Chapter 714

Back in Hank's dorm, he walked into the bathroom with his change of clothes. The dorm was quiet until the guy who'd invited Hank to basketball earlier in the day entered. He glanced around the room and listened to the sound of the water coming from the bathroom. Then, he raised his voice to ask, "Hank, are you in there?" "Yeah," Hank replied from the bathroom as the water splashed. The guy took a moment to steady his nerves and listened carefully to confirm that Hank wouldn't come out anytime now. Then, he turned to lock the door and pulled a palm-sized doll from his bag. After a brief moment of hesitation, he climbed onto Hank's bed and carefully stuffed the doll into the pillowcase. As he was too focused on his sneaky task, he didn't notice the bathroom door silently open behind him. Hank was fully dressed as he stood right behind with a cold expression and asked, "What are you doing?" … Cecily waited late into the night before hearing about the commotion in the boys' dorm.
