Belle leans in.
Belle presses the button beside Anna.
" Shane, what will you do ? I have Anna's card, BAHAHAHAHA ! Now Anna can't get her prize, who will save you ?!"
***
Shane growls, " BELLE !"
Shane turns to Quinn, " Give me your card ! Now !" shouted Shane.
' Is he out of his mind ?!' thought Quinn.
Quinn gives him her card obediently.
Quinn shakes her head, ' Pity you.'
***
Belle walks to her.
Anna lowers her head.
Belle presses the button beside her.
" Hey..to tell the truth, I took two golden apples. So, just pass me. If you doubt me and declare Apple, you'll need to pay me apples."
Anna glances at her.
Belle whispers softly, " you know, right, your bank has no apples. So if you dare to doubt me, you'll pay with the apples you earned."
Belle ends it with a cackle.
Anna presses the button, " Pass."
" WHAT A MORON." mocked Belle.
Moron.. Moron.. The word is echoed through the rooms.
" The guard didn't see through the thief's lie. The thief earns two apples."
***
Shane kicks the border.
Again. And again.
The men pull him away.
Shane still manages to reach the border.
His hair is messier than usual.
Anna opens the border door.
Anna drops a tear.
The men leave.
Shane glances at her crying.
Shane hugs her.
" Just cry all you want."
***
Shane and Anna sit down together.
The screen shows Belle alone.
" Okay. Judging from your foolish comrade, I empathise you. I'll give you a chance."
Anna, Quinn, Shane, Ethan, and Gilbert stare at the evil woman displayed.
" Maybe, if you want to trade Anna's card, you can switch it with your card and Quinn's card, Shane.. I'd like to see you suffer."
" Shane !" shouted Quinn, " you aren't really going to switch hers with mine, right ??"
Shane turns to her and ignores her.
" Hey !!" shouted Quinn.
Anna lowers her head.
Quinn turns to Anna.
" It's all your fault !"

Round 28
Shane sits down.
Belle chuckles.

" Fufufufu.. Shane is no match with Belle." commented Hiro.
" But I kinda wish the stupid girl to advance. I bet she still has some tricks under her sleeves." said Harry, " she hasn't show her true colors yet."
" Why do you say so ?" asked Yuri.
Harry turns to the other screen.
" Look at the other stage." said Harry.
" Woah.. it has ended already ?!" exclaimed Hiro showing his gold tooth.
