At the police station.
"I didn't push her."
Sherilyn sat there, her eyes red and filled with despair, like a lost child, murmuring to herself. "I didn't even touch her. How she fell, I really don't know..."
"Sis," Galen nodded earnestly, "I know, I believe you didn't!"
Edgar chimed in, "Sherilyn, we all believe you!"
"Believe me?"
Sherilyn slowly lifted her head, staring blankly at them, "Why would you believe me?"
"Sis?"
"Sherilyn?"
Galen and Edgar were taken aback. What was happening with Sherilyn?
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Sherilyn closed her eyes, raised her hands to her head, and shook it in agony. "You won't believe me! Nobody will..."
She had gone through this before! That year, Caroline Bennett fell down the stairs, resulting in a miscarriage. The baby was gone! Just like now, she and Caroline were the only ones there! Again, without any solid proof! No one believed her!
The Johnson family didn't send her to the police, but they 'banished' her to Crestwood! Those four years at Crestwood, the hardships she faced were almost as harsh as imprisonment!
"Sis?" Galen spoke anxiously. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to convince our family back home, you won't be in trouble!"
Edgar added, "Yeah, Sherilyn, with Edwin Morris defending you, everything will be fine!"
Suddenly, Sherilyn's head snapped up, her eyes blazing, "When can I get out then? Jenna is waiting for me at home!"
Galen and Edgar exchanged nervous glances, falling silent.
