Inelegant, good wolves

Samantha had just chosen a t-shirt, grey and with letters, when she heard the knocking. Renato had just started his shower, so whoever was looking for him had to wait.

The second time they knocked insistently, she walked to open.

«Renato can't, right now,» she said.

It was Ale. He had a pale expression and was sweating as if in panic. Yet, what could make him so scared? Was Luciano Polenta back?

«We need him,» Ale said. «There's an emergency.»

«I said he can't,» Samantha repeated. «He's showering. Also, he's weak. Survive on your own for a few hours, would you? I won't let him walk around when he should be resting to recover.»

«He looked okay, to me, half an hour ago.»

«He isn't,» Samantha said, crossing her arms.

«But it's an emergency. We don't know what to do, and the other guards are confused by the situation.»

«Situation?»

«Someone is making trouble. They want to talk with Renato.»
