Bab 297: Chapter 297: So Many Possibilities

Jill wasn't taking any chances this time and I found myself smirking as Ryan glared while she locked his door personally, him trapped inside. Hey, he had an en suite, right? And Mom fed him, so he'd be fine for now. And yes, I did have to be standing behind her, arms crossed and a grin on my face, as she treated him like a naughty toddler who should go stand in a corner for the rest of the day.

He was the last of the guests to be thus confined, leaving me, Mom, Bill and Jill out and about. Barry begged off, hiding in his room, the whiner. Fine, let him. The sight of him was starting to irritate me anyway, as was his annoying attitude. If he complained one more time about being in the wilderness and not having internet access I was going to do him serious harm. Yes, I was as unhappy as he was about being cut off from the world, but he hadn't been shot at, had he? And he thought he had things hard because he couldn't check social media.
