Recognizing his error, the assistant quickly amended, Ill do it right away.
Thirty minutes later, Rita reappeared at the police stations entrance. She was escorted to the interrogation room.
After Lance left indifferently, Keilani was gripped by panic. She felt like she was hanging on by a thread, teetering on the edge as if she could plummet into an abyss any moment. She had no idea how long theyd keep her here or if shed end up behind bars.

Keilani inhaled deeply. She doubted Lance would put her behind bars.
He was likely trying to scare her in this way, hoping shed see the error of her ways. She convinced herself that hed come to pick her up later.
Her mind was in chaos. She decided to own up to her mistake when Lance came to see her again. The night went by with no word from Royce, as if he had abandoned her. It seemed Lance had persuaded him.
Curse that Lance! Since Bettie got away unharmed, why couldnt he just let her go?
Keilani was not reconciled and vowed to make sure her dad gave Lance a piece of his mind once she got out of here!

As Keilani plotted her revenge, the sound of the door opening shattered the silence. It couldnt be Lance. He had just left and wouldnt be back so soon if he were to scare her into admitting her mistakes. Was it Royce coming to bail her out?
Before the thought fully registered, Keilani saw an unfamiliar woman enter, crushing her hopes instantly. She shot the woman a sharp Look and then turned away annoyed.
At this hour, Keilani figured, the only woman visiting must be Betties mom.
Ritas eyes lingered on Keilanis face, her steps slowing unconsciously.
Memories from the past flooded Ritas mind involuntarily, making her feel like she was in a trance.
Seeing Ritas expression, Keilani scoffed, thinking it was all a show.
Rita snapped out of it, her expression complicated as she approached Keilani, pulled out a chair, and sat down. You must be Miss Keilani Wilson, right? Do you know who I am?
Whoever you are, its none of my business, Keilani replied with a sneer. Officer, who let her in?
Keilani, relax. Rita tried to soothe Keilani by using a soft tone as she spoke.
Get lost! Keilani said bluntly, Quit pretending to be a saint. Its nauseating.
Keilani
I dont want to talk to you. Are you going to leave now or what?
Keilani snapped.
Rita was rendered speechless momentarily.
I heard things werent smooth between you and Sabrina. Allow me to apologize on her behalf. Sabrina can be clueless sometimes. I fail to discipline her. If Im not wanted, its no biggie. I wont bug you again. Thats my piece. With that, Rita stood to depart.
Keilani froze and smirked. How noble. If you think Sabrinas wrong, make her apologize to my face.
