"Come on, put the madhines over there... Yeah, that mirror by that wall. No no no! Bring that table right over here in the middle..." Raya shouted out directions to the movers who were bringing in the newly bought equipments after the entire place has been cleaned out.

Sue, as well, is telling the people where to put things and not. It was her first working place so she knows the place pretty well even if some minute details have been added so as to take all of them in as they work in their individual spaces, but her former office is still her office anyway, locked and untouched.

After a long day's work, they all settle down on the new chairs and take deep breaths.

"I hope you were working on wasn't destroyed?" Sue asks them all

"Not at all. Thankfully though, every other one except that one was actually ruined in one way or the other but it's all fine. We'll figure it out from here. You've been a really big help boss..."

Sue smiles at her, tired as well.

That will make such beautiful additions to the table at the reception." Holly urges, shaking DarleneJean shakes her head. "I don't know why you'd want drapes."Darlene laughs. "I used to be the one going crazy over shopping all those years ago. Seems like boredom has made you take it away from me. Those drapes are not our work, and drapes are not meant for tables."Holly rolls her eyes. "Of course, I'm aware. But they are beautiful all the same. Can't we get them for something? Maybe even if it's just draped all over the bridal table?""Come on. You're getting too much adrenaline on this thing." Darlene manage to pull her away but Jean takes a picture of it.

She managed to mention the name of a doctor when she fell so he's the one we came to meet... I can't handle this alone.

It's just afternoon, I'll take the fastest flight and be right over. Don't be worried Mum."Holly manages a small smile. "Thank you.

"I can't believe you managed to pull that off! A whole plane just for me? I was already contemplating my next move when the intercom buzzed - maybe I would have just bought a ticket for the next flight and waited to see what happened.

I am Doctor Harriet."Holly stands up and shakes her better. "Nice to meet you. She specifically mentioned your name before she passed at the mall."Harriet looked over Holly's shoulders at Jean who's on the bed. "Yes. About that, I'd love to speak to you about that. Can I talk to you alone?"Holly smiles. "It's completely fine to say it here. You'll just be making me repeat it again to them. She..." Holly points at Sue, "is my daughter and Jean's grandchild, and the handsome man beside her is her fiancee and my son in law so they have a right to hear what's going on."Harriet nods and then shrugs.

Everyone had eyes on her and others, ready to make another lesson of anybody who tries to try shit with them as an individual and as a family as a whole.For a whole month, they visited every amusement park, every theme park, every Five Mi

"What really happened here?""They both had kidnapped my daughter and sister. I wanted to teach them a lesson but I didn't even get to. Brian got his hand shot off by Angela while she fell through that window all on her own. I guess the guilt from shooting her partner was too much but I don't think she'd want to die so the falling must have been an accident." He explains, meeting the Chief's eyes very bravely and squarely."Hm, I see. So that's what happened. We'll get the body to the morgue while the man will be taken to the hospital. I never thought I'd see a severed hand like that, it looked so roughly pulled or torn apart. Do you know about that?"Ford shakes his head.

I really owe you a lot."Tanya smiles widely. "You don't need to thank me. It's what any human would have done,
