    He has regrets now, but it will all be worth it. When he gets Cora back and he has the money, everything will be okay. They’ll have their daughter. And he’ll have two and a half million dollars to get his business on track again. The thought of taking money from his father-in-law makes Marco smile. He hates the bastard.

    ‘We think that Derek was supposed to return the baby when you brought the ransom money but didn’t, and Richard realized he’d been double-crossed. We think Richard tracked him down to the cabin that night and killed him. That’s when he saw the opportunity to make a second ransom demand for more money.’

    ‘Where was Cora after she was taken from the cabin? Who was taking care of her?’ Anne asks.

    ‘We stopped Richard’s secretary’s daughter in her car leaving the area just after Richard got the baby back earlier this morning. She had the baby. It turns out she’s got a bit of a drug problem and needed money.’

    It’s almost a relief now, realizing that she did it. Better that Cora be killed quickly by her own mother, in her own bedroom, with the familiar lambs looking on, than that she be taken by some monster and molested, tortured, terrified

    She must have hurt Cora. She must have killed her own baby. There is no other possibility that makes sense.

    Depending on how they killed her.

    Rasbach knows that he’s a cynic. He hadn’t started out that way.

    He says to Jennings, ‘Bring in the cadaver dogs.’
  • Lola Lobahas quoted6 years ago
    He has never been happier than he is right now. He wants to hold on to this moment, to remember it forever.
