“If she is involved, then we have to deal with her!” Zacharias cursed himself. He had a meeting that day, and Imogen requested to stay back with Shirley. He gave her that permission, leaving a snake by Shirley’s side. “I’m sorry. This is my fault, too. I shouldn’t have let her go shopping with you.”
