No doubt a cousin's agreement the two came to at some point. Steve handed her a camera and then got into the van, abandoning her with the rather intimidating Don.<span style="color: #0080FF"><span style="font-style: italic">"Princess, your carriage is awaiting for you. Does your high-born was to sit in the rear or in the front?" </span></span>Mary-Ann shot Don a dirty look as she got into the front seat in a huff.<br/><span style="color: #FFBF00"><br/>"Pompous...arrogant...no good...planned this..."</span>Mary-Ann was muttering under her breath when Don got into the car, and she crossed her arms over her chest.<span style="color: #FFBF00">"Don't think that you can fool me. I know you planned to get me alone on purpose," </span>Mary-Ann accused, her eyes narrowed in suspicion at Don.<span style="color: #FFBF00">"Flirting was fun, but it's not going anywhere--I just want you to realize that,"</span>she informed him. Perhaps she was being a little arrogant in thinking that he was trying for something, but it was better to be safe than sorry.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FFBF00">"Anyhow, let's go so we can hurry up and set up. Who knows when they'll really show up. I'm hoping that with Lea and Carlos stuck at the hospital for a bit, then the chief and commissioner will have their focus else where at the moment--but there is no guarantee,"</span>with that, Mary-Ann buckled her seat belt and checked her email on her phone. She had received an email from an address she did not recognize and she hesitated on clicking on the ominous subject line,<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">"The Whore."</span></span>She furrow her brow in confusion, finally deciding to click on it. Various pictures popped up, ranging from Lea stripping at the bar and Lea performing sexual favors for men. There had even been a picture of Lea with Carlos, though it was just of them walking together.<br/><br/>While the pictures were not exactly great for Lea's interest, Mary-Ann was more concerned about how the pictures were taken. It was obvious they had been taken over time and that meant someone was watching Lea. Someone who wasn't Ralph...unless Ralph had targeted Lea a long time back? Even so, how was it that this person had managed to email them to her if they were by Ralph? Had he been released? She didn't think so and there hadn't been any news on the matter, even through her circles.<br/><br/>She quickly texted Carlos the pictures along with a message,<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FFBF00">"Someone's been watching her."</span></span>She then tried to email the anonymous person back, but she immediately received a failure to deliver receipt. At that, she frowned. Not only did she not know who this person was, but they had somehow managed to send her pictures without a real email address. She hadn't known that was possible to do and it had her greatly worried for Lea and Carlos.
