Seeing that Hannah was unharmed, Dotson glanced at the half—conscious woman on the floor and asked, “Who
is she?”
“She’s the one who set the fire tonight,” Hannah replied, her voice steady.
“Did the hospital call the police?”
“Yes.
Franco is safe, and the hospital has called the authorities.
The firefighters and police should be here any minute.
Dotson looked back at the battered woman on the floor.
“What should we do with her?”

If she gets away, someone might try to cover for her.
“Understood, Boss.
I'll handle it.

“Got it! I'll call him right now.
The chaotic night slowly gave way to dawn, and as exhaustion finally overtook her, Hannah dozed off while
keeping vigil at Franco's bedside.

When she awoke, Bryson was already sitting by Franco’s bedside.
“When did you get here? Why didn’t you wakeup?” she asked, rubbing her eyes.
Upon noticing Hannah awake, Bryson moved from the bed to sit next to her.
“I'm worried you haven't rested enough.
Hannah's lips twitched into a smile as she responded, “I slept well enough.
Thankfully, nothing happened last night.
Her voice was hoarse.
With a concerned frown, Bryson suggested, “You should have the doctor check you out.
“No need.
Hannah coughed and reassured him, “I just inhaled ssmoke.
I'll be fine in a couple of days.
Then, curious about the previous evening's events, she asked, “What happened last night after the police and
firefighters arrived?”
“Luckily, it was caught early.
