The next day Father Carlos was having tea with Sabine. He wanted to tell her where Mari was but he knew that Mari wasn't ready to see her mother so he decided to stay quiet. "So you can't give me any news about Mari?"
"All that I can tell you is that she is fine so don't worry about her." Father Carlos stated.
"But I want to see her did she go back to the ranch?" Father Carlos shook his head no. "You are only saying that so I don't look for her."
"Excidly I'm telling you that so you don't waste your time she didn't go back there." Father Carlos stated.
"Why don't you tell me where she is?" Sabine asked sadly. "I haven't been able to reach her in months."
"Be patient Sabine things will change I'll get involved and talk to Mari in your word." Father Carlos stated.
Roland walked in the kitchen of the apartment and saw Mari sitting at the table with her head on the script asleep and holding a highlighter in her hand. He got closer to her and poked her cheek making Mari jerk up in surprise and she hitted him in the process. "Sorry I felt asleep studying the script...how did you get in here?"
"I used my key and how are you doing with studying the script?" Roland asked rubbing the spot she hitted.
"Honestly its hard for me to get in the role of Juliet...first because I'm not like her and second the trail of that woman who killed Adrien's wife I see an article on it everyday." Mari replied.
"And it has to do with wondering if Adrien will free." Roland concluded.
Alya was finishing packing when she came across a picture of her and Nino and she sighed thinking about all the good times she had with him. She hugged the picture before putting it in her suitcase and she remembered when he visited her the day before.
"I'm glad that you came I was going to go see you." Alya told Nino.
"Did you change your mind?" Nino asked hopefully.
"No Nino I'm still going to New York and I don't plan to do a long distance relationship with you. I was going to say goodbye to you for good. I wanted to see you once last time and tell you that I'm not leaving because I don't love you." Alya replied.
"Alya you can't leave me now that we were together." Nino begged.
"I'm sorry Nino there's no going back." Alya replied tearing up.
When Father Carlos returned to the church he found a letter and when he opened the letter it was a calling for him to declare in Kagami's trial.
Mari was playing with Adrienne with a play horse when the doorbell rang so she stood up holding Adrienne and walked to the door and opened it. It was Father Carlos and she smiled. "Father Carlos I'm so glad to see you what brings you here?"
"I came to talk to you." Father Carlos stated.
"Is it about Viperion did you already tell him where I am?" Mari asked.
"No I haven't seen him again so I couldn't tell him where you are yet." Father Carlos stated.
"Well I have a feeling that he went back to the ranch is that what you wanted to tell me?" Mari asked.
"No Marinette I came to talk to you about something more important. I'm here to talk to you about your parents." Father Carlos stated.
Lila was at Isabella's house telling her the plan that she formed. "Viperion doesn't know where the street rat is and he's looking for like crazy and I think that Roland should have told him where she is."
"It would be a good thing to tell Viperion where the street rat is." Isabella concluded with a smile.
Mari sighs. "Father Carlos you know that I don't want to know any-"
"You can't think the same way Marinette that's why I'm here to tell you who your parents are." Father Carlos said sternly. "Even if you don't want to know."
Marlena and Alya were at the airport and they were hugging each other saying goodbye when Nino suddenly walked up to them. Alya broke the hug with her mom and looked at him. "I told you not to come."
"So you really are going." Nino said softly.
"There's no other way I'm sorry." Alya replied.
"I'll wait for you until you come back." Alya sighs and kisses his cheek before walking away with her suitcase holding back her tears.
"You once declined to hear me but time passed and people change. You are now a woman with your own daughter. You now know how much a mother cares about their children." Father Carlos started.
"Not all of them." Mari stated. "And I'm not talking about my own experience."
Adrien walked over to Ruby. "Ruby Mari came to the house and you didn't tell me? Natalie said that you saw her."
"I won't deny that I was in the house when she came Adrien. I didn't tell you because I thought that you had enough problems and its not that I thought that Mari was a problem but I know that you love her and if you knew Mari was here than memories would come to you and you would become unstable during the trail." Ruby replied.
Adrien sighs. "How is she?"
"Good she changed she seems like more mature more beautiful." Ruby replied.
"Did you ask her anything about her life?" Adrien asked.
"I told her that we knew that she was also getting married. I told her about you and Kagami because she asked me and I couldn't lie to her." Ruby replied.
"Do you think that she already got married?" Adrien asked and Ruby shook her head no. "Its strange that she came everything between us ended there's nothing that unites us."
"Don't judge before knowing Marinette don't sentence anyone before letting them defend themselves." Father Carlos stated. "Your mom wants to talk to you. Let them talk to you both your mom and dad. I'll tell you who they are."
