Colby, dressed in a white shirt with the sleeves slightly rolled up, his face pale, was about to shake off these two persistent people when Sophie's voice cut through the chaos: "Colby!" The instant Colby heard Sophie, the ferocity in his eyes vanished. When Angelo and Sandy saw Sophie and Odie walk in together, they both let out a sigh of relief.
