As the police were extremely efficient, the car and money were prepared in no time. Subsequently, Gaspar held the officer at gunpoint as he headed downstairs. Just when Gaspar was about to shove him into the car and escape, the hostage lowered his head and bit down ferociously on Gaspar's hand.
When the pain forced Gaspar to loosen his grip, the officer tackled him to the side. Seizing upon the opportunity, the rest of the officers fired at Gaspar's hand, causing him to drop the gun. Amid the chaos, the freed hostage scrambled for the gun and put a bullet in Gaspar's leg. Only then did his subordinates surge forward to capture the latter.
Meanwhile, the gunshots naturally alerted Micah. The sight of Gaspar being led away by the police caused him to decide at once to return to the island with Abigail. However, the moment he opened the door, he was staring down the barrels of more than ten guns.
The police had received a report that a drug lord was hiding there. Hence, when they did find one, they immediately arrested Micah and Abigail.
As for Anna, little did she expect that her father, Abigail, and Gaspar would all be arrested on their trip to Chanaea. Out of the four of them, she was the only one left. Alone, there was no way she could save them even if she wanted to.
Initially, the police assumed that they had arrested one drug lord in Micah and were pleasantly surprised that Gaspar, too, was another one. Even though they were foreigners, Chanaea's laws could still be enforced upon them.
Half a month later, both of them were sentenced to death.
Upon learning of Gaspar's fate, Susanne—in spite of her recent brain surgery—insisted on seeing him in prison. Having failed to dissuade her, Vinson and Arielle had no choice but to give in to her request.
In truth, no visits were allowed, but Vinson pulled some strings for the rules to be bent.
When Susanne saw how much Gaspar resembled Vinson, the guilt she felt further intensified. If only he had grown up by Vinson's father's side, Gaspar wouldn't have walked down the path of crime.
