"Did you see Herry?" He asked dryly, not looking at Lisa. His eyes were looking out the window instead. He was ashamed. Though, his plan was an excellent one but, Herry just escaped it in a blink of an eye.



"Yes." And she ended the conversation just like that. That wasn't usual.



Deep down, Lisa was thinking of who to take in as a replacement for ken. The man was old and his attic too. She didn't want to keep putting him in such a position. What if Herry has not allowed his release? What if Herry decided to keep him in jail and let him rot like he threatened? What if, just what if. What about if her questions got answered negatively?

Is that how desperate you are? To frame me of something i know nothing about and make the officials turn against me, making them think I'm a bad person.
