I sit in the car next to Winona. The day has gone from bad to worse, and worry is etched deep into her features. I can't stand it. She's so desperate to rid her life of him, she is prepared to kill him. Before I can start my car, my phone buzzes again, it's security. This day just keeps on keeping on. Surely some better news this time.

I answer it, my voice sharp. "Brennan." I really want to get Winona home to check on her mother.

"Sir, it's about Cass. She's left the penthouse. We tried to stop her, but she's on her way to the townhouse. We're keeping eyes on her, but she's kneed Gary in the huts, sir."

I close my eyes for a second. Of course she has, she's Winona's sister. "Alright, don't lose her. Keep me updated."

"No problems."

"Are Abby and Lisa okay?"

"They are inside, Sir."

I hang up and turn to Winona. "Cass left the penthouse. She's heading to your place. Lisa and Abby are in the penthouse."

Winona's eyes widen briefly, but she quickly nods, processing it. "They won't stop Cass. Is she okay?"

"Security says she's safe, but she's upset. She's determined to see your mom."

"Of course she is." Winona sighs, rubbing her temples. "At least she's heading there. We'll deal with it when we get there." "That's what I figured too."

"At least we know Abby is safe." Winona lets out a breath.
