Theo slowly lowered his weapon.
“Let her go.”
Victor smiled.
“You always were sentimental.”
“She's a child.”

Victor pushed Lily forward.
Theo moved.
Security rushed from both sides.
Victor tried to escape.

Within seconds, he was on the floor.
Lily ran into Theo's arms.
“Mr. Walker!”
“I've got you.”
Victor laughed.

“What?”
“The evidence is worthless.”
Victor pointed toward the computers.
“Every judge you will take it to has been paid.”
Theo smiled.

Every child.

“Records matter.”
Theo held up the files.

Margaret.
Sarah.
Claire.
Eli.
Lily.
And twenty-seven former children.
The truth had witnesses.
The internet had seen everything.
Police sirens filled the distance.
