NANG marinig nila ang malinaw at buong pag-aamin ni Amy ay hindi sila makapaniwala na aabot si Vivienne sa ganoong paraan para lang makuha nito si Jax.
"How could Viv have gone to this extent?" nanghihinang saad ni Lena. "How could she make up her mind to kill a child in order to gain what she wanted?"
Hindi umimik ang magkakapatid ngunit nang sandaling iyon ay binabalot nang matinding galit si Jax habang kuyom-kuyom ang kanyang mga kamay.
"How can she plot to kill my daughter?" nanggalaiting saad ni Jax. "I'll make sure she pays for this!" mariin nitong dagdag na kitang-kita sa mga mata nito ang matinding galit at handa rin itong pumatay nang sandaling iyon.
Hinawakan ni Lax sa balikat si Jax para pakalmahin ito. "I understand you're upset, Jax, but don't take the law into your own hands. Let the authority deal with this," pagpapakalmang saad nito.
Mabilis na binaling ni Jax ang kanyang tingin sa kanyang kapatid na may panlilisik. "How can I give the authorities to take this responsibility if they are not reliable in the first place?"
"Don't say that, Jax—"
"Lax, do you still believe what they said? You are well aware of the incompetence of the authorities in this foolish country! You should have realized what they did to that man!" mariing pagpupunto ni Jax.
Hindi nakaimik ang magkakapatid sa kanilang narinig dahil alam nilang lahat kung ano ang pinupunto ni Jax nang sandaling iyon.
"I don't want to waste my time waiting for those shits to finish their half-assed work! I'll make certain that Vivienne cannot escape the consequences of her crime!" determinadong saad nito. "So, please, do me a favor and look after my daughter and Anna."
Hindi na nagawang umangal ni Lax at ng iba.
"You don't need to ask it, Jax; we'll certainly do without you asking us a favor," saad ni Sax.
"Thanks."
Tinapik ni Lax ang balikat ni Jax. "Be wary. We don't know what Vivienne had planned beforehand."
"I am not the one who should be cautious; she is. She had no idea what I was capable of." Matapos sabihin iyon ni Jax ay kaagad umalis.
Hindi maalis ang pag-aalala sa mga mata ni Lax nang sandaling iyon kung kaya kaagad nitong inutusan si Tox.
"Tox, you should follow him. Make certain that he will not take any actions that would endanger him."
Tumango si Tox bilang tugon at mabilis na sinundan si Jax.
"Do not worry too much, honey. Jax will not act carelessly, especially now that he has a family to take care of," mahinahong saad ni Lena.
Napatingin si Lax sa kanyang asawa. "I hope so...but you don't know how Jax acts."

"Fuck that bitch!" malutong na mura ni Vivienne habang mabilis na iniimpake ang kanyang mga gamit para sa kanyang pagtakas. "Fuck! Fuck! I felt she was capable of doing the work I assigned to her! She's not like the others! How stupid of her!" nanggagalaiti sa inis na mura ng dalaga sa kanyang sarili.
Matapos niyang mag-impake ng kanyang mga gamit ay mabilis siyang nagtungo sa parking lot at sumakay sa kanyang kotse. Wala siyang sinayang na segundo at kaagad na pinaharurot ang kanyang kotse patungo sa airport. Hindi rin nagtagal ay mabilis din itong nakarating ng airport. Iginala ni Vivienne ang kanyang mga paningin para masigurong wala pa ang mga pulis na naroon para sa kanya'y humuli.
Napangisi ito nang walang naaninag na pulis at anino ng isa sa mga magkakapatid na Tuazon. "They are never going to catch me. Nobody could!" nakangiti nitong saad na may kasamang pagpalatak.
