Chapter 226 - 227 Man-child
‘Police came,’ Priya said. ‘They’re handling it. Rhys and Dan both got hurt. Dan’s worse. They’ve been taken to the hospital.’ She paused. ‘The studio’s a wreck. Again.’
I sighed. ‘I’m on my way.’
I couldn’t leave Priya to deal with the mess alone.
When I got there, the street was empty, and the police were gone.
Inside, the door was still half-open, the metal frame bent slightly at the hinge.
The place looked like it had been trashed by a lunatic with a baseball bat.
Computers were smashed, monitors on the floor, their screens cracked.
Tables were overturned; chairs were scattered, some snapped in half, the stuffing spilling out.
Blood streaked the white tiles in two directions, thick and dark, already drying at the edges.
I didn’t want to know who had left it.
I got to work clearing glass, dragging chairs into a pile, picking up splintered wood.
Priya helped silently.
