Chapter 98

Nighttime, in the interrogation room of the police station.

Dustin and Dahlia sat with their backs against each other, bound to the chairs in the middle of the room.

“The Cobra is merely a pawn. The mastermind is none other than Duane Welch.”

prominent Welch family of Millsburg! He was someone even the vicious, unyielding Cobra would kneel to. Yet
