"Absolutely! How can anyone live in a place like this, sweetheart!" The old lady chuckled at her remark. "Not even a proper bathroom in sight, wonder how anyone manages their... you know."
Laughing along, Dorothy added, "Look at me, not thinking straight as usual!"
Waving her hand dismissively, the old lady continued, "I just don't get the young folk these days. Buying up properties and not bothering to do them up or even live in them. Just slap a security camera on there, and for what? Makes you think we're all out to swipe something. And what's there to take? Nothing but dirt and dust."
Of course, she was clueless, but Dorothy was in on the secret!
This had to be the place where Lane hid the antidote.
But...
With an entire block to consider, and assuming it's two apartments per floor, that's twenty-two homes across eleven stories! She couldn't possibly search each one.
Dorothy hesitated.
Should she call Everett now for a thorough search?
As long as the antidote was here, Everett would surely find it. They could search the whole complex without fear.
But the critical issue was... she wasn't entirely sure the antidote was here.
If it wasn't, it wouldn't just mean failing to find the antidote. Revealing that Everett wasn't dead could put Kenneth in danger too!
"Ma'am, do you know anyone who's been inside this block?"
Left with no choice, Dorothy pressed further.
"Ma'am, my child is missing... You mentioned earlier that you suspected foul play here, right? I think they might have hidden my child inside! I just want to check."
Hearing about the child, the old lady's demeanor changed instantly!
"Child, I can't take this money, but I will help you! A child's welfare is paramount." She thought for a moment, then pulled Dorothy towards another building, "Here, come sit in my apartment while I go find someone for you! The ones who've been inside were all men, and we women don't dare venture in."
Dorothy nodded, "Thank you so much, you've been incredibly kind."
"I said it's nothing, and I mean it!" The old lady pushed the money back, smiling, "Just sit tight in my place, I'll be right back."
"Okay!"

Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
