Chloe Stephens planned to stay in the Imperial Capital for a while.
With Granny Hawthorne gone, Chloe did not trust Len Hawthorne to be on his own.
Len, who had joined the Slaughter Squad, seemed to numb himself through work.
Chloe didn't even go to see off Adam Stephens and his group when they left.
She had returned to the Aerospace Institute on this day to visit Matthew Patterson.
Before she could enter the building, she saw a disheveled and distraught Langley Ferguson wandering outside, chased back and forth by security.
Turning around and spotting Chloe, Langley Ferguson rushed over, eyes filled with desperation, like a drowning man clinging to a straw.
Chloe steered clear of him, which coincided with Logan Thomas emerging from the building to greet her.
Logan's face darkened. "Langley Ferguson, what do you want? We only fired you, we didn't stop you from returning to Sheffield City."
