Chapter one seventeen

"I have good news for you all." Jose had announced when he entered the room where his captives were tired. The last time he was there was the night before when he had come to check upon them. 

"Or maybe I should put it this way. I have news for you all. Whether it is good or bad is dependent on you." He corrected himself. Jessie was not looking at him, instead, his face was staring down at his feet like someone did not just come inside the room and start talking. Sandra and Melissa looked up to Jose to hear what he had to say. 

The three of them had red and puffy eyes from crying and Jesse has not gotten over the death of Matteo. Melissa was also shaken but not as much as Jesse. 

"I have decided to be merciful. So to show you all my mercy, I would like to let you know that I will be doing contrary to what I said yesterday about killing you one after another every single day." Jose walked around the room dramatically like a motivational speaker on a stage.
