There was instant silence on the other side of the phone.
Larkin seemed to want to say, "Do you want to face a fight from me alone, or a joint attack from three sides?"
"Larkin, don't push it too far," Calvert retorted angrily. "Even a cornered rat will bite."
Larkin's reply was ice-cold, "Go on, give it your best shot."
He's always been the type to live and let live.
But if someone messes with his loved ones, he won't pull punches.
With that, he hung up.
Then, he turned around and headed to the kitchen.
Erica Shields woke up.
Breakfast was already in her room.
She brushed her teeth happily, then sat down in front of Larkin and started eating her breakfast.
After breakfast, the couple prepared to say goodbye to Rosalynn and Paige, and set off to visit Larkin’s teacher.
Paige and Erica were reluctant to part.
Rosalynn, however, pulled Larkin aside.
"I found something odd about the information leak yesterday, so I had someone look into it," Rosalynn said, handing Larkin some documents. "Turns out it was Jack Shields who did it. Here's the proof. You decide whether to tell Erica."
Larkin was surprised, then deeply grateful.
He wasn't the only one looking out for Erica.
"I found out too," Larkin replied politely. "Ms. Tesdal, thank you for caring for Erica."
Rosalynn was taken aback, then broke into a smile, "With you by her side, I can rest easy. Nobody can mess with her!"
Larkin nodded, smiling.
