I finally had him, the man who had changed my life forever. This monster, Esca, had kidnapped me and my best friend so many years ago in an attempt to brainwash us into his slaves. When he'd escaped the authorities, I knew I couldn't let other innocent people get hurt. Helping stop Esca was the main reason I joined the force. And now we were alone. I should have been the one with all the power. He was handcuffed, beaten and helpless while I was physically superior and armed. But he still looked like he was in control and I was his lost pet coming home. I didn't want to pull the trigger, but did I have a choice? This might be our one chance to stop him for good. And yet I'm crying as he pushes his head hard against the gun, eyes daring me to do it. God forgive me...
