Chapter 12 - A Vow of Silence
"Hello, family," I said, my gun leveled at Sarah's chest. Greg fell to his knees, sobbing. "David, please! It was her! Sarah bought the poison on the dark web! She stole Marcus's watch to plant it! I just wanted the money, I swear!"
Sarah glared at him with pure disgust. "You pathetic coward." She turned her icy gaze to me. "Go ahead, David. Shoot me. You'll never see your kids again."
My blood froze. "What did you say?" Sarah smiled, a wicked, triumphant grin. "Eleanor isn't at the police station. She used the chaos of your escape to go to the hospital. She's visiting her 'beloved grandchildren' right now. With a syringe of potassium chloride. By the time you kill me, Leo and Mia will be dead."

I checked my watch. The hospital was twenty minutes away. I didn't have time for this. I struck Sarah across the jaw with the butt of my pistol, knocking her out cold. I zip-tied Greg to the radiator.
"If my kids die, I'm coming back to skin you alive," I promised, and bolted for the door.
