"Yeah, I reckon you hit the nail on the head. Let's head over to the apartment and see."

"Alright."

Karen hadn't replied to any messages on WhatsApp, and despite Dorothy sending her a couple more, there was radio silence. To say they weren't worried would be a lie.

As they pulled up to the apartment complex, Dorothy barely got out of the car when she saw Jeffrey's truck racing towards them.

If I can calm her down a bit, I'll let you know to come up."

She too was concerned Karen's reaction might escalate the situation further.

"Great!" Jeffrey responded, then grabbed Everett who was about to follow, "Everett... wait here with me, will ya? I'm kinda... panicking."
