It's only natural I'd take a liking to her, right?" Lane snapped his fingers, his mood evidently upbeat. "The woman I've got my eye on? She's top-notch! As long as we're not at odds, who's to say we can't be pals?"
"I'm not exactly jumping at the chance to be your buddy," Kenneth replied, causing Lane's previously cheerful expression to darken in an instant.
"So, you're set on leaving?"

"Relax, once Everett's funeral wraps up, I'll get in touch with Dorothy. Then, you'll be free to go."
Lane wasn't keen on letting his makeshift hostage slip away.
