Be looked up, her clear eyes meeting Justin''s fervent gaze.
She understood him, and nothing more needed to be said.
The twalked to the top floor, past the narrow corridor, to the door of thest unit.
Before they could even knock on the door, an olddy with a cane wobbled in their way.
Their suits made the olddy shudder, and she stamped her cane on the ground. "W-Why are you here again? Do you think you can do whatever you want because only Rachel''s mother is around? They said they wouldn''t take you to court anymore. What more do you want? Are you trying to push them over the edge?" Justin and Be exchanged nces. Enough was said for them to figure out what had happened.
The Iversons must have threatened Rachel and her mother. It was clear that the Iversons threw their weight around.
"No, ma''am. Please calm down. We are not with them. We are here to help Rachel and her mother."n went up to exin, but instead of listening, the olddy swung her cane.
"Get lost! I''ve lived long enough on Earth. I''m not scared of your threats. I''ll fight you! I watch Rachel grow up, so she''s like a granddaughter to me. She''s a nice and kind kid. I can''t let you bully her. Get lost!" She waved her cane around wildly.

Amid the tension, the door to the Meads'' hopened.
Standing closest to the door, Be made eye contact with Rachel''s mother.
"Who are you?" Rachel''s mother stared at Be warily and timidly.
"Hello, Mrs. Mead." Be put her hands together and gave a nod. She spoke in a tender voice, "Don''t be afraid. We are not bad people. We don''t work for the Iverson Group. We have learned about the incident with Ms. Mead. We just want to seek justice for her." "You want to seek justice for my daughter?" Rachel''s mother froze.
"Yes. The person who hurt her should pay for his crimes," Be voiced gravely.ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Rachel''s mother was taken aback.
However, the pressure from the Iverson Group took a toll on her. She could not let her guard down. "Who are you people?" "I am... Be Thompson." Be was hesitant, not knowing how to introduce herself.
Her identity would put strain and distance on Rachel and her mother.
"Be Thompson?" e Rachel''s mother heaved heavily, her face contorting. "Are you the heiress of the richest man in Hatchbay? You are the one who treated Charles'' legs." Be said, "Mrs. Mead, I—" swn
