"I need you to tell me the reason why you did what you did," I say to Michael.
I'm still in the cell. The rest of them have all left so I decided to use this opportunity and privacy to talk to my son.
"You kept me hidden from the world for years!" He says.
"I let you out when you were 18. And you know the reason why I did that." I say.
"You can't punish me because of your mistakes. And I do not even look like that stupid king of a father of mine. Nobody would have known it was me."
"I know I made huge mistakes in my past and I'm very sorry. I had no right to hide you away either. I hope one day you'll be able to find it in yourself to forgive me."
"This isn't about you Mom. One of the reasons I was closer to Emaine than you was because whenever I was with her she'd always let me play with kids my age."
"Emaine tried to kill you!" I say.
"How do you think that made me feel when I found out!"
