Thaddeus and Evadne exchanged a look of shock.
"What did this guy look like? Do you remember?" Evadne pressed on.
"Of course."
Lily's brow furrowed deeply, "He was quite handsome."
Thaddeus and Evadne were speechless. They certainly hadn't expected that particular detail.
"I'm not joking. The guy was really good-looking, the kind of face you don't forget."
"Anything else? Any other distinguishing features?" Evadne prodded, unwilling to let it go.
"He looked a little familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before."
Lily pounded her forehead with her fist, trying to force herself to remember more. Evadne quickly stepped forward, catching her wrist gently, "It's okay; it's okay if you can't remember. Don't hurt yourself."
Lily looked at Evadne steadily. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "I remember now, he looked a bit like Aaron!"
Evadne was taken aback, "Ah? Well, he must look good then."
Thaddeus remained silent. Was this really the time to be discussing looks?
Lily's trembling hand rested on her injured leg, still shaken, "That assassin must have been through some brutal combat training. His skills could match some of the mercenaries abroad.
I don't think Gary has the resources to find someone that skilled, but if it wasn't Gary pulling the strings, then how did that man get into the heavily secured Fairhaven Group premises and into the safe room that only Barry knew about?"
"It must have been an inside job at the Fairhaven Group." Thaddeus' eyes darkened, "Gary is one of them, and maybe Barry is lurking in the shadows."
Evadne felt a chill down her spine, her eyes reddening. The whole Fairhaven Group, from top to bottom, wanted to ruin Marilla, they were all her enemies!
She couldn't tell if they despised Marilla for being different, or if they couldn't stand to see Jareth happy.
"Mr. Abernathy, Ms. Ashbourne, I ask you for just one thing."
Lily, her body wracked with too much pain, quivered, holding back tears, "Please, help Mr. Fairhaven and his wife. Don't let them be separated. He can't live without her."
Evadne moved to support her, fearing she might collapse.
