Chapter 259: Mom to the rescue?
A knock sounded at the door and Kellen wondered who got past Maeve.
Both the Captain and Casper froze, and Kellen had to detach himself from Rhys, and use one hand holding onto the bookshelf to get to the door since his cane was behind the desk. Unlocking the door, he opened it slightly to stare into the same eyes he had.
"Mom?" He said, startled and she frowned at him.
"Why aren’t you opening the door more?" She demanded and Kellen glanced behind her to find Maeve looking shocked and Brent with the smaller Guide Kellen had left him in charge of. Brent looked a little guilty, but didn’t apologise.
"Uh, well,"
"Are you and Rhys getting up to something you shouldn’t in your office?" She asked, not quietly at all. Kellen’s cheeks flushed.
"Mom! Of course not!" Kellen felt his voice get a little shrill. He cleared his throat. "No. I’m having a...impromptu meeting. What brings you here? I didn’t think you’d leave Dad’s side." Her face fell and her cheeks flushed.
"Your Dad got uh, a little angry at me and told me to give him some space." She mumbled and Kellen smirked. So she’d hovered a little too close to him and he’d finally snapped. Figured. Kellen’s grip tightened on the door.
"So you came to bother me?" Kellen asked and she huffed.
"I didn’t come to bother you. I came to ask about the kid, where you found him, and if you’d heard any news about who’d done this yet?" Kellen shook his head.
"I’m not sending my Mom who can turn invisible to commit crimes, alright? Not happening." Kellen stated clearly and she scoffed.
