Zoey was so anxious that her eyes were watering, but she still remembered to say, "It's such a huge mountain. There's no way they'll be able to find her just by searching like that. Come on, Lucille. Where did you take Joanne to? Tell us!"

"Oh, my God. Wild boars are so dangerous. If it charges at her, will she be able to survive?"
"Lucille, things have already come to this point. Are you still going to lie? How can you be so vicious? If something really happens to Joanne, do you think you won't suffer any consequences? Don't you feel guilty?"

If this was a storm, then Lucille was at the eye of it.
