In view of the situation John Kennard removed the custody claim and offered economic compensation for the ‘inconvenient’ behavior of his son, which was rejected by Mani; finally, John Kennard sent a check for a significant amount of money saying it was Louis Kennard inheritance and it should go to his family who was them, asking in exchange for Mani to remove the charges against Don, which the lady didn’t do, neither she cashed the check.

After a month Mani was attacked on the street by three unknown men, fortunately, a police patrol that was driving nearby saw them and the men ran away; her daughter Louise was also followed and almost kidnapped by two men when she was walking close to the bank, this time luck saved the girl, because the banker, Toni’s secret girlfriend, Peggy Peabody was walking around, she intervened and called the police.

Mani, however, was scared and decided to protect her daughter Louise by sending her to live with her sister Toni who was going to be transferred to Houston where Peggy had been appointed as the new supervisor of the bank branches there; Toni received also partial custody of her niece and in view of the circumstance Peggy offered Mani to be also transferred to Houston where she and her younger daughter, Tina, could still be in contact with Louise and in that way they could still be together as a family.

After six months in Houston, Mani was very badly wounded when she was shopping with Louise, it was then when she thought seriously of the banker’s proposal, Peggy, her daughter, and Toni were going to move to California to the main bank, because Peggy’s father was sick and she had to move to the main location and help him and to take care of the business and she had previously offered Mani to take Louise with them, and Mani decide to put the girl under Peggy’s and Toni’s protection while she was wounded in the hospital, she, Tina, and Louise cried because of the separation, but it was the only possibility to protect Louise, a week later, Peggy and Toni moved to California taking Louise with them, Tina never knew where her sister went; for Louise, though missing her mother and sister was initially very hard, she was hoping to reunite with them in a near future; but finally, she was going to have peace and feel protected living with Peggy, her aunt, and Peggy’s daughter who was one year younger than her, she also received psychological help, in that way Louise could overcome the traumatic experience of almost being raped by her uncle and of seeing her mother hit by the monster; but no one realized that there was another traumatized victim, and probably in worse condition, it was Tina, a witness of her mother’s and sister’s attack. As the time passed Tina lost track of her sister and her mother never told her where she was for her safety and also for Louise’s safety, but the events left deep scars in Tina’s soul.
