanted him to believe that sothing happened between them so that he would take responsibility. Karina was obsessed with him."
"That woman was madly in love with that guy that she willingly gave her virginity to . She wanted Dave to marry her and pressured him using her father's influence. That's all I know. Now, can you let go? I promise I won't tell anyone about you." The man revealed everything he knew because he was afraid of this woman. She was capable of killing him.
Jane was satisfied to hear this revelation. At least, she could clear Dave's na and he didn't have to bla himself. He was innocent. He didn't touch Karina.
But Jane was not yet done with this interrogation. "Do you know Helena Carlsen? Have you t her? Is she part of this sche?"
The man shook his head. "No. I don't know her. But when Karina gave the money, there was a beautiful woman present there. Jane made him describe the woman's appearance. By just listening to him, she already confird that he was referring to Helena.
She clenched her fists. It was Helena Carlsen again.
"Are we done here? Please let go already. I already told you everything I know. And please… can you pull out the knife on my right leg and treat my wound?" The man started begging her once more.
"No. we are not yet done here. You must bring Karina to . I'll deal with her… next." Jane mumbled, her eyes gleaming with rage. "Call her and ask her to et you in your apartnt." she paused for a mont and checked her wristwatch. "Convince her to et you at around 11:00 am."
It was already 10:00 am and Jane had to prepare first before eting Karina. The confrontation would happen in the man's apartnt.
Jane pressed the stop button of the audio recorder. Then she stood up to pick up the man's phone. She unlocked it using the man's fingerprint. She dialed Karina's phone number and put the phone on loudspeaker mode as they waited for Karina to answer.
"You know what to do," Jane reminded the guy. Her voice contained a dangerous threat.I think you should take a look at
They called her thrice before it was answered. It seed that Karina was intentionally avoiding him.
"What do you want?" Karina snarled at him. She sounded displeased. "I told you not to contact anymore or show yourself to ."
"Cough!" The man cleared his throat first, trying to endure the pain. He needed to convince Karina first. His life depended on his performance.
"We need to talk. Co to my apartnt by eleven. Don't be late."
"How dare you?! I don't want to see your face ever again!" Karina was truly pissed off.
The man let out a soft chuckle and said, "This will be the last ti you will see . Just et . If you won't co, I will reveal to Dave what you've done yesterday." The man resorted to threatening Karina. He knew that she wouldn't co to et him willingly. He had to force her.
"Fuck You Tom!" Karina cursed him. "Don't you dare reveal the truth to Dave, I will hunt you down and make yourself miserable. You know my father. He is powerful to put you in prison!"
The man whose na was Tom just let out a sarcastic laugh. He knew that Karina could use her father's power and influence to make him suffer if he betrayed her. But at least, he still had the ti to escape and flee. But this woman before him would torture him to death if he wouldn't follow her instructions. She was scarier than Karina and her father.
Jane ended the call. Her timing was right. She didn't let Karina speak again. Jane typed a ssage and sent it to her. [ I need more money. If you are even one minute late, I will tell Dave everything. ]
She knew that Karina would have second thoughts now, thinking that Tom was not bluffing. Also, she just let Karina think that Tom just wanted more money, and that's why he was asking her to et him again.
"Now… I obeyed you. Can you release now?" Tom asked her again in his desperate tone.
"I haven't t her yet. You are going to stay here for a while." Jane said with finality.
She stepped out of the torture room and changed her clothes again. This ti she used her signature assassin clothes. All black– dress pants, sleeveless top with a hooded faux leather motorbike jacket, leather gloves, mask, and knee-high mid-calf military leather boots. She brought an assassin's blade, dagger, and gun.
Jane felt nostalgic when she saw her reflection in the mirror. It had been so long since the last ti she wore this attire. She never regretted becoming an assassin. Because of this, she survived this harsh world and she learned so many skills.
"Sister! Pahntomflake is back!" Cherry was exhilarated seeing her in her usual assassin's clothes.
Jane smiled at her faintly. "Yes. Phantomflake is back. And this might be my last… and final mission." Jane was referring to solving the mysteries surrounding her.
