He was only able to say it because he believes it.
“You’re fucking deluded,” Parker snarls. “Where is she sleeping?”

I don’t say it, but I know it won’t work. The spell is a little vague, and that means he gets to be vague with his answers. As long as they’re true, in his mind, he can be evasive. There’s nothing we can do about that.

“All we could get out of him is that she’s in Wolf Creek, which the map would agree with.”
It’s obvious even before I see the knife in Parker’s hand that Jake has been tortured.

It kept her in town where we could find her.
“You wanted us to find Shannon.”
