Lynn rushed straight home. The front door was unlocked, but the house was empty.

Gordon and Betty should have been home by now. It was late–where could they have gone?

The place was quiet, lights still on. She called out a few times. No answer. She tried their phones. Straight to voicemail. Panic started creeping in as she stood there, not knowing what to do next.

Her mind raced, and the one person who could actually help her right now was Lucas.

But then…

She couldn’t shake the memory of Trevor mentioning Lucas‘ commendation. Her hands curled into fists.

Swallowing her pride, she called Trevor. “Where are they holding my brother?”

He gave her an address and told her to come find him.

Surprised he’d been so straightforward. Lynn got back in the car and drove straight there.

Trevor studied her face as she walked up. Tense. Cold.

She’d changed out of her wedding clothes, and without makeup, her face was bare and drawn with worry- nothing like the glowing bride from earlier that day. All the joy was gone, replaced by something harder, like she’d aged years in just a few hours.

“Where is he?”

“I can’t tell you that. But I can tell you this.” Trevor pulled her aside, keeping his voice low. “They won’t let you see him. He’s in federal custody now. Your brother turned himself in, and things are really sensitive right now. You and your parents need to stay home and be ready–they might come asking questions at any time.”

Lynn just stared at him, unable to process that Ruben could’ve done what they were saying.

“Your parents were already questioned yesterday. They didn’t tell you because they didn’t want to ruin your wedding.”

Trevor kept going. “Look, from what I hear, he’s cooperating. Helping them build a case. That usually works in your favor come sentencing. You should talk to Anthony about it.”

Tears spilled down her cheeks before she even realized she was crying. “What does Anthony have to do with any of this?”

Trevor’s voice softened. “Anthony’s alive because your brother hid him. Back then.”

That was when it hit her–Anthony hadn’t shown up today either. They must’ve picked him questioning too.

She couldn’t say it.

“Hard to say.” Trevor didn’t want to speculate.

He noticed Lucas hadn’t come with her. Lucas had called him earlier, and from the look on Lynn’s face. things hadn’t gone well between them.

Lynn wiped her eyes. “Is that what you meant when you talked about Lucas‘ commendation?

“Yeah.” Trevor could see how wrecked she was and quickly added, “But he only asked me to look into the coastal task force’s files. He wanted information about your brother. He wasn’t planning to report anything. He must’ve already known.”

Lucas had known. And he’d done nothing. In the end, it was Ruben who’d walked in and turned himself in.

He’d been trying to wait until after the wedding. But he’d run out of time. The feds were already closing in.

Lynn felt like her legs were filled with concrete. She stood there, rooted to the spot, going cold all over.

“What am I supposed to do now…” Her voice was hollow, her eyes empty.

Gordon and Betty were gone. She’d jumped to conclusions about Lucas. And now she had no idea what to do.

“Lucas has been working behind the scenes. Greasing wheels, calling in favors. But you know how this works–connections only get you so far. The feds make the final call. Go home, get some rest. Just wait it

out.”

Working behind the scenes?

Then why hadn’t he said anything?

Tears came faster now, uncontrollable. She hadn’t even given him a chance to explain.

Trevor left, careful not to overstep. He’d already said more than he probably should have.

Lynn drove home in a daze.

She didn’t notice the car following at a distance, keeping just far enough back.

When she got back to the empty house, the silence pressed in on her. She sank onto the couch in the living room, hugging a pillow to her chest.

She didn’t bother turning on the lights. She wanted to talk to someone but couldn’t bring herself to reach

out.

Tonight was supposed to be her wedding night.

If anyone found out how it actually ended, she’d be a joke.

Then a shape appeared in the doorway.
