Outside the police station.
Lucas and Sunny sat in a car while Xante and Aaron were in another. They were all waiting for Corinne to come out.
Inside the Riveras’ car, Sunny looked at the time on his sports watch and became a little anxious. “It’s been an

check on them!” He reached out to open the car door.

“You should worry about your problems for now.” Xante gestured in a direction outside the car window.
Aaron looked over and saw a taxi driving up to the police station entrance. Annie got out of the car first, followed by
Marcus. The two of them then walked together to the door of the police station.
Aaron immediately got out of the car. He walked over slowly and stopped in front of them.
Annie and Marcus were surprised to see Aaron there.
Marcus snapped back to his senses and greeted his boss respectfully. “Mister Aaron.”
