I steeled myself against what I was about to see. Jake had moved Dot and Joshua to the facility's basement under the pretense that things were getting too messy upstairs. If Dot and Joshua kept holding out, it would be morning soon, and Alec's staff would be arriving.
I'd seen Dot before. It wasn't pretty. If it was so bad now that the villainous couple had to be relocated. I did not doubt that what I was about to see was the thing nightmares were made of.
My hand on the doorknob, I went to turn the knob but was stopped when Alec put his hand on top of mine.
Alec said, "You don't have to do this. Eventually, Joshua and Dot will talk about whether to go in or not. Besides, what does it matter why Dot did what she did? Does it change anything? King will still be coping with an addiction. We'll still be taking the same steps to find a cure that we are taking now."
I nodded. Alec was right, but if I could order the torture of people, then I had to be woman enough to view the results.
