Medical Center.

After Anna came clean, Adam began taking her through a full range of examinations.

"Adam, tell me this isn't true!"

While Anna was undergoing an MRI, Dr. Montgomery, having received the news, came looking for him.

"I'm sorry, but it's true."

Adam pointed at Anna lying in the MRI Room and sighed. "See her? Mr. Deakin injected her with chloral hydrate and nearly had her buried alive. There may have been over a hundred cases like hers."

"No!"

Dr. Montgomery covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face, unable to accept the outcome.

"When Mr. Deakin was arrested, he didn't deny it. He directly explained his philosophy. He didn't think he'd done anything wrong—he only believed he was clearing away The Walking Dead."

Adam shook his head. "That was the real reason he never accepted other women all these years. His crimes required secrecy, and loneliness was excellent cover."

"Damn!"

After watching Dr. Montgomery leave, Adam turned back to the scan
