Chapter 221: Book 4 : Chapter 70

The second I was sure Andrea and the gun were far enough away, I woke Leo up.

"What's the matter, Ells?" He asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost. And why are you shaking?"

"A-Andrea," I stuttered.

"You had a nightmare?"

I shook my head and swallowed, "he was in the kitchen."

He looked at me blankly.

"I went down to get water and he was there," I said. "It wasn't a dream."

With that he got up and left the room. The scent must have hit him halfway along the hall because it was then that he began to march.

"What did he want?" Leo demanded as I followed him into the kitchen and he relocked the back door. "And how the fuck did he unlock the door?!"

"He said he just wanted to see me," I replied. "And he's a master lock picker."

"Why didn't you call me?" He asked.

"Because there was a man with a gun. He said he'd shoot the kids if I did."

If this was a cartoon, this is the part where steam would have come out Leo's ears.
