The orphans were kidnapped and taken outside of the city. That's what Thomas told me before I kicked him into the portal. Hopefully, the kidnappers he mentioned are actually Celestine's spies.
But what is their relations with Celestine? Did they grow up together? I don't think they are people whom Celestine just know after she joined the cult. If so, they can't be fully trusted.
That's why Albert and Hector made up a plan to figure that out.
I will take all the orphans and those spies to a place Albert prepared, and Albert will take care of finding out if they can be trusted or not with his lie detection skill. He will be with Mustache and other powerful agents so, once they are found to be lying and unable to be trusted, they will be killed.
Though I need to make sure that none of them have the explosives in their mouth first. How do I convince them that I'm with Veronica?
