CONE'S POV
In all the years we've been together as lovers, I've never seen Sapphire cried as much as she did today. Her face has gone pale from exhaustion, but all I can do is watch because I'm too angry at her.
"If you're done crying, start talking.” I say to her in a cold voice. “Why did you killed the prisoner?"
"I'm just following my orders." Sapphire replies as she wipes her tears and sniff.
"That's what I am asking. Who the f**k ordered you to kill my prisoner?”
"All I know is that she goes by the name Pinkett. Almost three months ago, she came to the courtesan house looking for me. It was the first and last time I saw her physically, although I've been using burner phones to communicate with her. I need your help, Cone. Please don't tell anyone about this."
I'm sober right now
