Francine shook her head helplessly. “I don’t know either…but it seems like Corinne planned her escape.”

“Escape? Why would she want to run away? Did we mistreat her?”

“I think she’s mad ’cause Jeremy kept her under house arrest…”

Greg frowned. “Just because of that? Who does she think she is? I forbid anyone to go look for her. Let’s see how long she can survive on her own outside.”

Pamela, who was clutching her chest weakly, sat up a little straighter when she heard what Greg said. “You old fool! What the heck are you talking about? Don’t you know Corinne doesn’t need us? She’ll never come back if we don’t look for her.”
