Joe was dumbfounded.


    Debra continued, "Too bad, your master never nned to save you."


    Joe''s head throbbed. He stepped back, ready to run. But as his head turned, he saw Pedro and that police officer, who were supposed to be both dead.


    They quickly came up to restrain him.


    "You tricked me!" Joe growled, realizing it was all a trap to get information from him.


    "me it on your foolishness." Debra shrugged. "Spill what you know, and I''ll let you go. Otherwise..."


    Seeing his reluctance, she stepped closer. "Trust me. Your master won''t save you. And the afterlife is far ahead. Why not treasure this one?"


    "Are you really letting me go?"


    "I''m a woman of my word. Tell me, and you''re free."


    "Alright. I''ll tell you."


    Joe leaned in and whispered something to Debra, who then arched an eyebrow.


    "Where do you think he keeps Drake?"


    "Orkgate."


    "Alright, you''re free to go."


    Pedro was surprised. "Are you sure about this?"


    "Let him go," Debra insisted. "He''s of no use to us now."


    The police removed Joe''s handcuffs, and he stumbled away. Marion asked, "Do you believe him?"


    "Not a word," Debra replied. "He''ll go straight to his master now that he''s free. He was close to Jeffrey and knew the core members of this cult. Follow him, and we find their base. Drake might be there."


    "Brint."


    "You knew my n all along. I bet you already have someone tailing him."


    "You came up with the n. I just know your heart."


    They exchanged a smile.

    Joe stumbled through the dark streets to a chapel.


    Inside, about 20 people sat on pews, heads bowed in prayer. The atmosphere was solemn and reverent.
