“Yes,” Haskell confirmed. “We’re going straight there.”
He noticed she was carrying a larger backpack instead of her usual small shoulder bag. A slight smile touched his lips. “It looks like you’ve come fully prepared for the
interrogation.”
Larissa hugged the backpack to her chest and patted it. “Of course. You can’t go easy on someone like him.”
After a moment’s thought, she added, “Though, given his lack of backbone, I doubt all of my tools will be necessary.”
Haskell didn’t dispute her assessment. “Either way, I’ve already ordered lunch to be delivered to the asylum. We’ll eat first and then get down to business.”
Larissa’s face lit up. “Perfect. We’ll need our strength for what’s to come.”
An hour later, they arrived at the Regal City Asylum, a quiet, slightly dilapidated facility located in a remote suburb. Since they had an appointment, the director and a nurse were already there to greet them and show them to the dining hall. After their meal, they were personally escorted to Thatch’s private room.
CRASH!
As they approached the door, they heard the sound of shattering porcelain from inside.
“George! I told you to call my son! Are you deaf?”
“Why isn’t he here yet? Did you even tell him I asked for him?”
Inside the room, the world–renowned psychologist, George, calmly observed the overturned meal tray without a hint of annoyance.
“Mr. Palmer,” he said with a slight smile, “getting angry like this every day is bad for your health.”
Thatch looked furious. He glared at George. “George, don’t you forget, I’m the one who hired you to treat my son!”
“But Mr. Palmer,” George replied patiently, “you are the one who currently requires counseling. Your son is psychologically sound and does not need my services. If you continue to refuse treatment, it puts me in a very difficult position.”
“My mind is perfectly healthy!” Thatch roared.” don’t need any treatment! I’m warning you, George, if you cross me, you’ll be dead the day I get out of here!”
Just then, Larissa pushed the door open and walked in. Both George and Thatch turned to

look.
The moment Thatch saw his son, his face lit up with crazed delight. He tried to leap from the bed, but two nurses held him firmly in place.
“Haskell! My dear boy! You’re finally here to see me! You’ve come to take me home, haven’t you? Look at me! I’ve become a wreck since I was brought to this place! I’m your father. How could you let me suffer like this?” Thatch cried, his voice filled with anguish.
Larissa shot back without mercy, “You remember you’re his father now? Where was that thought when you sent your illegitimate children to try and kill him?”
Thatch’s face darkened, and he glared at Larissa. “Don’t you spout your nonsense here! I never wanted to harm Haskell! He’s my most brilliant child! What would I gain from hurting him? That was all Draven and Valeria’s doing, a foolish act born of their own
resentment!”
Haskell had Crispin wheel him into the room.
“I’m here to give you one last chance,” he said, his voice flat. “When you swapped my brother with your bastard son, who did you sell him to?”
