Could Archie have asked Rowan to do the mural so his men could come in and out of the building without raising suspicions? Rowan was indeed too busy to watch the people Pareidolia sent to deliver food or check his surroundings. He wouldn't have known even if someone lied to him about it.
There was also this thing with the Hellhounds. Duke confirmed that Scott and Clive should know each other. Was it because Duke knew that the Bradshaw family might be asking the Hellhounds for protection against him? But didn't they kidnap Scott as well? Wait, they didn't even hurt Scott. Was that for show?
Rowan stepped back. No, that couldn't be possible. No, he had no reason to believe Scott right now. There was no way Scott was telling the truth. The family had done so many things for him, and everyone smiled genuinely his way.
"There's no way they're doing that to me!" Rowan screamed. With a sharp spin, Rowan faced the door and twisted the knob to leave.
