Chapter 97: Uneasy Acceptance

We had Joey call you up first before taking her into the building.” “You did well,” Levi said, his gaze focused intently on the visibly frightened woman. “If you tell me the truth, you'll live.” She looked away from him, then shifted nervously. “I… I did it.” He looked her over quickly to make sure she didn’t look like she had been manhandled, his eyes pausing briefly at the red circles on her wrists. “Joey?” he called out softly, and the guard immediately followed his gaze. “Sir, we had to put her in handcuffs when we caught her,” he promptly replied. “Was it necessary to do that?” “Yes, sir. She punched Kendall in the balls and almost gouged out Emmett’s eyes.”
