Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1930
“What are you talking about, Lars? How could I make a move on Joan when I haven’t even seen her recently?”
It irked Gabriella that Larry had rebuffed her numerous attempts to go on a date.
Damn you, Joan Watts! This is all your fault!
Gabriella’s demeanor turned bitingly cold.
“How’s it going?” Larry asked impassively.
“Hmm. This one’s a complete goner, Larry,” Caspian said with finality.
Larry’s face was filled with disappointment as he looked at the damaged USB drive. He didn’t know that it contained nothing more than the daily mundanes of Lonnie, Hubert and the rest of their gang.
“Forget it.” He took it back.
“I found many electronics and some maintenance tools in his room. He might be trying to fix this thing too.”
Larry’s eye lit up suddenly, and he rushed down to the village’s clinic with the drive in hand.
Thump! Thump! Thump! One could hear the urgency from the continuous knocking.
“Who is it?” the doctor asked aloud.
“Larry.”
“Mr. Norton’s cool. Let him in,” Lonnie said with a smile.
As soon as he saw Larry, he asked, “Do you have it?” The latter checked the surrounding, shut the door quickly, and pulled Lonnie into the house.
“Is this it? Can you fix a damaged USB drive?” Larry handed him the item.
“You took the wrong one.” Lonnie’s dismay was instantaneous. “I kept it in the corner, sandwiched between the pages of a book. How could you miss it? Hold up. Has anyone else been to my place?” he asked cautiously.
Larry nodded.
“Damn, these f*ckers are fast!” Lonnie cussed as he clenched his fists.
“What’s important now is for you to stay here and keep yourself safe. They must be looking all over for you on Gabriella’s orders. I know she’ll want to see your body even if you’re dead.” Larry patted his shoulders.
