"Michael, bring out the machine," Enoch ordered.
"Yes, Father," Michael replied, signaling his men.
Soon, they hauled an instrument onto the platform.
"You kids are clever but too conceited," Enoch said. "Thanks for sorting the real from the fake for me."
Debra's heart sank, and he continued, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I want you to witness this historic moment with me. The Osborne family is going to create a miracle like never before."
Randy glared at him. "So, you've been playing us this whole time? Just watching us scramble and playing God. You're insane."
Instead of responding, Enoch raised a hand, and a disheveled woman was dragged in.
"Mom!" Randy cried out.
He rushed over, knocked over the guard, and untied her.
She tore the tape off her mouth and shoved him. "Run! Get out of here!"
Erica's anger flared. "Enoch! How could you do this to her? She is your wife. Even if you don't love her, she's been by your side for decades. You're a damn monster."
Erica and Randy yelled, "We've got this side."
"Debra, take care of my mom." Randy shoved Yvette into her arms.
Debra wanted to help, but she knew her fighting skills wouldn't cut it there.
"Hurry!" Drake shouted.
But six guys blocked Marion's path, making it impossible to break through.
