“Good,” Mr. White said, snapping his fingers. His assistant immediately stepped forward and handed over a bank card, which Mr. White tossed to Lucas.

“This is your reward for making the right choice. But if you’re not in court when the time comes, don’t bother thinking about your family’s survival.”

The next morning. Lucas rushed to the police station to give a detailed account of the incident. Combined with the other evidence Thomas had gathered, Hayley was finally exonerated and released.

When Bill and Dorothy heard the news, they hurried from Shadow Pack to meet her, arriving just in time to pick her up.

“Of course not!” I quickly hooked my arm around his, leaning against his shoulder like a child. “I was just worried about your health, that’s all.
