Jeffrey could feel his blood boil at the mere utterance of that name.
“What’s the deal? You guys used to be thick as thieves, right?”
“She kidnapped Dorothy’s kid and had it out for Dorothy. When she didn’t get her loved one at last, she just stabbed Everett in a fit of madness and planned to go down with him!”
“You mean Heather?”
“Who else would I be talking about?”
Silence hung on Lane’s end of the line, and just as Jeffrey was about to conclude the call had dropped, Lane rushed out, “Something’s come up, gotta run.”
