Bab 29: Protect! 2

***Outside the Janitor's Closet…***

After saving Goldie and sending Bradley off to the janitor, Ryan Muller, resting against the janitor's closet door heaves a sigh of relief.

'Success!'

He had managed to send Bradley off successfully, and buy the pretty 'bird girl' some more time.

He smirks, proud of his accomplishment. 

'Nice going, Ryan. You did the right thing.'

He applauds his efforts, shutting his eyes with a satisfied smile as he rests his head against the janitor's closet door.

But just then, he hears a sudden strange noise coming from the inside of the closet.

Since Ryan is resting on the closet door with his back against it, and with the back of his head so close to it, it is fairly easy for his ears to pick up the chaotic battle between Goldie and her wildly flapping, out-of-control-wings.
