Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1431

Colt couldn't wrap his mind around what he was seeing as he faced Sophie and Colby.

"Surprised?" Sophie asked with a slight smile, adding, "It's a shame, but your boss never planned on rescuing you."

Colt's head pounded, and as he took a few steps back, ready to bolt, he turned to see Officer Derick and the other cops, who should've been out of commission, closing in on him. The officers quickly overpowered Colt.

"Is this some kind of act?" Colt was stunned; he never imagined Sophie would pull off such a ruse to get him to spill the beans. His face darkened with realization.

Sophie continued, "You're just too naive, and that's why you revealed everything so easily. Colt, tell us what you know, and I'll let you go. But if you don't... who knows what might happen to you."

Seeing Colt hesitate, Sophie stepped closer and said, "You should know your boss isn't coming to save you. I'm your only shot here. Do you really want to gamble on an afterlife when you haven't even lived this life fully?"

Colt's resolve wavered, and he asked, "If I tell you, will you really let me go?"

"Of course," Sophie assured him with a smile. "I'm true to my word. You should know that by now. Just tell me what I need to know, and you're free."

"Alright, I'll tell you." Colt leaned in and whispered a few words to Sophie.

Sophie raised an eyebrow at his revelation. Standing up, she asked, "If I need to find Odie, where would your boss have taken him?"

"Summerfield," Colt replied without a moment's hesitation.

"My wife's a genius," Colby complimented.

Sophie looked at Colby and said, "You already knew what I was up to. I bet you had someone follow him."

"You came up with the plan; I just know how you think," Colby replied with a knowing smile.

To an outsider, this plan might seem suspicious. But Colt had been stuck in the police station for too long, and after the beating they gave him, his mind wasn't sharp. With his injuries, he couldn't see the bigger picture. That's how her plan sailed so smoothly.

Meanwhile, on the dark and empty streets, Colt staggered into a chapel. Inside, the place was solemn and peaceful, with about twenty people sitting on pews, heads bowed in what seemed like earnest prayer.
