Everett had this gut feeling, a premonition that made him act without hesitation.
"Head to the apartment building."
Kevin hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Mr. Lopez, maybe I should go? Your current status... it's not exactly low-profile. What if he's set a trap? You could be walking into danger!"
The depth of hatred Lane harbored for Everett was no secret, evident through recent events.
While he might not harm Dorothy, there was no doubt that given the chance, Lane wouldn't hesitate to strike at Everett with full force.
"Dorothy could be in Lane's clutches. Do you really think I can just sit back, worried about my own safety?"
"Mr. Lopez..."
A single glance from Everett silenced Kevin.
He could even see a flash of deep, seething anger in Mr. Lopez's eyes.
Lane... he had touched a nerve, messed with someone Everett held dear.
...
An hour, it seemed like an impossible feat.
Dorothy couldn't even make it from the top floor to the bottom in that time!
All she could hope for was that within the hour, Kevin would notice her absence and somehow pinpoint her location...
Though even Dorothy herself doubted the likelihood of that happening.
Behind her, Lane's towering figure loomed, his lips curled in a smirk.
"Dorothy, just call me 'husband', and I'll grant you an extra ten minutes."
She furrowed her brows, giving him a glance before resuming her frantic search for the antidote.
Lane's patience snapped, and he advanced, gripping her jaw tightly.
