Chapter Twenty

Kalum

Three hours, four coffees, and a ridiculous amount of failed plans later and we’re still sitting in the main room of the headquarters. But now everyone has gone silent. My mind is going in circles at top speed and I am two minutes away from throwing my fifth cup of coffee at the nearest wall. Eddie is sitting with his arm around Stella, both of which are leaning against the wall that I was planning to throw my coffee at. The image of them both drenched in somewhat hot coffee and furious scowls is enough to force a downright cheeky laugh from me. And once I get going, I can’t stop. The laughter turns maniacal and draws the attention of all of The Fifteen who look at me like I’ve gone insane. Which to be fair isn’t far off.
