Can You Handle the Truth?

"I'll tell you what happened," Jael said from nowhere. Eric's hands stuck mid-air, and he watched as Jael walked towards him calmly and asked that he sits down. 

"No, Jael. You can't do that. If Serena has the kids, then she is now incriminating herself more. She…" Jim started, but Jael raised her right index finger up and asked Jim to be quiet.

"We're losing them, Jim. One by one, first it was Karen, then Carol, then Cheryl. It's only Eric who is here, and he is paying for your mistakes. You have to tell him the truth, and you have to give in to Serena's demands. It's enough,"

" What happened? I want to know what happened," Eric demanded, his calm composure already gone. 

"You've taken much from them. Call Serena and talk to her and let this be buried once and for all," Jael asked the stubborn Jim. 

"Eric, I'm sorry you had to get involved in this," Jael started calmly, but Eric asked that she gets direct to the point.
