"Where's Mother and Father?"Carlos, the only one at the table, began to answer, "they went out...," but his words trailed off as he looked at Marissa. "Woow, Marissa, wearing lipstick.

Inside Marissa's Heart 15. Pending Verdicts
Juan's fists were squeezed hard as his face twisted with worry and anger. "Drugs? This can't be true," he muttered as he looked at Marissa, who was just as shocked."I understand this must be difficult for you, Juan. We have evidence, and we're conducting a thorough investigation," Inspector Guerra assured them, his tone empathetic."What evidence do you have?" With a tense voice, Juan questioned."We received a tip about illegal activities in a casino. They are using drugs and gambling, and upon investigation, we found drugs in Ignacio's possession.
