Old Mr. Sims sighed but said nothing. He slowly turned around and, with the help of his walking cane, walked back into the prison he had built for himself.

After escorting Old Mr. Sims back to his office cell, Keira exited the building, only to see Holly with red-rimmed eyes standing there, watching them. "Keira, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Keira patted her shoulder. "You never have to apologize to me."

Holly wiped her tears. "But you shouldn't have stood up for me. Do you know that many people in the Special Division were cursing at you just now?"
