After much deliberation, with a thud, he knelt before Tarquin, "Master Tarquin, I know who poisoned young Master Elijah!" Gideon gasped, shooting up from the couch!

The confidant turned to look at Gideon.

Even if I didn't speak up today, the things you've done couldn't be hidden forever. Sooner or later, it would've cout." "You..." Gideon grabbed his cane, ready to strike, but Axel immediately grabbed his wrist.

"Keep talking, spill everything you know! Axel, take him to the study upstairs." Tarquin rose to head upstairs, Axel hauling Gideon along. Lowell stayed behind to continue the interrogation.
