Dora: [Crow's search on Morris turned up little. He's the Chivers family head, raised by his grandmother Phoebe after his birth mom's death. His father's current wife is his stepmother.
[Single and detached, Morris is recognized for his ruthlessness and assertive business methods. He's said to wield considerable clout in both the mainstream and the underworld, with a formidable business presence rivaling the Chivers Group] Cherise quirked an eyebrow, seeing a bit of herself in Morris's family saga.

She never took her phone on these runs, and when she got back her phone showed over twenty missed calls- more than ten from Trent, the rest from unknowns.
She called Trent back, and he picked up on the first ring "Cherise, why didn't you answer? You hadthinking the worst. At my age. I can't be stressing like this-I need to keep my nitroglycerin close at hand!" Cherise coughed, cutting him off. "I was out running, phone left behind." That explains it.
