Book TRK
Chapter 1311
Her mind racing, she lowered her voice, "You better not stick so close to me. If Lane's crew spots us, they might think I'm still tied up with the Lopez family. That's not going to look good for Everett's plan." The mention of the plan made Kevin halt immediately.
"Alright, Ms. Sanchez, I'll stay put right here! Just hurry back once you're done."
"Got it."
Dorothy nodded, secretly patting herself on the back for her acting skills, which seemed to improve by the day. It was almost second nature to her now.
She did actually head towards the bakery, but once she was sure Kevin was out of sight, Dorothy picked up her pace and dashed away from the bakery's entrance!
A taxi was parked by the roadside. Dorothy waved it down and hopped into the back seat.
"Take me here, please."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Sure thing."
It wasn't until the car started moving that Dorothy glanced back towards where Kevin was standing.
She needed to act quickly! Whether she could get the antidote today or not, she had to return as soon as possible.
In truth, Dorothy wasn't just there to steal the antidote; she wanted to scope out the situation on her own!
She had no idea what kind of traps Lane might have set up in the place where he hid the antidote - the deadly kind, knowing his current level of madness. Dorothy had come to suspect everything. She didn't want to risk anyone else's life just to get the antidote for herself.
The taxi made quick progress, and soon, they arrived near the location Kenneth had sent her.
Instead of directing the driver to stop right at the complex entrance, Dorothy chose a spot slightly away.
After paying the fare, she stepped out of the car.
The area wasn't too far from the bustling streets, but due to its previous life as a funeral home - even though it had moved - it
wasn't exactly a thriving spot. There were only a few apartment buildings around, with mostly older residents.
She pulled a hat and a mask from her bag, intending to wear them, but then decided against it, opting for just the mask.
Dressing up too suspiciously would only draw more attention.
Dorothy made her way to the location, encountering an elderly lady with silver hair.
"Excuse me, do you know if any of the apartments here are for sale?"
She couldn't just outright ask about the specific apartment Kenneth had pinpointed. She needed to gather some general information first-like the layout of the buildings and the number of entrances to the complex.
"There are," the elderly lady replied, eyeing Dorothy with a hint of curiosity. "Are you looking to buy?"
"Not for me, for my parents!" Dorothy offered a smile, keeping an eye on her surroundings.
"I was about to say! A young thing like you, wanting to buy in this place?" The lady pointed ahead.
"Just go straight and then look to et
your right! That whole building there is practically on sale. Though, heard someone bought out the entire first unit. Only the second and third units are left."
Dorothy looked where she was pointing.
That was exactly where Kenneth's location had led her.
So...
The place where Lane hid the antidote was also a recent purchase of his.
Dorothy realized she had underestimated the man's cunning. He always seemed to walk the dangerous path, but it was precisely this strategy that threw off suspicion!
