doing so. She didn’t even care who saw or heard her. She took her phone out and called Daniel.
    “Em.” He said. He sounded like he did not want to speak to her.
    “Dan,” She said. “Dan, I’m so sorry.” She was crying. “I’m sorry…I…You’re right.” She said. “You’re right about everything. I’m sorry.”
    “Where are you? Are you at Frank’s house? I’m going there now.”
    “Dan—“ But before she could say anything else, Serena appeared and took her phone from her.
    “Calling your knight in shining armor, huh?” Serena said. “I thought that role belonged to Frank now.” She mocked. “Oh, wait, of course it doesn’t. I’m his wife. I’ll always be. And that sucks for you.”
    “I don’t know why this even happened or what his purpose was,” Emmy said, “but I’m really sorry. I…I didn’t know it would come to this. Please just…Just stop.” She pleaded. She felt like a child being bullied but she didn’t care anymore. She just wanted to get out of there.
    “But I won’t. You see how easy it is for you to fall for someone you don’t know, Emmy? You see how many lives you would have ruined if you went on with this?”
    “I’ll leave Frank alone. This is the last you’ll see of me.”
    “That’s too easy to say.” Serena laughed. “I’m pretty sure you won’t be able to do that. You’re weak and selfish. You think you got the world in your hands? You think you’d get your second chance? Nu-uh, young lady.”She said.
    “I don’t even know what I did to you! I don’t know you. I don’t know Frank either.”
    Serena laughed again. She seemed cruel and unjust, Emmy thought. She felt more and more crippled by what was happening.
    “Emilia Byrne, we meet again.” As if things couldn’t get any worse, Officer Lena McMahon, the Police Officer who was in charge of Ruby and Annabeth’s cases was there. What was she doing there? Was she there just because of those cupcakes?
    “Oh god, I don’t even know what you’re doing her, Officer McMahon. This is none of your business.”
    “Don’t talk to her like that.” Serena said.
    “But she keeps popping up on the worst situations!” Emmy said, irritated. She just couldn’t deal with Lena McMahon right now. She turned to Lena again. “Why would you even care about this?”
    “Oh, I have a lot to care for, Emmy.” She said. “I do have a lot of reason to be here.”
    “Why?”
    “Emmy,” Lena McMahon said, “Serena’s my daughter.”

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
    Emmy couldn’t believe what she just found out.
    Now that she knows that Serena is Lena McMahon’s daughter, could it mean that there’s a reason why she was put in this situation?
    Does Lena know something about this—or will she use this as another reason to persecute Emmy even more?
    And would she finally be able to find out the truth about the deaths of Ruby and Annabeth?
    Join Emmy in her quest to find out the truth in the last and final installment of The Sky Valley Mysteries—Murderous Coffee Crumb!
