After Boris and the others left, many residents came to Willow Creek Clinic to express their congratulations. They even told Keisha they would always support them. The locals hadn't dared to come earlier because of the crowd gathered at Titan Alley, but they finally found their opportunity now.
When the hundredth-day celebration ended, Keisha asked Knox to reserve tables at his taco place. The whole group then headed there for lunch.
Meanwhile, as Kate followed the dispersing crowd away from Titan Alley, she pulled out her phone to call Nancy. Before she could dial, several uniformed officers surrounded her.
The lead officer addressed Kate, "We're from the Titan Alley Police Station. I'm Finley Landson, badge number 8951."
Kate's expression changed as she retorted impatiently, "What's this about? Since when do police officers stop people at random? Show me your identification!"
Coming from Creybia, she wasn't some country bumpkin who would get flustered at the sight of a few officers. Finley showed his badge and asked, "Do you know Keisha Brentford and Sharon Jones?"
Kate immediately shook her head. "Never heard of them!"
Eddie quickly chimed in. "Right! We're from Creybia, so why would we know people from this backwater?"
Though Keisha now had protection, she had offended Boris. They wanted to make sure her affairs had nothing to do with them.
Finley's brow furrowed slightly as he asked again, "Are you sure you don't know her?"
"Absolutely!"
Kate and Eddie firmly denied knowing Keisha.
"Take them in!" In the next moment, Finley and his colleagues produced their heavy handcuffs.
"Damn it! We haven't broken any laws! What right do you have to arrest us?"
Kate exploded in rage as she struggled frantically. But despite her fierce demeanor, she was no fit for the officers and was subdued and cuffed.
Kate would not quiet down. She continued to curse and yell, "This is police brutality! I'll file a complaint! I'll report all of you! Do you know who I am? I'm connected to Creybia's inner circle. You can't touch me!"
Eddie maintained more composure since he was afraid of making things worse. He didn't resist the handcuffs, though his tone remained arrogant. "What authority do you have to arrest us?"
"Ms. Brentford filed a report through Ms. Sharon Jones about an emerald pendant you stole. You need to come with us for questioning!"
Finley stated coldly, "You claim not to know Keisha or Sharon, yet you stole from them. Who else should we arrest? Take them away!"
At Finley's command, Kate and Eddie were escorted to the police car.
...
That afternoon, everyone said goodbye to Keisha and left after lunch. But Knox, Daniel, Melina, and others stayed behind.
Their businesses were on Titan Alley anyway, and they often visited Willow Creek Clinic when they were free. So they were doing the same today.
Seeing that no patients had arrived, Dunstan and Jamie brought out refreshments. Everyone then gathered in the main hall for coffee and snacks.
