... The diverse part of this book follows the life of Bic and Opal(Laurie's kidnappers) seventeen years after they left Laurie in a schoolyard to be found. They did this to keep from getting caught, since they were a few suspicions about the couple. Bic is now Reverend Bobby Hawkins and Opal is called by her real name, Carla. Bic had always had it in for little girls with blond hair and blue eyes, but Laurie was the first girl he had ever kept. Even after such a long time, Bic is still obsessed with Laurie and the church he is practicing is conveniently located as close as he can get to Laurie.

Though Sarah has found Laurie's kidnappers, this does not prove she didn't kill Allan Grant. Detectives continue to work around the clock, and finally crack the case. Allan Grant's wife, Karen, wasn't fully aware of the capabilities Laurie had. She thought that Laurie and her husband, Allan, were having an affair. Even though she thought she knew Laurie, she had no idea about her multiple personalities. Leona(the personality in Laurie that was obsessed with Allan) actually wasn't having an affair with him, but broke into his house and left her personal items and some of her other belongings there every so often. When Karen Grant came home the night the murder took place, "Leona" had left many items of clothing strewn across the apartment, and Allan had just gotten home. ...
