The moment Jake set foot in the nursing home, Emma’s phone buzzed with Claire's call.
"Heads up, Emma. Jake's back at the joint, but something's off. He's not in Simon's room or Lila's office. We've lost eyes on him."
"Cool your jets," Emma responded, cool as a cucumber. Ever since she'd dropped that bombshell video of Jake, she'd been waiting for the other shoe to drop.
She thought, 'Sure, he is switching up his game, but he's already handed me more ammo than I've bargained for. This cat-and-mouse dance is far from over.'
After hanging up, Emma fired off some cash to Lucas, tagging it "Room and Board".
A quick rinse, a fresh outfit, and she was out the door.
She rolled up to their rendezvous spot to find Nathaniel already there, looking like the cat that got the cream.
He smirked.
