“Ma’am, I’m Lieutenant Carlson, and these are my colleagues. Do you mind if we talk inside the office?”
I nodded and entered, only to find Dunn standing and scowling in the corner.
The room was already packed, with Carlson and one of the military men inside, when the former nodded toward the door.
“Bring him in.”
The door opened again, and Leo stepped inside.
The moment I saw his face, I went pale.
My son looked terrified!
“Bring him in.”
Leo’s eyes moved from the men… to me… and back again.
“Mom?” he said, his voice already shaking.
I rushed toward him. “Hey, hey, it’s okay. I’m here.”
But he didn’t relax.
