As the seconds ticked by, Dorothy felt her heart sink deeper and deeper.
The horrifying thought crossed her mind - if, if she were violated by Lane... she couldn't bear the thought of living on!
Even though she knew Everett would tell her he didn't mind, that it didn't matter to him, Dorothy couldn't accept it for herself.
Suddenly.
There was a scattering of footsteps outside the apartment building.
Dorothy and Lane turned almost at the same time towards the source of the noise—
It was Kenneth.
His hands were tied, and he had been brought here.
"Mr. Lane, here's the person you asked me to bring."
"Alright," Lane gestured with his hand that the messenger could leave, then his gaze landed on Dorothy and Kenneth, a sly smile forming, "What, pretending you don't know each other in front of me? This act is too fake!"
Dorothy looked at the man before her, his face and body covered in wounds and blood, and she nearly lost her composure!
If Kenneth hadn't gotten involved in this mess trying to help her find the antidote, he could have stayed out of it entirely.
"Kenneth, if you just come clean about how you've been signaling the outside world, maybe I'll spare your life!"
As soon as Lane finished speaking, Kenneth rasped, "I didn't."
Lane scoffed and kicked him fiercely!
The kick was strong, and with Kenneth's hands tied, it was hard for him to keep his balance. He fell straight to the ground!
The thud made Dorothy's heart tremble violently.
"Lane, are you insane? He said he didn't betray you! What did Kenneth do wrong?"
"He said he didn't, so he didn't?" Lane's gaze shifted back to Dorothy, "It hurts you to see him kicked?"
Dorothy didn't dare speak, unsure which word might trigger Lane's temper.
His eye sockets were swollen, half of his face covered in blood.
Yet...
Kenneth still gave Dorothy a warning glance.
Signaling her not to try for the gun.
It was too dangerous!
"You all think you can play me for a fool, Everett did, and so do you!" Lane stormed towards Dorothy, his eyes filled with resentment, "My patience has run out, today, I must have you!"
He advanced, and Dorothy retreated.
But the room was too small...
In just a few steps, she was backed against the wall.

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....
