Chapter 274: Ellis Is Not Okay

Olivia POV

It was like a woodpecker on speed. Banging into the wood of the door like it was desperately searching for worms.

“Are you okay?” Jenny asked Luke, standing behind her in full kevlar like a bodyguard.

“Um, yes, I think so,” I said, scanning the room anyway, just in case there was an unseen threat.

“It's afternoon,” Luke said.

“How late?”

“About half past one,” Jenny said, checking her watch.

“The kids are already at school.”
