The Woman From Hell

My head was a mess when I walked out of the gates of Yard Mansion.

The moment I was outside, Keith led some people over and surrounded me. "President Lane, are you okay?"

I looked at Keith. For a moment I was speechless but then I just shook my head.

Seeing me like this, Keith could tell that something had happened. He did not pry, however, and just led me into the car.

The car moved slowly. Gradually, the trees outside the window became office buildings.

Had we arrived at the city so soon?

I did not feel like I was ready to see Theo.

When I thought of this, I quickly spoke up, "Uhm, I... won't go back yet."

"Where would you like to go then, President Lane?"

"To... Susan's apartment."

This was the only place I could think of that would allow me to calm down.

"Alright."

After a moment's hesitation, Keith then agreed and sent me to Susan's apartment.

I had wanted to return the key to Susan before but she told me to keep it, stating that I could use it as my little cove.
