She couldn't handle another favor from Kenneth. It was just too much.

"I should tell Jeffrey first, at least he could cup with sadvice for us!" "Let's not do that. If you tell Jeffrey, then Everett will find out," Dorothy didn't want Everett to worry.

Besides, the situation at hand wasn't something that could be easily resolved by simply sharing it with others. Dorothy gently patted Karen on the shoulder to comfort her, then stepped aside to call Lane on her cell phone. After a few rings, he picked up.

"Missalready, huh?" Lane's voice carried that familiar, rakishly charming tone, even in moments like these.

|| || "Con, you call and then stay silent? What's up?" Dorothy frowned slightly, her mind racing on how to subtly bring up the topic of Kenneth.

"Are you back at your hideout?" "Yeah," Lane replied seriously for once, "Too many cops around to be wandering about." "That's actually why I called. Just wanted to make sure you were okay." Lane chuckled, his deep voice soothing yet gritty, "So, without Everett around, you actually care abouta bit! Should've gotten rid of Everett sooner!" || || "Don't worry, the cops won't catch me. I've planned our future too well to just end up in jail. What would you do without me?" "We just saw each other at the diner, and you're already back at your hideout. It can't be too far from downtown, then?" Lane paused before raising his voice, "Trying to figure out where I'm hiding?" "...No." Dorothy knew she didn't need to probe; Everett had probablyfigured it out already. "I'm just making conversation. I'm not interested in your hideout. Just stay hidden and don't get caught. If wanted to rat you out, you'd have been arrested back at the diner." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesHe snorted, "So heartless, acknowledging you care aboutwouldn't kill you, would it?" "Fine, I care about you, happy?" Dorothy quickly moved on, "So, what's there to eat at your place? You can't live on sandwiches and fast food forever, right?" Content belongs to en.kikistories"Kenneth's here. He cooks for us." That was exactly what Dorothy needed to hear! But she couldn't just ask outright; she had to lead the conversation to it, waiting for Lane to bite.

And he did.

"Didn't you say today you caught him tailing you?" "Yeah, but I'm choosing to believe his reasons for now." Hearing this, Dorothy finally relaxed.

It seemed Lane hadn't harmed Kenneth, at least not yet.

After exchanging a few more words with Lane to avoid raising his suspicions, Dorothy hurried to share the news with Karen.

After all, Karen was pregnant and couldn't afford the stress of worrying about Kenneth's safety! "Dorothy, does that mean... Lane didn't have the tto move the antidote?" Karen slowly pieced things together, "Because, you see Lane doesn't know my brother has this tracking device. He must have taken Kenneth back with hing thinking that no one would be able to find out where the antidote is hidden. No need to move it, then." Content belongs to en.kikistories.com
