Her young cousin was safe, but the question of why her father was involved with Russian criminals known as 'The Family' kept Wanda from considering the spectre of a long prison sentence. Then she was visited by a man claiming to be her grandfather, and the stakes turned deadly.
He wanted to control her, stop her speaking of what she knew. That wasn't going to happen.
He could get her out of prison, and the murder charges dropped. That only proved that he and
The Family had set her up.
When he implied her mother was still alive, possibly in the same prison, he'd gone too far. She was going to find her, even if it jeopardised the efforts of her friends to help her. Even if the whole darn Family came after her. Even if she was locked up for life.
