Jake knocks hard on Matt’s door. Austin opens the door immediately. “I didn’t ask you to come… But I figured you wouldn’t sit there with your arms folded.”
“Obviously Austin. Are you hurt?”
“Me no. Matt’s at the hospital, Ethan dropped him off.”
My mouth opens, worried. Austin immediately strokes my arm to reassure me. “Nothing serious, it’s just for a simple check-up. Amanda Brown grazed his hand when she shot at him.”
A scathing laugh rises up behind Austin. I shiver and lower my head. Amanda Brown is here, handcuffed to the radiator. She seems amused by the situation. “Quiet please. There’s nothing funny about your actions.” I say disgusted by her.
“In my opinion, everything about all this is funny.”
“Silence!” Austin’s voice can slice through a coconut.
Ethan joins us at the apa
