When Mason got back downstairs to the living room, Jason and Stan walked in with Deb.
That moment as Mason looked at her, he felt pity for her. She looked a terrible mess, compared to her usual neat-looking self. Her hair looked like a tangled mess, and her clothes stained with blood.
"Hey Deb," Mason said.
"Where is he?" Jason asked, referring to Jack.
"Upstairs in his bedroom," Mason pointed up.
Jason who was holding Deb left her arm and started walking towards the stairs.
"Mason, I'm truly sorry," Deb said in a low tone, her eyes filled with tears.
Mason slowly shook his head. "No Deb, you are not. You are only sorry because you got caught."
Mason walked past her and went to meet Stan. And they both went to a corner of the living room.
"What are we going to do about them?" Stan asked in a hushed tone.
