Killer Past. Chapter 10, Turnaround. *****

"I...don't....understand?" Mary stutters as Lane narrows his eyes at her,

"Don't understand? Both of you outside... NOW!" Lane escorts Dale and Mary outside of the house.
"OK, now who are you?" Lane demands looking at Dale,

"I'm Dale Driver, PI. I'm hired to keep an eye on you." Lane shakes his head while glaring at Mary,

"Explain yourself, MARY! NOW! " Mary swallows thickly,

"Your council was concerned due to how your date with Cassandra ended up, also cancellation of your date with Sandy. Even though you saw her today, they're not sure what to think." Lane starts pacing,

"That's still no reason to hire a PI!"
Dale kicks the dirt before speaking,
"You seemed to want us out of the house quickly. For me that raises red flags." Lane glares at both of them,

"I saw them in there!" Mary spats,
"Who are you talking about?" Lane hisses back at her,

"I saw Lex and Grace in there. I thought they were dead!" Lane looks at her in shock,

"I thought they were dead. The Feds have put them in Woodsac For their and my safety. They did that by faking their deaths." Mary and Dale look at each other,

"So if they're in witness protection, why are you seeing then?" Dale inquires,

"He's right. You shouldn't see them. Let Lex and Grace have their life, you have the suitors. Move on from them! They don't need you! You don't need them!"

"How Dare you! Mary, I saw them when I was with Cassandra. There's so much, and that's why I need Grace and Lex back in my life." Mary huffs,

"No Lane, it doesn't really matter at all. Trust the Feds to protect them! Move on with your life! You know she's alive, let her be!" Lane throws his arms up in total frustration,

"I'm going to bring them to the mansion this weekend. After I receive certain answers." Mary looks at Lane with mere confusion,

"Grace is pregnant, about 6-7 weeks along. Mary, it's mine. We're doing a DNA test to protect us, because of her being in the house with Lex. We wanted no room for any questions."
Mary rubs her temples before responding,

"So what about the suitors?" Lane shakes his head in disbelief,

"They can go. I'll talk to them and help them understand that I'm back with my wife." Mary nods,

"Alright, I'll leave. I'll tell the council they're alive. I'll let you handle the suitors." Mary along with Dale leave,

while Lane heads back inside the house. Grace rushes over to Lane, who holds her snuggly as he tries to breathe.

"Lane, what's going bro?" Lex asks curiously,

"The council had me trailed.....Mary was outside, and she saw the two of you." Horror filled Grace's face,

"What is she thinking?" Lane rubs Dakota's back,

"My love, she has a lot of questions. Grace, I need you to come back to the mansion, to help ease my mind." Dwayne steps up to Lane,

"Do you think someone will make a play for Grace." Lane thinks for a moment,

"Yes, I do. The way Mary talked, she wanted me to totally walk away from Grace and Lex. Pick a suitor and go on with my life. She said that after she found out you were pregnant.

"That was so cold of her." Dean exclaims,

"Why Lane?" Grace tearfully asks,

"It has to do with who the mole is. I have a strong feeling it's someone on the council. I just don't understand who or why." Lex walks up to Lane,
