Penelope had instructed the rest of their team to stay on a standby in the van and only went in with Gale so as not to draw too much attention and end up losing the suspects.Gale dodged in time before the hot water was thrown in his direction as the woman had prepared to, finding out she wasn’t successful, she dropped the bowl and attempted to run away through the window frame b