"No wait first I want to know one thing are my parents poor?" Mari asked.
"No Marinette." Father Carlos replied.
"Than don't tell me." Mari said sternly.
"I insist that you need to know." Father Carlos stated.
"Based on what you told me about her I experienced the same birth as her and I still have Adrienne with me." Mari replied.
"It's different Marinette you had help." Father Carlos stated.
"Stop Father Carlos I don't want to know." Mari said sternly.
"You know I bumped into her in the street yesterday." Adrien added. "She was in her bike and I was in the car."
"Well wish me luck." Lila stated.
"Are you going to see her at Roland's apartment?" Isabella asked.
"No Roland told me that they will rehearsal at the theater so I'll appear there and take the chance if I have the opportunity." Lila stated.
"Well good luck." Isabella replied.
"Father Carlos will declare tomorrow. Father Carlos knows your case. He has seen both of your personalities and his word can't be denied." Adrien told Kagami when he visited her.
"Maybe but Mr. Sparks says that it would be best if a person that knew me years ago as Ryuuko declared." Kagami replied.
"Than try to remember if someone knew you back than a friend or boyfriend." Adrien stated but Kagami shook her head no not knowing anything.
"That was great Mari." Roland told Mari once she finished a scene. "I'll be right back I need to talk to the sound crew." He walked away.
Mari suddenly heard clapping and when she looked at the entrance of the threater she saw Lila. "You're so good your biggest admire the owner of the ranch will be so pleased when he sees you." Mari ignored her and was about to walk away. "I saw Viperion yesterday." Mari stops and looks at her.
"Would you like to sit down Tom?" Isabella asked unsure how to handle this situation the last thing she expected was a visit from him. "I'm surprised you came."
"I only came for a moment. I only came so you can give me some information." Tom stated. "All I want to know is where Mari is. I know that Lila knows. If she knows than I'm sure that you do too."
"Roland is selfish since he wants to keep you for his convenience he didn't tell Viperion where you were." Lila added. "Do you know where Viperion is?"
"No I thought that he went back to the ranch." Mari replied.
"Well if you want I can go to the hidden ranch and tell him where you are." Lila stated. "Write a message for him and I'll give it to him."
"Why are you so sure that I know where Mari is?" Isabella asked.
"Look Isabella I have enough age and I'm not naive enough for Lila to lie to me so easily. She proposed to me a deal and I reacted immediately before she could go into detail but it was that with some money we could make Mari disappear from our life." Tom stated.
"I don't know anything about that Tom." Isabella replied.
"Are you sure Isabella?" Tom asked.
"How do you know so much Lila? The name of my protector and the name of the ranch." Mari stated. "You even talk as if you know how to get there quickly. Why are you informed of so much?"
"Kagami we are fighting and trying to do everything in our power. Mr. Sparks is going to ask that you are put under psychiatric observation. That the own judge picks the person so they can see themselves that you really are sick." Adrien stated. Kagami suddenly stayed still as a statue and Adrien was afraid that Ryuuko was coming out so he grabbed her shoulders and shook her a little. "Kagami Kagami." Kagami came back to reality and looked at him and Adrien sighed in relief. "I thought Ryuuko was coming out. Has it happened to you lately?"
"No I think that she knows what this place is a prison and Ryuuko doesn't like being locked up behind bars." Kagami replied.
"The names I found out by Roland and the location I can figure out along the way with some of your directions and by asking. Do you want me to do it?" Lila asked.
"What I want is for you to stay away from my life got it? And I'm done talking to you." Mari said sternly before walking out from the theater.
"I'll get you out from Paris even if you don't want to street rat." Lila mumbled.
"If I find out that Lila knew about your plan for her to replace my daughter I'll never forgive her." Tom said sternly.
"How can you think that? Lila considers you as a father." Isabella stated.
"If Lila knows where Mari is she needs to say it immediately for Sabine." Tom replied.
"She doesn't know where Mari is." Isabella stated.
"Than why did she ask me for money to get rid of her?" Tom asked.
"I don't really know but I'm sure that it's not what you think. Lila is not capable of doing anything bad." Isabella replied.
"What's the invitation for?" Ruby asked her uncle aunt cousin and Roxie who were visiting.
"It's just a party for the new member of the family and we will officially name him " Roxie replied holding her baby boy.
"That's great what's his name going to be?" Ruby asked.
"Edward." Roxie replied and Ruby nodded.
"We should go now I can't leave Michael alone for too long. Tell Adrien about the party." Elsa stated.
"Of course though I don't know if he can go with everything that is going on in the trail." Ruby replied.
"I'm back Fu." Mari said walking in the apartment and picked up Adrienne from her basket holding her close to her.
