Heather had no idea what the outside world looked like now. The more she did not know, the more her panic spiraled. She felt utterly powerless, unable to do anything.
During the flight, there was a rough patch that had Heather, who was blindfolded, convinced they were about to throw her out of the plane.
"I need to see Everett. I have something urgent to discuss with him!"
It was her last card to play. If she did not, who knew if she would even make it off this plane alive?
But Heather's plea did not seem to catch anyone's attention.
The flight attendants, acting as her escorts, thought she had lost her marbles.
The Lopez family's golden boy, Everett? He was not someone one could just summon. They had no clue who to contact, even if they wanted to convey her message.
"You tell Everett I have information about Dorothy! And I need to tell him face to face!"
Heather always knew how to play her cards right.
Just shouting for Everett would not bring him to her, but if it was about Dorothy, she was sure it would get his attention.
...
Dorothy was oblivious to Heather's predicament.
Her mind was occupied with Byte 7, hoping to secure the restored flash drive before Everett caught wind of the truth.
If the Lopez family had intercepted her before that, all her efforts would have been for naught.
Taking advantage of Everett being tied up with corporate affairs, Dorothy snuck to a secluded bench behind the hospital to call Byte 7.
She did not have much hope he would answer; the guy was an enigma with a notoriously quirky personality.
To her surprise, after just two rings, he picked up.
"What's up?"
