Benjamin's voice cut through the chaos, taut and stripped bare. "Who took my son?" he demanded of Sarah.
Sarah's answer came out in a ragged rush. "The police. The task force handling Nancy's case says she confessed before she escaped—so they've moved to arrest Raymond and Reagan."
Benjamin closed his eyes for a beat, the room's noise falling away. He turned to Vicky, every line in his face hard as flint. "Call your brother's lawyer. And mine. Tell them to go straight to the station—get Reagan the help he needs."
Sarah's panic flared. "But—"
Benjamin's tone softened in the way only years of command could shape. "Sarah, I'm sorry. But Reagan put himself in this. He must face it like a man. Be with him. Now isn't the time." He stepped past her, the decision already made in the set of his shoulders. "Georgia and Katie are the priority."
The words landed like an order. Sarah opened her mouth again, but the fury in Nick's eyes stopped her before she could speak.