"The rehearsal ended so soon?" Fu asked.
"Well I ended it early Roland is most likely looking for me right now. Lila went there and broke my patience." Mari replied. "She went to tell me that she saw Viperion yesterday."
"I told you that I was going to find the street rat and I found her." Lila told Isabella. "She was at the threater and when Roland left to talk to the sound crew I took the chance to talk to her."
"I also have something to tell you." Isabella stated. "Guess who came to visit me...Tom Dupain was here."
"I don't know how she does it but that girl knows my whole life." Mari added.
"Roland probably told her." Fu stated.
"Maybe but she did say bad things about Roland. It seems that Viperion asked him where I was and he didn't tell him anything." Mari replied.
"Either way Father Carlos is going to tell him when Viperion goes to see him." Fu stated.
"Yes but Lila wants to get rid of me but right now all I care about is the profermance." Mari replied.
"Why did dad come?" Lila asked.
"To tell me that if you knew where the street rat was I should know too." Isabella stated. "And you should have told Sabine by now."
Lila sighed. "So he didn't believe me when I told him that it was a joke."
"He was mad about it. It seems like he lost trust in you. He might even find out that you were aware that you weren't his daughter from the beginning. I defended you of course saying that you didn't know anything and that you were not capable of doing anything bad." Isabella stated.
"So what are we going to do now?" Lila asked.
"Well for now all we can do is try to make the street rat go back to that ranch with Viperion." Isabella stated. "Roland didn't tell him were she was but maybe we can. Who better than us to tell him where she is."
"Yes especially now that I know where she is." Lila replied.
"But where do we find Viperion do you know where he could be?" Isabella asked.
"I don't know but maybe after not finding her he went back to the ranch." Lila replied.
"Than tomorrow we will go to the ranch to talk to Viperion." Isabella stated.
The next day Father Carlos visited Mari and Fu again though at the moment he was only talking to Fu since Mari was getting Adrienne ready for the day. "As much as I tried Marinette didn't want to know anything about her parents."
"Well why don't you tell me who they are I could probably help you." Fu stated.
"I hope that Viperion is at the ranch." Lila told Isabella as they headed to the airport.
"Everything seems to say so." Isabella stated.
"Hopefully after he finds out where she is he goes to find her." Lila replied.
"If he asked Roland about her than it means that he is interested in finding her." Isabella stated.
"Why don't you stay longer so we can talk more?" Mari asked Father Carlos.
"I can't it's getting late and I don't want to be late for the trail." Father Carlos replied. "I need to declare in the trail of the murder of Dr. Agreste's wife."
Sabine was waiting for Adrien at his living room and soon he walked over to her. "Good morning Sabine how are you?"
"Like always Adrien I'm sorry for coming and bother you with the same question but have you heard of Mari?" Sabine asked.
"Yes Sabine Mari was in this house." Adrien replied.
"Mari came here? Did you see her? Did you talk with her?" Sabine asked.
"No Sabine I didn't see her but Natalie and my sister Ruby did." Adrien replied.
"What did she tell them?" Sabine asked.
"She only came for a moment and they didn't talk much but from my understanding she came for something for her wedding." Adrien replied.
"The lawyer of the defensive side asked me to get there early." Father Carlos added.
"Are you against or are you going to defend the woman who did the crime?" Mari asked.
"To defend her Marinette since she's innocent." Father Carlos replied.
"How can she be innocent if she's the one who killed Chloe." Mari stated.
"It has to do with a split personality case." Father Carlos replied. "There are moments where Miss. Kagami Tsurugi stops being a good person."
"I understand even less now." Mari stated.
"You are telling me that my daughter is getting married? That she came for something for her wedding. With who?" Sabine asked.
"I don't know i'm just telling you what my sister told me." Adrien replied. "Who must know is Father Carlos Glass."
"I doubt it. He has never told me anything about this." Sabine stated.
"He's the only one that I can think of that must know what is going on in Mari's life." Adrien replied. "By the way I saw her by chance in the street."
"What did she tell you?" Sabine asked.
"Nothing much but she is getting married because when I asked her she confirmed it." Adrien replied.
"Are we doing okay celebrating when Michael is so sick?" Roxie asked Elsa as they were planning the party.
"He needs something to entertain him and distract him." Elsa replied. "Just like me."
"As a witness of reference what do you have to say against Miss. Kagami Tsurugi?" The lawyer of the public asked Father Carlos.
"Against her nothing in her favor a lot." Father Carlos replied. "She is innocent and I defend her."
Mari threw the newspaper with the latest article of the trail in the ground as she was in tears. "As much as I try I just don't understand why is Adrien defending so much the murderer of Chloe. I should just forget about Adrien but I can't I still love him."
