After finishing conversation with Kelly, Mason turned back to Mary, who left from bathroom, wiping her wet hair.
"Are they OK?"
"Yes, they are. Chip and Sammi in CC's house, they are in safe."
"And if they would at your apartment... They would be in any danger?"
Mary concern looked on him.
"Mason, what is wrong?" Mason was silent. "Mason! I want to know! Now!" The voice of Mary begun to sound so nervous, because pressure of the last hours had effect on her.
Mason turned away and told: "I don't give back papers to Mark."
"What??" the word sounded as a cry, Mary turns his face to her. "What you did? You deceived him???"
"I could not differently act," Mason softly taken off her hands and came to the window.
"Should deceive him?? Mason, what you done!"
"I could not give back papers to him. If you want to know why I did this?"
Mason turned and looked in Mary's pale face.
"These were documents on payment of large sums for illegal sale of bodies for transplantation."
Mary's mouth became as letter "O' and her eye as a glass... Mason hardly was in time to pick up her, when she lost consciousness.

Kelly sat and looked at the phone which doesn't call already long time. "If yet five minutes it don't call, I will take children in the dad's house," she decided, but just in this moment the phone is call again. Kelly was filled by despair. "What I must to do?

"Kelly? Kelly, you are there?" the familiar voice was suddenly called her outside.
"Cruz?" Kelly plow up the door and embraced him. "My God, I so glad see you!"
"Kelly, what are you doing," Cruz begin but in this moment in unison crying babies. "Are you really babysitting with Chip and Samantha?" he was amazed.
"Yes, all three of us are danger! Cruz, help me! Help me to rescue these children!"

"You has lost consciousness because my stupidity."
"Because of... My God, you told that--"
"Don't think about this, Mary. All will be all right--"
"Surely, nothing will all right," she shook her head. "Mason, you told me the truth? Mark really connected with--"
"Yes. Now you understand why I could not just give back him these papers? These people need to be stopped, and if I returned it's to Mark, they have continued all than were busy earlier."
"Wait, but you have these papers now?"
"Yes. And as soon as we will return in Santa Barbara, I will hand it to police."
"But Mark... If you understand that they demanding these papers from him? They will kill him." Mary takes away from Mason.
"You don't leave a chance for him, are you understand this?"
"Why you protect this bustard? He so much hurt you!"
Mary was silent. Mason taken her face in his hands.
"Mary... Mark have a chance, he can escape from them... And people, whose bodies they sale, they will have any chances, if this horror don't stop. Mary, say me that you forgive me. Please!"
Mary kept silent, but embraced him for his neck. Mason's throat tickle. All because you, McCormick!
