"He asked me to hold Christine's hand." "To make sure that a responsible adult was with her at all times." "He seemed genuinely concerned." "So you met the car's driver?" "Is this him?" "No." "It was an older black man." "Well, did you get the name of the car service or the license plate?" "You have to understand." "Christine was weeping." "She said her mom was going to die." "Thank you." "Daisy." "All right, we need to call every car service in the area, find out which one sent that car and where it took Christine." "Christine knew it was Tate." "Why would she lie?"
