Why? Whats up? Bettie asked, intrigued.
Lance hesitated.
Keilanis dads in town.
Are you scared hell come after me?
Better safe than sorry. Who knows what hes capable of, Lance explained.
Keilani used to get away with everything and Kaleb didnt bat an eye.

But now, things were different. Keilani faced consequences and that might mean Kaleb caused trouble for Bettie. Plus, Kaleb knew about them and brought Bettie into the mix, making Lance extra cautious.
Got it. Ill watch my step, Bettie replied.

Bettie felt Lances warning wasnt unwarranted due to his familiarity with Keilanis kin. There must be a history of grudges in that family, hence his caution.
Then, she ranted, When I got home today, Sabrina hit me with news that Jennie had vanished. It nearly gave me a heart attack! Turns out, Keilanis brother swooped in out of nowhere with no heads-up. Rude much? This family is I cant even. Keep your distance from them, okay?
Having not revealed himself of being Keilanis elder brother, Lance was rendered speechless at Betties remark. He regretted sending Jennie back and letting her use his phone. Now, he was somehow taking the heat for his fathers move.
With silence from the other end, Bettie probed, Did you hear what I just said?
Yeah, but maybe you got it wrong. Ive dealt with Keilanis brother before. Hes nothing like her and hes actually real chill.
Oh. Bettie cared less about Keilanis brother.
So, whyd he snatch Jennie?
Not him. Keilanis pops did. He was just responsible for taking Jennie back.
Bettie raised a brow. Doubtful, she asked, Are you sure about all this?
Well A light bulb went off in Lances head.
He had a spat with his dad over Keilani and came to vent..
Bettie perked up.
What did he tell you?
Just that his old mans pushing to get Keilani out pronto, and he isnt cool with that.
Hearing Lances take, Bettie felt for Keilanis brother.
You must support him and be there for him.
