Panic surged inside Ivy as she paced the room.

Silas's eyes widened with concern. "What happened?"

"I don't know. It's Mason... Cheryl..." Her words caught in her throat, her chest

tightening.

"Easy now," Silas said gently, stepping closer. He took her hand and pulled her

close. "Breathe slowly and explain."

Ivy obeyed, taking a deep breath. She counted to ten inwardly before she told him

everything.

"Okay," Silas said softly. "Are we sure Mason is being serious? What if this is all

planned? I'm just saying." He shrugged.

She considered it for a moment, then shook her head. "Cheryl was ready to leave

town. She can't possibly be part of this..."

"Only one way to find out. Let's go to Walter Street," Silas suggested.

Ivy nodded and hurried to the bathroom. She took a quick shower and got

dressed. She and Silas, along with Bud, drove straight to the street.

Halfway down the road, Ivy's heart skipped. "Look, cops," she said, pointing, her

heart pounded harder.

As they drew closer, her panic intensified. A cab was parked in the middle of the

road, all its doors wide open. Police officers stood around it-some talking among

themselves, others directing traffic.

Silas reached for her hand and squeezed it gently. "Let's get closer."

She nodded and waited for Bud to park properly before she and Silas approached

the officers.

"Hello," Silas greeted the two nearest officers.

"Hello, Mr. Stone," one officer said, stepping forward. "This is a crime scene, sir.

You can't be here."

"Crime scene?" Ivy asked, her voice cracking.

Silas held her hand, trying to calm her. "What happened here?"

"A cab driver was found unconscious. We're suspecting a robbery gone wrong,"

the officer replied.

Ivy's stomach dropped. "A robbery? What about the baby?"

The second officer moved closer, his brow furrowed. "What baby?"

Her eyes widened. "There's supposed to be a baby in the cab!"

"Easy now," Silas said, but she was already spiraling. Her chest tightened, her

head spinning with dreadful thoughts.

"No baby was found at the scene," the first officer said.

"Maybe you've got the wrong street," the second one added.

Ivy looked around. This was definitely Walter Street. Had Mason lied? Or was this

the wrong scene?
