Plan B

DANE

He didn't know how many hours they lay together, talking, hoping, fearing. The truth was, he didn't want to stop talking. Didn't want to think about anything else but being close to her. But Lila was exhausted and eventually the overload of emotion dragged her eyes closed as soon as she stopped talking. He continued to hold her, curled around her, until she was deeply asleep. Then, much as it pained him to let her go, he slowly slid away, located his clothes, and checked the phone, wincing when he saw that it was already after two in the morning, before tapping a message out to John.

LOCKDOWN THEN CALL ME.

URGENT

The thumbs up emoji popped on the screen within seconds and Dane breathed a sigh of relief and left the Penthouse, heading through the fireplace and to the apartment. But once there, he was left pacing. It was still a handful of minutes before his phone buzzed.

"John?"

"I've got the files for Chris."
