When Jackson got an info that he thought will be valuable, she called Grace to report.

"As per ordered by the director, she is to be transferred to the psychiatric department under Dr. Dorothy Wade's care as she await for the court's order."

"Dorothy, who? How come? What order?"

"I had an intel from the inside they said that Dorothy Wade is now a qualified to lead the activities that will be submitted to the psychiatric dept. she just finished her doctorate degree at Wellington University so that really gives her the boost. As for the court order, she's facing a lifetime imprisonment."

"Like she was just a secretary months ago, how can she? For what charges? I'm not letting that happen."

"Yeah like I was also curious on how fast can that happen in just a few months. She's been charged with murder. Ms. Righetti, I don't want my boss to be imprisoned like that. I don't believe she's that kind of person. How can we get her out of there?"

"My name's Grace. No need to be all proper with me. And we'll find a way to bust her out of there."

"No, please let me call you Ms. Righetti. I can't disrespect my boss like that. I don't even know if she really killed those 4 people and that little kid? No way she can do it. My respects for her are like on the skyline high. If it was a setup, that's the only time I'll believe she "did" it. How can we pull her out of this rabbit hole? Do you have any idea?"

"I have been discussing with some mates of mine and they all advised me to talk to the district attorney."

"Are you talking about Atty. Camila Cabello? She's the current district attorney."

"I'll contact her later. Thank you for your help, Pete."

"No worries. I'll send you her deets.", Peter said as he extended his hand to shake Grace's hand.

"Girls, you're here already. We better get started with work today. I have collected the crustaceans for your convenience and all we have to do today is shack them alive. Sounds good, yeah? And Lauren, Henry might need your help with the net outside it'll probably be best if you go off  now. He's waiting for you at the docks."

"Karla, you're gonna be good here? Karla?"

Camila seemed to be pretty occupied while evaluating how can she not mess up the shacking, she didn't bother responding when called by her witsec name.

"Hey, honey. Are you alright?", Fernanda diffidently asked while holding Camila's hand.

"What? Huh? I'm fine. I'm okay. What was that?"

"You spaced out, niña. Michelle's calling you."

"Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about these live ones. Haha I had a hard time dealing with the dead I mean, how hard can it be? There's totally no difference.", Camila chuckled nervously trying not to show the truth she's been hiding.

"Well, she'll be fine here, Michelle. I'll take care of her. No worries you'd be first on my list to call if anything comes up. We're gonna get along together. Right, niña?"

"Yeah. I'd be fine here, Michelle. I'll see you later if I ever finish here.", Camila laughed because she knows Lauren would've murdered her already just by calling her using her middle name. Camila repeatedly nodded as a sign that she'd be careful while they are both apart.

"Alright...okay. You two take care.", Lauren said before she turned her back on Camila and walked out of the place.

"So sweetie, tell me the truth there's no sense lying not with me." Camila noticed the sudden change in her speech pattern from a Southern accent to a Russian babushka tone.
