Tessa said, "Why don't you go upstairs and get some sleep?"

"Alright," Stephen said gently.

Voices rose in the distance, causing Tessa to look over. The rescue team had finally arrived.

Melody was also awakened by the noise, and she came downstairs, rubbing her tired eyes. "What's that sound?"

Tessa looked at her and answered, "The rescue team is here."

Walking over, Melody immediately froze when she saw Stephen standing in front of Tessa. "This is?"

"He's..." Tessa trailed off momentarily before she finally said, "This is the man who called yesterday, Stephen Jacobson."

"Oh, he's the man from yesterday." Melody's voice rose, and there was a hint of curiosity in her tone. She then turned to give Tessa a look.

At that moment, Samson, who had tactfully stepped away earlier, walked toward them and greeted Tessa. "Good morning, Ms. Yates."

Tessa smiled in return. "Good morning, Mr. Lohan. Thank you for coming all the way here."
