Just as this young man had prepared himself for everything that was happening before his eyes and had taken a deep breath, preparing to announce his terms.
A heavy sequence of footsteps suddenly echoed. It was a rhythmical sound that seemed eerily familiar.
Before anyone could ponder what they just heard or come up with any conjectures.
There was a knock at the door. Everyone immediately stood up, reaching for their weapons.
The conversation they were having in that room was not something most people would be aware of.
Given the current predicament, any other thoughts or suspicions about the situation might not be necessary.
The crux of the matter was how they were going to handle this unexpected guest.
As the room grew tense, someone tried to soothe the crowd.
"Relax guys, it's not an unexpected guest. He's an old friend." The man kept his cool as he faced the unfolding situation.
Without questioning further or thinking too much about the situation.
