"Oh, nice nest egg." Tanner said

"The bank discourages depositors from keeping cash in their safe deposit boxes." Ashley added 

"That's a good policy." She nodded

"Two passports." Holbrook added, holding them up "One American, and one Canadian." 

Tanner nodded and pulled something else out, but it was covered in a cloth until she pulled it off to reveal a gun "You should warn your customers about keeping firearms, too." 

"You think that's his drop gun?" Holbrook asked 

"Let's not speak ill of the dead, Gabriel, but the serial number's been filed off." Tanner explained 

"So would you have been the one to take Wilden into the vault?" Holbrook asked Ashley 

"Uh, if I was here, yes." Ashley nodded 

"So as far as you know, no bank employee has ever seen the contents of this box?" Tanner asked 

"That's right." She replied nervously

"Except for you." Tanner said and Ashley, Hanna and Lily were all afraid of the implications behind her words "I mean, just now... When he opened it." 

"Yes, that would be the first time." Ashley nodded

"Take everything, including the box." Tanner told Holbrook and turned to Ashley "Would you mind if I have a butterscotch?" 

"Please." Ashley gestured to the small bowl of sweets on her desk and Tanner took one

"Hanna," Lily said "Come on we have to get to Aria's," It was a lie, they had nowhere to go, Lily just wanted to get out of this situation

"I'll see you later," Hanna said to her mother who shot her a relieved smile and the girls began to leave the office

"Goodbye Hanna." Holbrook said before his eyes settled on Lily, glancing her up and down quickly "Lily."

Hanna looked between them. She had noticed the way his eyes had lingered on her at Wilden's funeral, but it appeared his interest in her was definitely more than official work business. 

Lily felt a shiver run up her spine as his eyes bore into her. But she knew this was definitely not the right setting for anything inappropriate, so she sent him a quick smile before dragging Hanna out of the office with her

Lily dropped Hanna off at home before she went back to her own house and she and Caleb went for a quick run with Teddy before making dinner together

The next day was a Saturday and Lily had been planning to just spend today alone relaxing but her plans were disrupted when there was a sharp knock to her front door so she had to get off the sofa to answer it

"Hi," She said, surprised to see Mike outside her door

"Hey," He said "I realised that I never apologised to you for the way I acted at school, I shouldn't have taken it out on you, this whole thing with my mum moving on has been pissing me off,"

"Yeah don't worry," Lily smiled "I get it,"

"Well," Mike revealed something he had been hiding behind his back "I brought over the Karate Kid DVD as an apology,"

"Come in," Lily chuckled "You can get the movie set up I'll go make popcorn,"

Mike headed into the living room while Lily went to the kitchen and put some popcorn in the microwave and when it was done she put it all in a bowl and went to the living room to join Mike who had made himself comfortable on the sofa
