In the bath

With the line of work his family was in and especially his half-brother, Kyle could guess what was on the other side of the bathroom door. He could already imagine that the muffled screams meant they belonged to someone trapped inside. That being the case, it now made perfect sense why Simon had told the Degraces to stay away until he called for them.

‘I should just leave, I have enough to get Simon into trouble…’ Kyle told himself, already heading to the door, but rather than exiting, now that he was in the main kitchen. He had decided to grab a knife instead.

‘No, Dad really cares for Simon… he really does, maybe just a few failed tasks here and there won’t be enough to just get him kicked out of the Underdogs. They said that there was something big, and this could be it.’

Heading back to the bathroom door, Kyle stood outside it, he had tiptoed back and could no longer hear the muffled noises. Whoever was inside must have thought that he had left.
