Lane and Lex break from their hug, “It’s so good to see the both of you. I have so many questions.” Grace starts to giggle through her tears,

“I bet you do.” Grace gives Oaklee a hug, who gives Lex a nod and a smile.
                                                                               “I miss you my friend. This really mage my day.” Dean hugs Grace quickly as well as Lex,

“Welcome back…” As Lex talks to Dean and Oaklee, Lane pulls Grace into his arms kissing her passionately.

“Get a room you two!” Everyone laughs causing the couple blushes, then turn red.

“Forgive me, folks, but I haven’t seen my wife for a very long while. I’m excited to be around Grace and Lex.” Lex starts to snickers as Lane arches his brow at him,

“Please don’t kiss me brother!.” The whole group started laughing, while Dwayne looks at Tammy before he clears his throat.

“Everyone please have a seat, so we can start to answer the questions Gov Lane and his friends have for us.”
                                                                      After everyone sits down Lane clears his throat,

“I really have one really nagging question in my heart…” Lane declares very sternly,

“What is it Gov Lane?” Tammy asks curiously,

“What was the real reason for faking their deathe? Dane is in prison, and will be there for life.” This time Dwayne clears his throat,

“I’m sorry that we weren’t able to get ahold of you. We really thought they were seriously in danger. This family kills without a second thought.” Lane squeezes Grace’s hand,

“What was the danger? I did  let the other brother go.” Tammy got up and start pacing,

“Sir, we were deeply concerned. We traced calls from Jonix back to the executive mansion, but a different department than yours.” Fear started to fill Grace’s soul as she clung to Lane,

“what does this mean?” Lane snuggly increases his arms around Grace as he kisses her temple,

“Someone on my staff may know what’s going on.. Or..” Lex eyes widen as he asks,

“Or what Lane?”

“He’s right! Someone close to him is trying to pull the strings. That has us deeply concerned.” Dwayne chimes in,
“I can tell you this! It’s not me or Dean! We have been by his side from the start. We support Lane and Grace.” Oaklee hisses as Dean shakes his head
,

“This was the information we were going on, right after the shooting. We felt we had to move quickly.” Dwayne states strongly,

“When you pardon Dane’s older brother, things did quiet down until a few days ago.” Tammy added,

“What happened now?” Lex hisses as he asks the question,

“We gotten Intel that Dane was being transferred furthered north away from you. For your safety and other security reasons. We’re still not sure how this family was or will react.”

“I understand. Did something happen during Dane’s transfer?” Lane asks in earnest,

“ We got some interesting news yesterday, the confirmation came this morning. It’s bad news.”
                                                                    Grace’s eyes grow wide as she puts her hand to her stomach. Lane looks at her with concern, as Dwayne continues the story.
