"Three days. I'll do my best to find her, okay?"

Yvonne stood up. "Fine. Three days. Bring her to me."

Adelle said she'd try, but Yvonne just assumed she would deliver.

Xander stood up as well, slipping his shiny silver knife back into his pocket. He wrapped an arm around Yvonne and started leading her out.

Adelle: "..."

Derek: "..."

Completely unharmed? They hadn't even caught a glimpse of Susanna. Where were they supposed to find her, let alone guarantee she was untouched? They left.

Derek was so angry his chest hurt. "Why did you agree to that? We don't even have her!"

Adelle said, "We had to keep her calm. You saw who she brought-Mr. Schultz was with her, and Miguel's coming too."
