Can’t Win Me Back

Could that be the case? Could Justin really have harbored such sinister plans at such a young age?

Alyssa wasn't keen to believe in a conspiracy, but she had begun to suspect something two years ago. How could a 15-year-old manage to rescue Jasper from the kidnappers' hideout? Even an adult would have struggled to pull that off. It would have been impossible for a teenager like him.

Moreover, the kidnapper-Gustav Holm, infamously known as "Crazy Gustav" among gangs was a vicious criminal with numerous kills to his name. And yet, Justin freed a captive right under his nose. Forget Gustav; if Alyssa herself had been in his place, Justin's return to the Beckett family would have been out of the question.

Snapping back to reality, Alyssa quickly pulled out her phone and called Silas.

As soon as he picked up, she said, "Silas, can you help me retrieve a case file? I need to look at something."

Silas sighed. It was either radio silence from Alyssa or a shocking request like this. "Lyse, case files aren't something we can just hand out. There are rules."

"In that case, you can explain it to me. This wouldn't be against the rule, would it?"

Silas was rendered speechless. "What case are you interested in?"
