Back at the White Swan Bakery, Selena had lodged a police report. The police officers arrived and were retrieving the surveillance footage of the bakery. Thankfully, the bakery had a surveillance system in place.

Selena saw the scene showing Megan grabbing Juniper's hair and slapping the little girl. The disturbing sight almost caused her to faint.

The world was filled with man-eating beasts, but how could she forget that human nature was the worst of evils.

Selena had always been wary of human traffickers, but she totally overlooked the existence of monsters like Megan.

"It's her! It must be her!" She shot up and screamed, pointing agitatedly at the screen. The officer gestured at her to sit down. "Miss Yard, please keep calm. Let's finish watching the entire footage." The next scene showed Megan and Meredith leaving the bakery. About five minutes later, an unkempt man dashed into the bakery, grabbed Juniper, and ran out at lightning speed.

The footage was paused at the scene where the homeless man appeared. Of course, Selena noticed the homeless man at the time of the incident. She had also run after him but failed to stop him. Despite the graphic evidence, she suspected that the kidnapping had something to do with Megan and Meredith.

"Miss Yard, from the footage, we believe that we should focus on this homeless man. But we can't tell his features from the footage, so the only way to identify him is to look through the entire homeless population in the city." As he was speaking, he started dialing a number to coordinate the effort.

"No! You should start investigating Megan! It must be her! This definitely has something to do with her!" Selena bellowed with confidence.

"Miss Yard, why do you insist that she is implicated? Although Megan Yard was involved in a conflict with Juniper, the person who snatched your daughter is that homeless man! In the footage, the two women definitely left the bakery." The officer did not think that the kidnapping was connected to Megan and Meredith.

"Like what I said, it must be her doing!" Selena panicked. Based on Megan's character, after Juniper accidentally spilled juice on her, and considering her bad blood with Selena, she would not spare the mother and daughter easily.
