After grabbing breakfast with Damien, Lane headed straight toward one of the Gates that were at risk of being confiscated by the Association. He already had weapons and the clothes to change into prepared in the spatial bag he had on him, since the Forbidden Zone trip he went on with Damien, thus there was no need for him to stop by his apartment. He just jumped in his car, and drove to the site.
He had spent too much on it to just hand it over to the Association without getting anything (that is, the fun of taking part in the raid) out of it. Not to mention, he couldn't pull something like that - buying the rights for the Gate, only to leave it uncleared - too often, or else the Guilds under him might get in trouble, losing their rights to take part in the Gate auctions…
