Lucys mind buzzed, her thoughts freezing for a moment.

She suddenly recalled that when Larry escaped, she had indeed taken him in.

Shocked, she turned to Celine.

Was it you? It was Celine who orchestrated Larrys release through Leo.

She had anticipated that Larry would run straight to the Tate family.

Celine met Lucys gaze with an innocent expression and a faint smile curling her lips.

I dont understand what youre accusing me of, Mom.

You dont owe me an explanation.

Save it for the authorities.

How dare you! Lucys voice cracked.

From the distance, Larty, how retrained by the police, let out a desperate cry.

I dont want to go to jail! Mrs.

Tate, save me! Please, save me! The crowds eyes shifted sharply to Lucy.
