Expectancy

Richard's POV

I bit so hard into my lips that the taste of blood filled it, with a hand weaving through my hair, I was frustrated. Another dead end but I knew that I couldn't give up, not when Kelvin was out there.

Fuck. I cursed, kicking hard against the stone stomped hard in front of me with arms akimbo. I needed to think.

Think Richard, you have to do that. I chide myself, whispering still to myself.

With a long last glance at the house that reminded me of all that I wanted to forget, I swept a long glance through it before walking in strides to the car.

“ How are you feeling?”

“ Numb” I answered innocently, my mind was a mess. A wrecking mess that threatened to go off at any time and I needed to get out of here.

Ryan's hands strayed to my shoulders, squeezing it hard. “ He is fine. Kevin is okay” he assured me.

I was still and silent because I couldn't say a thing. Nothing makes any sense to me at the moment. “We have to leave. Time is precious, and we have to put it to work”
