Once Drake was taken away, Marion asked, "You really figured it out?"

"Nope. I was bluffing." Debra shook her head. "Drake hid it so well that even the Illuminati couldn't find it. That's why they grabbed him. They had no other choice. Honestly, the safest thing for us is not to know where it is. Otherwise, we might be next on their hit list."

"But you told him you figured it out."

"I was just messing with him. If I could do that, that'd mean I'm smarter than the entire Illuminati."
