"Why do you always bring yourself towards that police guy, he doesn't really show a bit likeness of you." Dolora scrunches her face to Finley. "If I were you I'd give up and let them show him what he's missing. I should never say this but you're beautiful. Ugh! I said it anyway, but doing feel it, it won't last long 'cause I'm still the prettiest among us all." She suggested and blabbered at the same time while swaying a little Dolora within her arms.
"Do you know how hard the things I did just for him to notice me? His respect is on the highest level! He doesn't want to touch me, he doesn't want to kiss me, man! I think he doesn't even want to look at me!" She exclaimed while frowning real hard.
"Like I said a few moments ago, give it up, years of persuasion, nothing happens." Dolora gave her the look that says "believe me because I'm you older sister and you should listen to me".

•A MAN OF THE PAST•"Wow, I guess... you're damned then." Finley commented before sipping her shake."Huh?" Rig's tongue was caught by the cat from Finley comment, like his mind stopped for a moment.

Finley asked to Rig, as she leans on his shoulder. Automatically, he got tensed and clears his throat."Hmm... the search and rescue teams are maybe on their way. It always depends on how bad the situation is." He replied, looking away. Seeing those people hoping for an immediate rescue. Most of them are injured, bleeding and dusty."I'm hungry." She muttered, holding her stomach with a pout.Rig chuckled. "I thought Mrs. Hamilton made you a stew for breakfast?" He asked, totally teasing her. He knew that she was lying when she said that she was full.

He asked to Detective Won who's counting to calm himself down after blowing up to Walker's paper works."She's been relieved of duty after making a hole in the authority's business. She helped McMarrow for too many times in a row along with the other 6 officials and a superintendent. Amazing right? We had to detaine her. She
•A CHANGED MAN THAT DOESN'T CHANGE•"Anyone wants to welcome a lost member of your family?"Dolora sucked her breath heavily, seeing a man with a face that could scare anyone. He has his eye wide looking at her, just as wide as his grin while standing in front of her, just by the door."No!"
