“That idiot’s taking too long.” Frederick grumbled as he paced back and forth in his cell. “He said everything would be ready before lunchtime.”

The police had placed them in adjoining cells, which was a small comfort, though it was obvious they were kept together so they could be more easily watched. Still, it was better than being thrown in with the general prison population. 

“Tch… how long does it take to get a signature?” With each passing minute, Frederick felt time dragging on. He couldn’t understand why this was taking so long–he had always secured those kinds of signatures in seconds from his previous victims. 

“Relax, love,” Vanessa said optimistically. “He’ll be here soon with the good news. He’s probably just finalizing the paperwork to get us out of here.”

“Wait…” Vanessa called out, biting her lip. “Sorry… but can you tell us? What’s the news? Has our lawyer arrived? Are we being released?” she asked, hopeful. 

“Hm… well, it does have to do with your lawyer, but…”
