In the heart of the Costello family mansion, Polly was dragged before Sophie by one of Colby's men.
"Don’t move!"
Polly's face was ashen. The moment she saw Sophie, she lowered her head, filled with panic and confusion.

"Ms. Sophie… I'm really sorry, but I hope you can understand me. I couldn't just let it go. I had to be by Odie's side to gain his trust. I wanted to find evidence of his crimes!"
"And did you?"
"I..."
"You've been around Odie for a long time, haven't you? Does Odie trust you? Or have you gotten close to the core of the Minton family?"
"I..."
