"Go freshen up! Langston traced Lane's phone IP on his computer. If he's not back, how am I supposed to figure it out?" She wasn't exactly a tech wizard.

No sooner had Dorothy finished speaking than Everett, with his long strides, was heading towards Langston's room.

She quickly grabbed him, "You're going in there... into a kid's room like this?"

It was only when Dorothy pointed it out that Everett realized he was covered in blood...

"I'll clean up then."

"Great!"

After Everett headed into the bathroom, Dorothy finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to check on Jeffrey, who was still visibly shaken from the day's events.

"You should head back to Karen! Don't worry, I've got Everett. I won't let him do anything rash."

"Alright! I've got to keep an eye on Karen, especially with the baby on the way... But make sure to keep Everett in check. We can't have him taking matters into his own hands. It could get messy, not to mention the hit to his reputation."

"I understand!" Dorothy glanced at Jeffrey, who, though not as disheveled and dirty as Everett, was also stained with blood. "Jeffrey, why don't you also freshen up in the guest room? Change into some of Everett's clothes before you head back?" Jeffrey paused, "Do I have to? I don't have OCD."

"But you're covered in blood. Karen might get scared if she sees you like that."
