Which Daniel didn’t lock behind him.

And which now, quite slowly, is pressing open.

“Shit shit shit,” Jerome starts to say, his whole body going rigid.

“| —“ Jerome says, coming up with nothing. And I don’t blame him, under the Mafia King’s heavy gaze. “I’m just...” “You're just what,” Kent asks, taking a step forward towards him.

“Um,” Jerome says, not looking at Kent, his eyes moving fast around the room as if looking for some sort of explanation. And then they land on something on the floor that makes him go pale.
