章 169: Familiar

Even when Lena left, she was still texting Kris. The traffic was slow getting out of the city on a weekend.

Lena: I'll be home Monday night.

Kris: Ok

Lena: OMG

Lena: don't forget the candles

Kris: K

Lena: Just get the numbered candles

Kris: K

Lena: Good luck <3

Lena stared at the heart she sent and pounded her head on the driving wheel. She looked back at her phone and saw that Kris was typing. But then he stopped. After a few minutes, he finally sent a message.

Kris: <3

Traffic was already moving and Lena did not see that. She drove carefully to the safe house. She made sure that she was not followed and Tye was already notified of her arrival.

When Lena arrived at the mansion, she parked her car and quickly got out. She ran toward the baby-faced man that was waiting outside for her. She gave Gary a long hug.

"I miss you, noob!"

"I missed you too, dweeb."

Lena lets go of the man. "I don't know what that means."
