Lena rolled her eyes inwardly but managed to keep a smile on her face as she nodded earnestly, "Mom, Dad, I promise I'll take good care of Sis. You guys have nothing to worry about."

Tori added, "All the contact information was through burner phones, untraceable and dead ends."

Josefina's last glimmer of hope faded. If she ever got her hands on the mastermind, she wouldn't let them off easily.
