Lira beamed, visibly pleased with herself. "You're proud of me, right?"
"Absolutely," Darren replied, giving her a smile that he struggled to make genuine. "Beyond proud."
"It's in my bag, in my locker," Lira said, her voice low. "But we need to go through it today so I can return it as soon as possible. I don't want my dad to start looking for it or notice it's missing. If he finds out, I don't know how complicated things could get because I overheard him last night talking to one of the heads of Westworld, he was saying they took Karis Heeler out of the Asylum. They must have had a serious reason for it, especially since the file says he was sentenced there for life."
Lucius and Darren looked at each other again with a knowing gaze.
"Right," Darren said, feigning ignorance. "Got it."
