Chapitre 41: Chapter 41 - Kiema

A heavy pounding filtered through the weight of sleep. I batted at the sound, snarled, before pushing my head under the pillow.

Go away.

More pounding.

"Ms. Feuer! This is Dallas with the front gate. Ms. Feuer!"

I threw my pillow across the room. Got to my hands and knees.

"You have unauthorized visitors. Ms. Feuer!"

"Shit, shit, shit." I bounded from the bed, awake enough to grab a discarded sheet from the floor on my dash to the front door.

"Ki?" Ransom yelled from his shower.

"The guys are here," I yelled back.

I slid the last foot to the door, the sheet caught under my feet. Slamming into the solid wooden door, I had to take a minute to steady myself.

"Wait!" Ransom yelled.

I wasn't going to leave them out there. I checked through the peephole to make sure it was the front gate guard first. I wasn't stupid.

The guard rolled his eyes, muttered something under his breath, and raised a fist into the air.
