He then explained further, “Thank goodness Archie was there to defend me, and we were able to return home!”

Seeing that Benny finally told the truth, Archie decided to shoulder the blame himself. “If anyone is to blame for this, it’s me, Mommy. I was the one who wanted to bring Benny out.”

Roxanne’s gaze darkened. “Why would they chase after you? Were they trying to rob you?”
