Kent was still hung up on what Sophia had mentioned to him. After saying goodbye to Brandon and Sophia, he grabbed his tray and bolted.

Marian paused in her tracks, looking a bit puzzled.

Kent, completely focused on the phone, said, "Alright, alright, I'll double-check, see if he was taken to another police station."
