Josh couldn’t believe the disaster that he walked into. The kitchen and living room was pretty well trashed. Apparently someone had broken in, and Josh felt queasy thinking about Void again. He found the servant girl he always talked to, and he questioned her about what had happened.
“One of the supers broke in,” she said, quietly, her eyes looking down at the floor. “Sir. He, um, tied a few of us up, and when the blonde woman returned, he attacked her.”
“... What did he look like?” Josh asked.
“Kind of… snakelike. He was very strong. I got a terrible vibe from him, sir. Just… generally uncomfortable in his presence. I came through the living room while he was here and he instructed I fetch him a whiskey on the rocks. I was fortunate that was all he wanted from me.” She paused.
“Well, I know who that sounds like exactly.” Josh said, disgusted. “How was Lydia, was she okay?”
“She got kicked a few times but luckily the other super stepped in.”
“I’ll go check on her.” Josh went towards her room, stopping short. He leaned against the wall out of sight when he heard Adrian pounding on her door and yelling for her.
Lydia was sitting on the floor, stretching her legs and arms, hoping to be back to full strength again by tomorrow. Thomas’ attack had shaken her down to her core. She wouldn’t say scared her. She didn’t get scared. But she wanted to be at her best for if he came back. She couldn’t let that happen. The best way to do it was to do some stretching and let her muscles rest… She winced when she heard Adrian pounding at the door. He sounds angry. She got to her feet, trying to figure out how best to hide the bruise on her throat. She slipped on her exercise jacket, assuming that would work. It covered her neck, and it didn’t look too weird because she was exercising.
She opened the door, one hand resting on the frame, leaning against it. She rested her head against her hand on the doorframe, an odd look in her eyes as she stared him down. “What?” she questioned. Defiance was written across her face, because she assumed he was still A) pissed about the parking lot, and B) pissed about her destroying the kitchen. “Should I come out or are you going to yell at me through the doorway?”
