(Arata)
My heart couldn't bring myself up to believe Karsten could be behind what Andy had shown me. But it was true, so much had begun in my life from the moment he had stepped into it.
I knew there was a dark side to Karsten, the one he kept under wraps and refused to bring to life. He had bloody beaten the person who had tried to kidnap me.
But could he stoop so low to kidnap a child?
No, I refused to believe that. He can't be the bad guy. I can't just be betrayed by two men in a single year. That would set up as some kind of record and I swear I would never trust an unknown man again.
Still, there were things he needed to clear up with me, like how I was hired and why.
I waited for his answer and he tried to take a step to bridge the gap between us before answering.
I held up my hand, pausing him.
"Answer the question from where you stand, Karsten."
