Chapter 33: Listen...

"Rei? What the-" Why is he holding a bat like he doesn't teach self-defense here? "I got your call and, and, and you sounded so stressed! What happened? Is it about 'him'? Did you find any leads?"

"Ava, step on the brake! Just hear me out... I think we need to do something about him first."

I look on the ground with Shyn lying badly on the dirty floor. I kicked him on his side and walked past him, making my way on the chair to sit down. "Hmm, no response. If I were you I will just leave him there, but do whatever you want with him."

Shyn's body was lying on the floor like a corpse, except, he is breathing.

Rei's big rough hands grabbed Shyn's arm, carried him, and threw him on Rei's old brown couch.

Shyn silently grunts...

The tiredness I feel is not enough to escape through my sighs, my shoulders felt like it has weights on them. My feet felt like the soles of my shoes are acupuncture mats.
