Blanca looked wildly around and found that she was surrounded by darkness. She felt her heart pounding faster. She looked at Mr. White in alarm. “What do you want?” Blanca asked, terror in her face.
Mr. White rose from his chair, and strode toward Blanca. While she saw the horrible look on his face, Blanca took an automatic step backward, but Mr. White took a step forward and put a hand on her shoulder. Blanca gave a little shuddering gasp. Standing in such a dark, dreadful, and depressing place, she looked extremely nervous.
At this moment, Mr. White leaned towards Blanca and said, “Relax, Blanca! I have known the truth. Let’s face it. It would be good for both of us.” They got so close that Blanca could hear his heavy breathing and could see the look in his eyes. His eyes were now frankly malignant, which made her frightened.
She was handcuffed and couldn’t fight back. After a short moment of reflection, she said, “Well, I’m tired, Mr. White. I refuse to answer your questions. And there’s no need to question me if you have had any proof.”
Blanca wanted to get out of here. Somehow, she realized something was wrong. She started to doubt the identity of this Mr. White. He didn’t act like a cop at all. His expression was unfathomable and his eyes were a bit creepy, just like Todd’s. At this thought, Blanca’s eyes widened with fear. Just then, Mr. White came close to her. He touched her cheek, his fingers lightly tracing the line of her cheekbone.
Blanca was shaken by his unexpected action. She felt a mixture of despair and panic, but she tried to calm herself down. “What do you mean by that, Mr. White? Why don’t we cut right to it?”
Upon hearing what she said, Mr. White began to laugh loudly. “Okay, now let’s get something straight,” he said. He leant forward and put his hand under Blanca’s chin, forcing her face up. He stared hard at Blanca for a moment and said, “Well, except for your pretty face, you are totally worthless, but why is Mr. Grant totally into you? That is a complete mystery to me.”
