Alexander woke up the next morning feeling refreshed and well-rested. Next to him, the naked form of Kary, still sound asleep.
Although he was tempted to cuddle up to her and go back to sleep, he had many things to do that day. Alfred would come by to get Violette's pod, and he was sure there would be an altercation.
He started pushing his furniture to the walls all around the house. He wanted to make sure there was nothing they could throw him over or break on impact.
He had closed the room door, so the noise did not wake Kary. By the time he was done with everything, he was already sweaty.
The good news was that he was also warmed up. His intercom rang at that moment.
'Dammit, they are already here. Here goes nothing.'
When he answered, the receptionist told him four men were downstairs, asking to be allowed up. When the woman mentioned a man named Alfred, he told her to let them up.
