“I know that already!” Tommy huffed, sounding proud and a little impatient.

“And except for Ms. Jensen, don’t let anyone from the Guzman or Quinn family see you,” Barry reminded him, worried Tommy might do something stupid on his own. “Ms. Jensen’s safety is on the line…”

Tommy rolled his eyes and said, “You’re way too naggy.”

Barry just stared at him, speechless.

He thought, ‘Forget it, whatever.

Even if Tommy isn’t the most reliable when it comes to talking, Barry knew he could count on him when there was real work to do.

After a few more warnings about staying safe, Barry hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, Rebecca headed straight home. Jessica looked a bit surprised to see her so early. “You didn’t grab dinner with Ms. White, Attorney?”

“She had another dinner appointment,” Rebecca answered, tossing her keys aside while glancing around. “Where’s my mom?”

“She took Samuel out,” Jessica replied with a big yawn, clearly only just getting up. “She said she was meeting some people and told me I didn’t need to wait for them to eat.”

Rebecca sat down and poured herself a glass of water.

Jessica caught the odd look on Rebecca’s face and gave her a second glance. “So, was it smooth sailing or did things go sideways?”

Rebecca paused, choosing her words carefully. “It went okay.”

Jessica raised an eyebrow. “Then why do you look like the world’s about to end?”

“Turns out you were spot on,” Rebecca said bluntly. “Andrea’s whole ‘savior‘ story? It’s fake. She made the whole thing up.”

Jessica was floored, jaw practically dropping. “No way!”

She shook off her sleepiness, suddenly alert. “Wait, you’re absolutely sure?”

Rebecca put down her glass. “Yeah. I heard it straight from her. She admitted everything.”

She told Jessica all about the conversation she’d had with Andrea in the car, then shared her own thoughts. “What I’m still not sure about is how Andrea knows that person, and what’s really going on between them.”

But the biggest issue is Jeffrey–how did Andrea manage to trick him?
