“I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Just stop!” he begged. “The man is incredibly mysterious. He’s been coming here for about three months now, always on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. He brings a group of intimidating-looking men every time. I only go into the room to deliver drinks. That’s all I know!”

“Late in the evening. He stays for one or two hours at most before leaving.”

Emily released his arm, her gaze piercing. “If I find out you’ve lied to me, you’ll regret it more than you can imagine.”

“I swear on everything! I wouldn’t dare lie to you!” he stammered, clutching his throbbing arm.

It happened to be Wednesday, the perfect opportunity. "You're taking me there," Emily demanded, her tone leaving no room for negotiation.
