I tried the handle and the door opened freely.
Maverick placed a hand on the handle and pulled out a pistol while still shielding me.
"I'll go in first, please stay behind me"
The house was eerily quiet.
Maverick checked the place and I stayed behind him all the way.
Halfway up the steps leading to the bedroom area, he placed a hand on his lips.
Lena's bedroom door was slightly ajar, Maverick kicked door open, the sight within made my blood chill.
Lena was in a garrote with a kitchen stool under her feet, she was bleeding from her head.
A masked person arranged the procedures.
Maverick fired two warning shots slightly past the assailant.
