As they moved down the road, she thought about going directly to Don and Lori's for a split second. Given the dramatically different slopes of the driveways, though, she was worried about their ability to make it to the elderly couple's property or the open wound Mimi was suffering from. As the woman started to fade, though, her weight became heavier beneath Georgia's arm. She was aware that something needed to change. The time had come for the conversation that Georgia had been trying desperately not to have.

"I need you to stay with me, Mimi. Why don't you tell me what happened? I didn't see Holden with you..."

The woman shook her head. "He is gone. I know he is..."

"What do you mean?" Georgia whispered.

"I told him not to be messing around with that officer and his kin, but whenever Holden sees someone that needs it, he is going to make sure that he gives it to them. He was just goading trouble."

"Are you telling me the officer from town did this to you? Where is Holden?"

"Not him, not ever him in person. No... He might be the ringleader, but that son of a bitch is too lazy to actually get his hands dirty. He's got a cousin, Leroy. He is trouble and always has been. It was him and a few of his buddies trying to make an example out of it. He didn't like that Holden was doing what was right."

"Did they... Where is Holden now?" Georgia asked.

As the words came out of her mouth, her voice cracked. She had to fight back tears at the mention of the man's name. She could have seen a future with him, one that would have brought them both joy. That had been ripped away, though, and she didn't know how to survive it.

"He tried so hard to defend me, but I saw him go down. I tried to run but wasn't fast enough. I don't know what they did with his body or if he is even still alive, but this cruel world taught me early on that you should always assume the worst. There is no way they let him go."

Instantly, hope jumped to life inside of her. Mimi didn't know if her son was dead or not. All she knew was she had seen him go down. That alone didn't spell fatal disaster for Georgia. Even if it was a slim chance, with the possibility of Holden alive, she would stop at nothing to find him. She struggled to hide her irritation that Mimi hadn't led off with the fact she hadn't actually seen her son being murdered. Instead, Georgia had assumed the worst. Grinding her teeth as they started up the driveway, she yelled out for her sister, but they were still too far away to be heard.

"So, Holden stood up for the villagers, and the law went after him?"

"More or less," Mimi stammered. "They're monsters. They won't stop until they've made everyone in this area bend to their will.
