Chapter 83

"What the hell are you doing now?!" Matthias stormed in, stepping right in front of Weill to shield him. "Think playing tough with someone else will scare me? Save the drama and come at me directly!" "So it really is you, Weill?" Nancy peered over his shoulder. Weill froze, eyes filled with panic. He clenched his teeth, then shoved Matthias aside. "I'm Weill! It's me!" "Good, I was looking for you." Without another word, she turned and walked toward the bathroom, Weill trailing behind her. Matthias moved to follow, but the door slammed shut and locked. He banged on it hard, furious. "What are you waiting for? Get someone to break it down!" But before anyone could leap into action, the door clicked open just two minutes later. Weill came out looking like a drenched quail, silently sticking behind Nancy. Someone made a move to comfort him, but Weill darted forward, trying to pull out a chair for Nancy before they even spoke. Matthias looked like he'd just seen a ghost. Nancy didn't sit.
