Capítulo 22: Chapter 22: GABRIEL

My eyes flew open, fully awake the way they have been doing since as far back as I can remember. No matter where I am or what the circumstances may be, I come fully awake with my awareness in check, fully cognizant of the sights, sounds, and smells around me. I thought I heard a sound, but maybe it was just my internal alarm clock going off.

I wasn’t overly surprised when the pain in the ass down the hall was the first thing that came to my mind. Shit, she was the last thing in it the night before as well. I wonder what fresh hell she’s going to get up to today? This shit promises to be long. After the stunt she pulled last night, I’m going to have to reassess my opinion of her. Maybe she’s not the timid little mouse I first thought her to be. She couldn’t be and stand up for herself the way she did last night.
