THE FRANKLINS

CHAPTER 44… THE FRANKLINS

The next day…

Timothy arrived at the front of two tall black gates. He honked and the gates drew open for him to pass. When he came out of his car, Simone was already waiting at the side.

"Where is he?" He asked, tossing the key to one of the guys standing there.

"In the basement." Simone replied, drawing from a cigarette butt.

Timothy started to walk inside but stopped midway. He glanced at Simone over his shoulder and said, "Smoking kills. Desist." Before he continued walking.

Simone was stunned as he continued to walk behind Timothy. He quickly threw the stump away and stepped on it.

They reached a door in the basement of the house and Simone opened the door for Timothy to step in.

In the middle of the room, Zorro lay on the cold floor, clad in nothing but his briefs. His hands were bound before him and there was blood on his body.

Timothy turned to Simone who quickly held his hands up.
