*Barbara*
“Barbara?” King Gene says from just outside of the closet door. “Where the f**k are you?”
‘I’m in your closet, King Gene!’ I’m using the mind-link, but he’s talking out loud like he thinks I am here, even though there’s no way that he could know I’m so close to him.
“What? No, you’re not. You helped that awful Breeder get out of my castle, and now you’re out there somewhere with Alpha Kane!”
‘No, that’s not right at all!’ I say, though part of it is actually right. ‘Open the closet door!’
With a loud sigh, he pulls open the closet door. He sees me sitting on the floor and screams and slams it closed again. “There’s someone in there!” he screams. “Guards!”
‘No! King Gene, that’s me!’ I tell him. I’m about ready to rip this tie out of my mouth and yell at him with my voice. ‘
