"I don't know," Sarah said thoughtfully. Henry had told him that it would be important for her to attend the hearings and the trial. Whatever look of respectability they could give him was crucial to them now.

"I'm going to need you through the trial," he said honestly, "and even more after that. I could be gone for a long time." Tears filled her eyes as he said it, and she got up to put the baby's dishes in the sink. She hadn't wanted her children to see her cry, or even him. But Seth followed her to where she stood. "Don't leave me now, Sarrie. I love you. You're my wife. You can't bail on me now." He was begging her.

"Why didn't you think of that before?" she said in a whisper as tears rolled down her cheeks, as she stood in the beautiful kitchen, in the house she loved so much. Her problem with their current state was that this wasn't about saving their house or their lifestyle, but about being married to a man who was so corrupt and so dishonest that he had destroyed their life and their future, and said he needed her now. What about what she needed from him? And their children? What if he was gone for thirty years? What would happen to all of them? What life would she and the children have?

"I was building something for us," Seth explained to her weakly, standing near her at the sink. "I was doing it for you, Sarah, for them." He waved vaguely toward their children upstairs. "I guess I tried to do it too quickly, and it all blew up in my face." He hung his head and looked ashamed. But she could see that he was manipulating her now, and just as he was willing to betray his friend, this was more of the same. It was only about him. The rest of them could burn.

"You tried to do it dishonestly. That's different," Sarah reminded him. "This wasn't about building something for us. This was about you, being a big shot and a big winner, whatever it took, at everyone else's expense, even the kids'. If you go to prison for thirty years, they'll never even know you. They'll see you once in a while for visits. For chrissake, you might as well be dead," she said, finally angry, instead of just heartbroken and afraid.

"Thanks a lot," Seth said, with something ugly coming to light in his eyes. "Don't count on it. I'm going to spend every penny I have paying for the best attorneys I can get, and appeal it forever if I have to." But they both knew that sooner or later the price of his crimes would have to be paid. This last time would lead the way to all the other times he and Sully had done the same thing. They were going down, together, and hard, and Sarah didn't want him taking her and their children with him, whatever it took.
