A Healer’s Journey
Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Personally Send Me Out
As evening arrived, the purple glow of dusk enveloped Jadeborough.
“Are you still not going to provide an explanation, Finnegan?” asked Romona as she ate a big bowl of food she brought into the interrogation room while her feet rested on the table.
As she chewed, she even intentionally asked, “You’re not hungry?”
Finnegan remained silent with closed eyes.
“I’m impressed, you know. The Miles family, the Haimowitz family, the Zimmerman family, the Langdon family, the Wahlstrom family, the deputy governor, and many others called to plead for leniency on your behalf. Unfortunately for you, I’m not easily pressured. As long as you refuse to provide an explanation, no one can bail you out. In fact, the more those people try to get you out, the more convinced I am that you’ve done something bad!”
A subtle look of surprise flashed past Finnegan’s eyes as he opened them. So, the families weren’t as incompetent as I thought. They did their best, but Romona didn’t relent. I wonder how she’s so resistant to the pressure they’re applying on her when she’s just a police captain. It’s as though she isn’t afraid of offending anyone at all.
He asked, “You’re from Durbaine, aren’t you?”
Romona froze for a moment before the look in her eyes turned sharp. “Why are you asking. me that?”
While she did come from Durbaine, she rarely brought it up to facilitate her work. Only a few people in Jadeborough were aware of that fact.
Based on her reaction, Finnegan knew his guess was correct. I bet she’s the child of a prominent figure, which would explain why she’s capable of resisting an absurd amount of pressure.
Thus, he smiled. “I didn’t expect you to be such a tough nut to crack. I suppose I’ll have to save myself.”
“Save yourself? If even the deputy governor can’t persuade me, who do you think can get me to release you?” replied Romona smugly.
Smirking, he stretched his hand toward her. “Can you hand me my phone?” To avoid her. from denying his request, he added, “You can’t restrict my freedom since I’m only here to ‘a*sist the investigation.”
Upon hearing that, she did as he asked. “I’m still going to keep you here, even if you can summon a god.”
