Anna widens her eyes, " eeeh ?!"
Shane furrows his brows.
' That broccoli.' thought Shane smirking.

Ethan smiles.
Gilbert exclaims, " woah !"

Belle turns to Quinn, " What did you say ?!"
" Apple, two." repeated Quinn.
" The guard saw through the thief's lie. The apples go to the guard."
Belle widens her eyes, " WHAT ?!"
Quinn smiles, " Didn't you hear ? I saw through your lie. So the apples go to meee.."
Belle collapses onto the floor.
" This can't be.. Why ?!" asked Belle.
" This is the LIAR GAME." answered Quinn.
" Now I can't steal anymore.." cried Belle.
Quinn walks to the door.
The door is opened.
" Why ? I promised to give you 10 million !" exclaimed Belle.
Quinn turns to her, " Nah. I changed my mind. Two apples are 20 million. Not 10 million."
Quinn remembers something.
Anna smiles, " Thank you. Quinn."
Quinn smiles.
Quinn looks at Belle, " live in despair."
***
Quinn comes in.
I have trustworthy comrades.
Quinn sits down.
Anna walks to Quinn.
Anna smiles and stares at Quinn.
Quinn turns away, " Don't thank me."
...
" This is the last round. Please choose a thief from the red group and an inspector from the gold group."
Anna walks to Shane.
" Shane, can I go ?" asked Anna, " I wish to take the remaining two red apples in our place and give them to Belle."
Shane glances at Anna, " No, you can't go."
" Eh ? Why ?" asked Anna.
" You'll do stupid things." said Shane standing up.
" Then.. you'll do it ??" asked Anna.
Shane walks away.
Anna talks loud enough for Shane to hear, " I trust you, Shane."
Shane stops.
Shane continues to walk.

Round 30
The door automatically slides open.
Belle stares at Shane as he sits down and puts the bag on the table.
" Please help me.." begged Belle.
Shane glances at her.
Shane points at the bag, " determine it's two red apples or two golden apples."
Belle glances at the bag.
" It's red." hinted Shane.
Belle presses the button.
Belle inhales and exhales.
" Pass."
Shane opens the bag.
" The guard successfully guessed the thief's intention. The thief can only take her apples back without receiving anything."

[ LIAR GAME ost ]
Anna smiles, " Yay !"
" No." stopped Quinn.
" Eh ?" asked Anna.
" We still don't know whether Shane wants to leave the apples outside or not." said Quinn.
Anna stares at the screen.
***
Shane comes in.
Belle bites her lips.
The door is opened.
Belle looks at the red apples.
Belle turns to Shane, " ..thank you."
***
" Yay ! Finally !" exclaimed Anna excitedly.
Quinn glances at Anna, " but we still don't know whether he'll declare pass or Apple."
Anna turns to Quinn, " he'll pass. I trust Mr. Shane."

Belle sits down and puts the bag on the table.
Shane presses the button.
" Pass."
***
Quinn widens her eyes.
Anna smiles, " I told you, right ?"
