章 259: Mom to the rescue?

A knock sounded at the door and Kellen wondered who got past Maeve. 

Both the Captain and Casper froze, and Kellen had to detach himself from Rhys, and use one hand holding onto the bookshelf to get to the door since his cane was behind the desk. Unlocking the door, he opened it slightly to stare into the same eyes he had. 

"Mom?" He said, startled and she frowned at him. 

"Why aren't you opening the door more?" She demanded and Kellen glanced behind her to find Maeve looking shocked and Brent with the smaller Guide Kellen had left him in charge of. Brent looked a little guilty, but didn't apologise. 

"Uh, well,"

"Are you and Rhys getting up to something you shouldn't in your office?" She asked, not quietly at all. Kellen's cheeks flushed.
