Chapter 129: Sinister
Antonio’s eyes widened in fear as they looked at the massive dog standing in the doorway. The dog looked more like a wolf and was currently baring his teeth at them, lips pulled back angrily. It pulled against the leash, wanting to attack and Antonio started to tremble in his seat.
However, it was Sara whose reaction was even worse. She pushed away from Antonio and from the stool she sat on, putting as much distance between them as possible. Her eyes frantic, she rubbed her arms and scratched at her clothes as if trying to get rid of them.
Demetri’s eyes narrowed in satisfaction as he questioned," I thought it was very brave of you to stand in the way of this dog to save Nora. How selfless. But what is this? You are cowering in a corner now? What if the dog’s leash slips? It will attack Antonio. Aren’t you going to save him?"
Instead of answering his question, Sara cried loudly while screaming," I had not thought those things through! But now, please take the dog away. It is scary? What have we done? Please leave us. Let us go."
Antonio quickly stood in front of Sara and spoke," Mr Frost, I don’t know why you won’t believe in our innocence but if you don’t I am willing to stand here and let the dog attack me! Let Sara go..."
Demetri smiled and looked at Antonio," Are you sure that the girl is innocent? Why do you think she is so scared of that dog? Hmm? It is the dog that attacked Nora... Miss Anderson, are you still not going to confess?"
"I’ll tell you everything. I’ll tell you everything. But, first please take the dog away. Please take it away."
Satisfied, Demetri nodded at the dog handler who quickly dragged the dog away and waited for the girl to talk," I did not do it on purpose. Please believe me."
"Keep the explanations for later. First, you will give me her location and then you will confess to your deeds."
"I don’t know her location..." Sara immediately spoke.
