Chapter 241: I’m a big, brave boy
Kellen followed Taylor’s suggestion. Especially since most of the work he needed to do involved the laptop in his possession.
So, he hobbled his way up to his apartment, much to the horror of any Esper he saw him, and behaved as if everything was fine. He even stopped by the coffee shop to pick up a tea latte. Really proved to them that he wasn’t incompetent, just injured.
Whistling to himself, he headed for the second set of elevators, and watched the Espers who were working out inside of the gym as he passed. They all seemed...stressed. Kellen hated it. He really needed to sign a deal with the Guiding Centers. Fuck.
He should message his old Guiding Center as soon as he got up to his apartment and get the background checks started for them. He knew them. He knew his former coworkers, but it wasn’t about him anymore.
Someone had tried to kill his Dad.
And injure the Guild that the Captain had put so much work into.
He had to make sure that the people he cared about were safe. He just hoped that no one got offended by it. Or, at least, not the people he cared about. Guiding Center A could shove a whole hand up their ass if they got offended. He would not care. Not after offering another Guide to the Captain in front of him.
He wasn’t going to forgive that, ever.
Maybe that didn’t make him a good person, but she did it first. Everyone knew that they were together. She was just being petty. So, Kellen was going to be petty back.
She should have known better than to mess with Henry Wood’s son.
Smiling at that thought, Kellen entered into his apartment, taking a second to put his latte down on the counter before taking off his shoes. It was a longer process due to his injury, but only by a few more minutes.
