Chapter 67

Christian & Clay pt. 3

Without a clear plan or even what he's going to say, Nico stands at the Wallace's door ringing the doorbell. When the door is answered it's by a woman he's never met, "hello"

"Hi" Nico smiles, "I'm a friend of Clay's, is he here?" "Yes he should be in his room" she lets him in.

"Thanks" Nico walks in then remembers how big the house is and how impossible it'll be to find Clay's room, "anyway you could point me to where that is?"

"Sure" the woman walks and Nico follows, "I've never met one of Clay's friends before." "Why is that?" Nico asks behind the woman

"Well he barely talks to me, to him I am the enemy"

"Oh, you're his stepmom!"

"Yep" they walk up a staircase then she turns to him. "down that hall third door on your left" "Thank you, and nice meeting you"

"Sure" she walks away.
