From the town to London, it was a full four-hour journey. Eric Candi parked the car in the parking lot, saying, "We've arrived."
Aldana Candi, groggy and drowsy, was scooped out of the car by Philip Shaw, who cuddled her in his arms and kissed her lips.

Eric Candi locked the car door and handed her the cane given to her by Trenton Smith: "Let's go."
Eric Candi chose a very modest department store, which also meant there were a lot of shoppers and tourists. As soon as they entered the store hall, Aldana Candi clearly felt the sight lines gathered from all directions, all focused on the two men beside her.
