Verna felt a pang of guilt.
Garland continued to play the emotional card. "If you don't let me out, I'll spill about when you wet the bed at 12. And when you were 13, you wrote a farewell letter during your first period. I still remember every word. I..."
"Stop." Verna's face darkened. "Be a gentleman, okay? If you dare say these things, you're dead."
"Verna, please, I really need to get out. I'm not Fermin. I want to live for myself. Debra and the others treat me like a friend. I can't just hide here knowing they're in danger. You understand me and will agree, right?"
"I..." Verna hesitated.
Just then, Bert stepped out of the room. Seeing his stern face, Garland tensed up.
"I was bored in my room. Just chatting with Verna."
"You think I don't know what you're planning? You want to go out? Not a chance."
Before Garland could argue, he added, "But I do have a task for you."
Garland scoffed, "You won't let me out, and now you want me to work for you? Dream on."
Bert's face darkened. "Fine! We'll ignore the situation in Seamar City now. Anyway, with Andrew there, nothing serious will happen."
