Premature Question

JIEGO

The sound of something cutting through on the other side of the steel door made Tina stood up. For some reason, it made her stop crying.

“Finally…” – she murmured as she stood up

I licked my lips. I know who is the person behind the door. I also know this is not free help, not made willingly or because he cares for his nephew and his fiancé. Instead, this is a help imbued by an ulterior motive.

And that doesn’t sit well with me.

“Just stay in that side of the elevator, Tina. You might be hurt.”

By what, I also asked myself as she looked at me, confused.

I shrugged it off and waited until I heard voices coming from the other side. I recognized them as belonging to the security guards on duty today, Marvin and Jonas. A few minutes more, the elevator door opened with a rusty creak.
