A Shadow Of A Man

Part Three ~ The Master And His Angel

Kat placed the gun on the table "You were the one that set up the bomb that killed my baby, give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you now and finish this"? Her voice was high, eyes wide with anger "Speak Harold" she slammed her fist down

"Come on think, you're smart Kat, smarter than the rest, think about Martin, did you know he was the one who brought Aditya to the asylum in the first place, he even helped him kill Danny, it was all his master plan, you saw through Carlos, now see through him, he sent Zoya to be his therapist, put it together Kat, he wanted her dead, she was just part of the game, he even made sure she was Esmerelda's therapist, what does that say"? He breathed harshly through the pain, blinking through the blood that dripped down his nose and twisting his wrists against the rope

"What are you trying to say, you can't spin this on someone else" she shook her head

"You took his daughter away, wasn't it only fair that he took your child too, I had a contract to set up that bomb, don't you think it's funny that he wasn't there, all this time he called Zoya as Miss Siddiqui, never giving her the respect she deserved, he never loved her and he never loved you, Allison left him for a reason, but he played and won her back, that's why you shouldn't kill me because I can help you get the revenge you want"

Leaning back against the table she watched her hands shake, everything Harold said made sense, it fit. "How do I know I can trust you"?

"Because you want to find your husband, his blood was on the roof but they never found a body, well I know who can help with that, that's all I ever wanted, I wanted to help, I have his mother in a cell" Harold swallowed back vomit "You tell me why she would lie to you, you both have the same enemy, Dr Rowlan, all she wants is her other son back" he gestured to his tied hands "Let me go and I can help you, i'll help you get rid of him once and for all"

Rebecca slurped her milkshake "Go on, show Meg what Aditya did"

"I already told you Rebecca" she gave her a pointed glare "He didn't do it, it was my fault" she had no idea why she was sticking up for him, but something told her to keep it to herself

Megan's blue eyes wavered over Zoya's bandaged hand "Well, he would have had a good reason for it if he did do it, honestly i'd kill for a moment with that man, do you have any idea how fantastic his brain is"?

"You do know he has killed a ton of people, including his own wife"? Rebecca shook her head "Honestly Meg, you sound obsessed"

"He didn't kill his wife, why would he run away with her just to murder her, it doesn't even fit" she turned back to Zoya, ignoring her sister "Have you met him yet"?

"No, but I think I am today, he has to meet with a visitor then i'll introduce myself" she shrugged "Either way, he'll either want to speak to me or he won't, i'm hoping Allison was right and my name will make him talk, so you really think he didn't kill her"?

"Nope, because she isn't even dead" the words were meant to be said under her breath but when she looked up again at her sister who's eyes were wide with alarm and then at Zoya who wore an expression of confusion she cleared her throat "What I mean is, apparently she had a twin, could've been her" she stood up "I'm just going to the bathroom, be right back"

Rebecca soon followed, upon turning the corner she gritted her teeth "Are you stupid, we have one job and that is to keep her safe, our job is not to remind her of who she is because that also puts her in danger, I don't care if you're his number one fan, our employer and his rules come first" pinching the top of her nose she sighed "One wrong move like that could end it all, so please Meg, shush"
