Back to the prison

Channing smiled, finally seeing how I was on the better-thinking ground than before. He patted my shoulders, "That would be a good start. Also, I wanted to let you know that Zelda was put into the prison by me so technically no law or court can free her unless I agree to it." 

"What?" I asked, getting more confused than I already was. 

"See, when an Alpha orders imprisonment without making a case with the police, it is not official rather a matter of security," Channing explained. "Like the eight followers of John who put into prison, it is registered in the prison case but not in the police case. Exactly the same with Zelda's case." 

My brows creased, trying to grasp the situation, "So you mean to say that Zelda would never get a court bail without your permission?" 

"True," Channing agreed immediately, "the police are not allowed to interfere. But Jack had quite some nerves."
