Kenneth was with me when those calls happened; I heard everything," Lane boasted, feeling like he had the upper hand. So, his demands came without hesitation, "I've got the antidote that could save you, but—"
He paused on purpose, prompting Dorothy to bite.
"But what?"
"I want a night with you. Sleep with me, and it's yours."
"Lane, you're despicable!"
He burst into laughter. "Why the outrage? It's not like you haven't been with Everett before! What's with the act of innocence? If Everett can have you, why can't I?"
"I'd rather die than be with you! Keep your antidote!"
"Dorothy, even now, you're still playing hard to get? Didn't you see what happened to Everett?"
"..."
"Think it over. When you're ready, let me know."
With that, he hung up.
Dorothy looked up, her expression grave.
Lane reaching out meant there was a lead, but—
"So, Kenneth is with him?"
Who else could it be?
"Huh?" Kevin was just as confused.
"I need to get in touch with Kenneth." Dorothy quickly dialed Kenneth's number, only to find it turned off!
She could never have imagined Kenneth being dragged into this mess!
And from what it sounded like, Karen had known all along but hadn't told her.
"Can't get through?" Kevin raised an eyebrow.
