After ending the call with Raya, I feel like pacing. I've been stuck with Lawson all day—first in the car, then the plane ride, then the hospital room with dad, and now here in the hotel suite. It's suffocating.
I can see him on his bed from where I am in the living room area. He's got a remote in his hand, watching me uneasily when he's not focused on the television. I hope he's as afraid as he looks. He should be. The only reason why he isn't in that basement tied to a chair is because it would make father suspicious if he wasn't here.
If I could get away with tying Lawson up in here, I would probably sleep better. I doubt he would slip out and disappear in the middle of the night when father's surgery is tomorrow, but he is as self-centered as they come. I'm not going to entirely put it past him. If he thinks it will save his skin, then he may try to make a run for it.
