She couldn't handle another favor from Kenneth. It was just too much.
"I should tell Jeffrey first, at least he could come up with some advice 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.
"Miss me already, huh?" Lane's voice carried that familiar, rakishly charming tone, even in moments like these.
"..."
"Come on, 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 about me a 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?"
"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 time to 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 him, thinking that no one would be able to find out where the antidote is hidden. No need to move it, then."

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
