Chapter 145: Forgotten Memory
That night, Rory went to dinner as always. She read the paper Bobby passed to her using his men. She needs to leave home at midnight. As much as she was excited and scared if she could pull off the escape.
Her mind was with Liam all the while. It would be early morning where he is. She wondered if he slept well.
Everyone was talking about the bodies they found in the woods. Apparently, they found almost two dozen bodies in that cave. Investigations are conducted to figure out who those bodies were.
Frank was telling them how the talk of the town was that they were all the stashes of the "mad Roberts" and the bodies are all the missing persons from the town.
Rory sighed. Mad Roberts was Frank’s granduncle. He was schizophrenic and the town called him "mad Roberts". He never hurt anyone, but the townsfolk weren’t forgiving him for the frequent "episodes" he had accusing everyone of a Russian spy. He ran away from home when he was in his twenties. And from then on, the townsfolk accused "mad Roberts" for any disappearance happening in the town.
He would be a hundred years old now if he survived this long. Rory did not think that he would have the strength to kill at his age.
The bodies will reveal the truth, won’t they? They sure will.

In the interrogation room, Liam didn’t even know what day or time that is. He was kept in a room with no natural light. Interrogators were coming in a going out as they please.
They offered him food once and after that they never brought up food. It made him wonder if it is not dinner time yet, but a lot of time had passed.
