Short on Time

Chapter 116

"It's Nora, our daughter," I tried to reason with Barry. 

"She lied to us, Ginger," Barry objected before turning on the other two children. "Did you two know about this?"

Esther held up her hands, "Lucia just told me that Nora ran to the past. I found her, but Nora asked me to let her be. She said she might have found a way to save Mum..."

"While Esther kept an eye on Nora, I did what every good reporter does," Lucia said. "Followed the leads and they led me to Thawne."

"I just can't believe she would lie this much," Esther said solemnly. 

"Since the first day she got here," Barry said. "She's being lying, and about Thawne! She knows what he did to us. To me. To my mother. I can't believe a word she says."

"We don't know that," I tried to reason. 

"Yes, we do!" Barry yelled. 

"We don't even know why she's working with him," Iris said. 

"Now the pressing question is not why Nora is working with the Reverse Flash," Sherloque said. "Maybe I can talk to her and shed some light on the matter." 

"I think you've shed enough light," Iris snapped. 

"Why, are you upset at me? What I should do? I should just I should not have told you?" Sherloque asked. 

"How long has it been since you suspected her?" I asked. 

"Since I arrived," Sherloque said. 

"Wow," Cecile muttered. 

"So you've been following this trail all this time and you didn't think to tell us about it until now?" Barry asked. 

"I don't know where this trail leads," Sherloque said. 

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding you," Sherloque said. "You don't come to a conclusion without facts. All the facts."

"Shirley, I think, uh, maybe you should just give us all a minute here," Ralph suggested. 

"What, you're mad at me for doing what a master detective does," Sherloque said angrily. "Figure out something that you cannot. I give you that translation. Your anger is misplaced."

"That went well," I muttered.

"I'm not apologizing," Barry said.

"We'll argue more about this later," I reminded Barry. 

"Look, whatever reason Nora didn't tell us, I don't think she did it maliciously," Cecile said. "Guys, even from here, I can feel how upset she is."

"All right, babe, you've been around Nora for months," Joe said. "You never felt that she was hiding something before."

"No, never," Cecile said. "Never." 

"Well, Thawne lied," Cisco said. "He was a master at it. 

"It stands to reason he must have taught Nora some of his same tricks," Ralph said. 

"Maybe," Esther admitted. 

"Maybe not," Lucia added. 

"There's gotta be some way to figure it out," Caitlin said. 

"There is," Barry said holding up Nora's journal. 

"I'm guessing this has everything from the day she arrived," Esther said as she looked at it. 

"Maybe before." 

"Read it," Barry said. 

"From the beginning."
