CHAPTER SEVENTEEN “OKAY, LET’S SEE WHAT we got here.” Sergeant Canary of the Broadville Police Department, leaned back in his chair, his potbelly strangled within the light-blue shirt. “You say Jonathan Wild kidn*pped your girlfriend?” “Yes.” Winston leaned forward in the chair. “He tried to d**g her before and wouldn’t let her leave.” Canary nodded while writing the information. “Why’d he do that?” “You’ve heard of him, right?” “Yes, his father was a brilliant scientist.” “Jonathan runs a cult.” “Well.” He twirled the pen between his stubby fingers. “He says it’s a group.” “It’s a cult, and he kidn*pped Dee to force her into it.” Canary squinted his steely eyes. “Hm-mm.” “Why are you looking at me like I’m crazy? I’m telling you he kidn*pped her. There’s no other explanation.”
