The Antidote was linked to Wayne Bailey's life; everyone was afraid to make a rash move... It indeed gave Charles Harrington an easy bargain.
He came today with a gambling mindset, and if he lost, he was a dead man!
With a slight force from Charles's hand, Anna Jadwin's grip loosened due to the pain.
The pistol fell to the ground, and with a flick of Charles's foot, the pistol flew back into his hands.
Charles weighed the pistol, "It's a good gun, pity it's out of bullets."
Anna Jadwin: "..."
In fact, Charles had suspected there were no bullets in the gun all along.
The Baileys valued Anna Jadwin too much to let her carry a dangerous gun without being aware of it.
And if she was carrying it with Wayne's permission, it was even less likely. What if the gun went off by accident?
So obviously, this was part of their designed plan from the start, a ploy of self-injury...
"Wayne Bailey, keep the Antidote safe, verify its composition before using it," Anna Jadwin said anxiously.
