"How are you holding up?" "Not well! I'm doing really badly, Brother. They did this to me! You have to get revenge for me!" "Revenge?" Cody let out a harsh laugh. Seeing Annie still not sorry for what she had done made him wonder why he had even made a deal with Sean. "Do you even realize what you've done wrong?" "What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything." Annie stared at Cody, shocked. She could not believe that her brother, who always spoiled and loved her, was not taking her side. He was questioning her, even though she was the one who was hurt. "Your sister is so badly hurt, yet you don't think you should get revenge for me?" "That's enough!" Cody's voice was sharp as he cut off Annie. "I don't want to fight with you, but what on earth did you do last night at The Majestic Lounge? Do you have any idea how hard I've been trying to find someone to help? No one's brave enough to step up. So, tell me, what did you do that made Charles get involved himself?" "Charles!" Annie's eyes widened in shock as the image of a man with icy, piercing eyes and a face devoid of warmth flashed through her mind. She looked at Cody with a blank expression, and Cody almost lost it. "Did you do something to make Charles mad?" "No. I swear I didn't!" Annie shook her head quickly. "Please believe me, Brother. I really didn't. I..." Tears were about to spill from her eyes. "It's true, I've met Charles before, but that was ages ago. He didn't care aboutat all! You have to trust me, Brother. I didn't even see Charles recently. How could I have made him mad?" Annie was so upset that she tried to sit up in bed, but the pain from her injury made her fall back down. She reached out desperately and grabbed Cody's leg. "Brother, I promise I didn't do anything to upset Charles!" "That can't be right!" Cody found Inel Annie's words believable, but he trusted Sean even more. Sean would not lie to him, and someone as important as Charles would not waste his ton them unless Annie really did something to upset him. After all, they were just nobodies to someone like Charles. "If you didn't upset Charles, then what did you do yesterday?" "I..." Annie started to say something but then stopped herself.
Cody was getting more upset by the minute. Annie was still keeping secrets at a tlike this. "How can I help you if you won't tellwhat happened?" "Brother, I swear I didn't mean for it to happen. I just wanted to give her a little scare, but I never imagined it would go this far. You have to help me," Annie pleaded, her voice trembling with fear.
"Take a deep breath and telleverything. Who is she? Cody asked. P.no

Cody's expression darkened as he stared at Annie. "That was incredibly reckless. Do you realize that could've killed her? Noelle, Noelle..." The nseemed oddly familiar to him. "You're saying you just wanted to scare Noelle? Then why is Charles after you?" "A snake?" X
