"What the fuckin' hell-- No. No. Jus' go t' the laundry room an' lock yourselves in. Don' fuckin' come out 'til the alarm goes off, okay?"
Skip herded her aunt, another aunt, and the second aunt's two kids into the wholly protected room. There were no windows, and all the lights of the house were off. The aunt whose house it was had her car parked a few blocks away at a friend's house. Totally human, so he had no idea what was going on, but he was willing to entertain the slightly weird request of her niece. The other family members had been picked up.
For all intents and purposes, it looked like no one was home. Like they, if someone knew what they were, sought shelter somewhere else.
It was stupid to answer the door at all. Because she fucking knew that voice. At the bar, the phone, at the club, even coming back to her place. It could have all been some fucking ploy to get to her or her family tonight. Which was why she grabbed her pistol and unlocked the door, leaving the chain in it. Sure, James was a big enough guy that he could probably break it pretty easily, but it gave her a few extra seconds.
She made no secret of the gun once the door was open against the chain.
"What the fuck do you want? Who the fuck are you?"
Because him being here. tonight. right now. There was no way that was just some fucking coincidence.
