Chapter 423

• Stephanie wobbled into the kitchen. "What happened?" she asked nervously.
• Alexis pulled back from her partner and turned to her sister. She wiped the tears from her eyes. "Ben was in an accident but he's ok!" she finished in a rush as she saw her sister's shock. "It was a very close call and he could have been killed. Ben was riding one of the new bicycles when Arsene shot at him and tried to drive him down with his truck. Somehow Ben got away but Arsene crashed his truck and died."
• "Arsene's dead?" Richard, Henry, and Stephanie all gasped in unison.
