Chapitre 42: Pain

Teddy stood in front of the apartment, key in hand, contemplating whether to step inside.

The surroundings felt eerie, almost abandoned, yet every door looked well-maintained, suggesting that someone was home.

"Fuck," Teddy murmured, feeling a mix of anxiety and determination. Just as he was about to walk away, the door unexpectedly swung open. His heart almost jumped out of his chest as his mind thought of ways to escape the place without drawing any attention.

"Mr. Tomgreen, I've been expecting you," a confident female voice declared.

Feeling the weight of being discovered,he covered his face with his hands.

"You've got the wrong person." Teddy said in a low voice

The woman crossed her hands around her chest, "I knew you would say that."

Teddy turned to see a 5'6" woman with an Afro curly pixie cut, exuding a bold and assertive presence.
