The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 921

Harry had finally confessed—out loud, no less—and the thrill mixed with shock left Hank almost lightheaded.

Harry had killed nine people, but the cops had only ever recovered eight bodies.

Jason had called it: the very first victim was still missing because Harry had hidden the body.

The game wasn't over yet. Hank kept up his performance, still acting like he was writhing in pain.

Truth was, Harry’s knife hadn’t even broken skin. The blood in Hank’s mouth and soaking his shirt was all fake. He and Jason had planned it all out, knowing Harry’s twisted methods. Hank was wearing a protective vest under his clothes—something straight out of an old detective movie. The blood? Just movie prop stuff.

It was all a setup to make Harry confess on tape. Hank had a discreet earpiece with Jason listening in and recording everything from a van nearby.

This was the kind of evidence that would finally bring Harry down.

“You’re insane,” Hank whispered, his voice shaky with fake fear. “You killed nine people? But the police only found eight bodies. You’re lying. Are you just trying to scare me? The cops are too good to miss a killer like you.”

Harry, already on edge, snapped. “The cops are useless. I told you—I killed nine!”

Hank kept the pressure up. “Then where’s the ninth body, huh? If you want me to believe you, you gotta show me. Otherwise, for all I know, you’re just making this up.”

Harry blurted, “It’s under the concrete at my fish stall.”

Hank’s heart jumped. He finally had what he needed. Dropping the act, he got up and let out a huge sigh. “Man, you finally cracked. I was about to lose it!”

Pretending to be a wounded woman, while covered in fake blood, had tested Hank’s acting skills to the limit.

Harry stared at him, dumbfounded. “Wait—you’re fine? But I stabbed you!”
