Chapter: CHAPTER 40Alex Banks parked his car in front of the old building and got off. He walked into the warehouse, the same place where they tied up Jeremy. He walked into an inner room where Don was kept. He wasn't tied to a chair like Jeremy but instead,he was tied upside down above a hot boiling liquid. His face already burnt badly as a result of the steam. Alex Banks stood before him and looked him in the eye."I wonder where they found such a thick rope. They should have a thinner rope" Alex said touching the rope that was used to tie him ."Why did you tie me here to torture me. You should've killed me instead" Don said weakly."Why should I kill you, you're my friend remember.

Chapter: CHAPTER 38Clara sat on the dining chair, she looked around and noticed a few changes. All of the former workers were replaced. "What happened to the previous workers?" Clara asked Mabel."They were sent away because of what happened to you at the pool" Mabel said without looking at her, her gaze was on her phone."He shouldn't have fired them.
