It took Queenie fifteen to make up her mind about returning to Hiltonia. She made a trip to Lucian's room first before discovering he's not around. She didn't bother checking Lawrence's room which was just opposite Lucian's and headed towards Lucas'. "Lucas?" She called when she got to his door. She waited for a few seconds and when she got no response, she raised her hand attempting to knock a second time when the door swung open and he appeared. Thankfully, she hadn't leaned into the act fully or she'd have tumbled on the floor but she did lose her balance. "You could've just answered from inside." She sighed and glared at him. Lucas bit the insides of his mouth and chuckled, "It only took me thirty seconds to answer. What if I had left you for a minute?" "Trust me, I'd have barged in." She replied and found her way inside his room. She immediately noticed the papers which were scattered all over his table and his table which was switched on showing a report about a murder.

"So, what's the plan?" Pierce asked as he stopped his car meters away from the registrar's office. "It'll be a little suspicious if I just walk in there and demand to see a marriage certificate. So, I'll be the distraction while you go in and steal it." She replied, looking at him. Pierce scratched his nose awkwardly. "There's nothing wrong with the plan, is there?" She asked notifying his awkwardness. "No, there isn't. It's just how the dignified Pierce Verlice has been reduced to stealing documents in the registrar's office." He replied with a pained smile. "Just view it as one of life's crazy moments." Queenie replied with a laugh and tapped him on the shoulder, "There are some clothes for you on the back seat." The man nodded and extended his hand backward to grab it. He pulled on the hoodie, changed his shoes to a boot and covered his face with a mask. "I'll get down here where they are no cameras while you drive to the front of the office." He said and got down. He soon

Roxanne and Jessica sighed deeply. Nonetheless, they agreed and walked back to the car. "So what do we do now?" Jessica asked after a moment of silence. Audrey sighed deeply and looked outside the car, "There's no way to trace whoever it was that took Velon. But we can ask around the neighborhood for anyone that is close to Velon. At least, they have to be someone he was close to." "But first of all, we need to change our clothes so we can be more effective. I wouldn't want to go around the neighborhood drenched in dirty water." Roxanne agreed. Jessica nodded and started the car again. On their way, her phone rang. "Did you find Velon's whereabouts?" Queenie asked from the other end. Jessica placed the phone on loudspeaker as soon as she picked it. Upon hearing her question, Jessica turned to Audrey who shook her head slightly. She focused back on the road and replied, "We are on it. We will get him to you before you know it.""Alright." Queenie concluded and hung up. …Maile

"Ah, look who's back." Leonard was the first to say something as he glanced back at the couple with a smile. Although everyone could tell it wasn't a genuine smile, Leonard just didn't care. Queenie who had taken her daughter up walked past Chloe and Jeffery and walked up the stairs. She hadn't been to the house before but she could remember which room was which because the Verlice had built the house with the same pattern as the one they had built in Maile when she was a child. She remembered there was a room where she played with Pierce back then and headed towards it. She got to it to see elderly Mrs. Verlice reading goodnight stories to the two boys and by the looks of it, they seemed to be feeling drowsy. So instead of walking in, she held onto her daughter and walked down the stairs where she met elderly Mr. Verlice on the way. "Queenie." The man exclaimed when he saw her and smiled broadly, stretching his wrinkles. "I didn't know you were going to come." "It was an impro

Liam blinked his eyes repeatedly as he stared at Cole whose blood had formed around his head. He had gotten to Cole before the man realized what was happening. He had no idea how he did it, but he was thankful he was the one who made it out alive.The scene which he had been trying to bury for so many years flashed past his eyes. The maniac who bolted into an orphanage and shot down several children out of rage. He had vowed not to ever shoot a gun again as he was often reminded of that incident but most of all, he was afraid he'd lose control of himself and do the same thing again. "Follow the sound of the gunshot!" He heard behind him and instantly realized he was still on the run. He threw down the gun as he wasn't planning on killing any other person, then ran through the clear path. He found himself on a lonely road and despite being weak, continued running until he saw a truck coming towards his direction. The elderly man driving the truck slowed down upon seeing a haggard
