Chapter 128: An angry little sister
"W-Why would I ever do that?" Kellen stuttered, and the Captain grinned at him. He shrugged, his eyes warm and yellow, and Kellen had to look away from his face.
The elevator opened, and the two of them headed down the hallway that connected the two sets of elevators. Kellen was distracted by his own thoughts, so he jumped nearly a foot when someone slammed on the glass window beside them.
Turning, Kellen was met with the hard expression of his sister. She had her face pressed against the glass, and it was clear she had been looking for him. Even Gunther, who seemed exasperated by her display, wasn’t chastising her. She pointed towards the door, and Kellen winced.
Swallowing, Kellen turned and without glancing at the Captain, headed for the door. Out of pettiness, Gwen didn’t even open the door, just stood next to it with her arms crossed.
Thankfully, the Captain already had his keycard out before Kellen had to try to fumble with his own. His arm reached past Kellen and touched the keypad. Kellen tossed a grateful look back at him, and the Captain smiled.
Opening the door, Kellen wasn’t sure what to expect from his younger sister. After all, this whole situation was something she had predicted, and warned him about. But that didn’t mean she was happy about it.
Gwen reached out, planting her hand on his shoulder. Her grip tightened and Kellen did his best not to wince.
"You are a fucking mother fucker for not calling me as soon as the video broke." She growled, and Kellen winced. He sighed, placing his hand on top of hers but she yanked it away, as if his touch burned. He frowned, staring at the ground.
"I found out just before the end of the day. Then, I was busy doing damage control. I didn’t even message Mom and Dad." She scoffed. Kellen looked up and she had her arms crossed again, her eyes hard. They were also glowing purple.
