I brought the glass to my lips, taking a small sip out of the expensive whiskey that I had been keeping for a special occasion. When we had made the plan, I had decided that today was going to be fucked up enough that I could allow myself something strong.
Steps and laughter come from deep inside the empty manor. Something shattered and several voices laughed, but I didn’t move out of my seat on the patio where I was lounging in one of the chairs, legs extended in front of me while I rocked the glass in my hand, the ice inside it clanking against the crystal walls.
I kept my eyes on the cup until they burst through the back doors of the house, all two dozen of them, and a small smile appeared on my lips.
So many, huh? My brother must have finally seen me as a threat or he wouldn’t have ‘not’ sent them all. It didn’t matter how many of them there were, I had enough people even if they couldn’t stand on equal ground with their brutal strength.
