Chapter 98: Welfare
Matthew
I think about my last conversation with Charles.
When I asked him why Evelyn hated Sarah, he refused to give me a straight answer. He denied it was true. But I know something is definitely up with her. Sarah is not imagining it and neither am I. I wonder if it has anything to do with Rodrigo.
I left the house and told Sarah that I was going to work, but I fully intended to see that couple, Serena and Blake. I need to know the truth about Sarah’s kidnapping and it seems like only the kidnappers themselves will give me real answers.
I go to Charles’s house so we can go together.
Charles opens the door as if he had been waiting for me this whole time. His hair is disheveled, and his eyes are red-rimmed.
"Matthew, you made it," he says.
"Let’s go," I say.
Charles’s expression darkens. "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Why not? Don’t you want to know what really happened to Sarah?" I feel my frustration rising. Everyone seems intent on burying the truth, but I can’t let it go. "Sarah deserves answers."
Charles sighs heavily, leaning against the wall. "Alright."
