"You saved me?" Veale was now even more amazed.
"You bet your ass I did! And thanks to you, I also got dragged to a police station."
"A police station? What was that about?"
After Danby gave him an account of what had happened, Veale smiled embarrassedly, "I see. I'm sorry. I really am."
"That's it? All you have to say is you're sorry?"
"What else do you want from me?"
"What else do I want?" Danby smiled, narrowing her eyes.
Veale could tell at a glance that her smile was a wicked one.
He gave a shudder of fear, and then something occurred to him. "Can you untie me first?"
He was still bound.
His limbs were numb.
"I will untie you, but not now."
Veale's heart sank. He glowered at her. "What do you mean?"
"I mean…" Danby raised her cellphone again, her lips curling in a smile.
