THE TAPE

Chapter 49 - The Tape

"McCarthy just called me; he needs my urgent assistance," McCarthy said, impersonating Gerald.

"What happened to your voice?" Matilda inquired.

"Nothing. Stay away!"

Matilda hesitated, pondering over the situation. The voice sounded peculiar, and 85% of her didn't believe it.

"Do you know what I want from you?"

McCarthy was also perplexed by her manner of speaking. He knew the relationship between his mother and Gerald wasn't to this extent.

"Aren't you still unwell?"

"You made me sick. Come here."

As McCarthy approached, he suddenly bolted away, leaving Matilda behind. He quickly hopped into a car without even fastening his seatbelt. He sped off towards the location, his mind filled with questions about the role he had played as Gerald.
