Chapter 18.

As soon as she saw the retreating figure of her friend which was unlike him, she saw red. She figured he had probably said something to dampen his bubbly spirit and it made Laurel very angry.

She knew her friend wouldn't have left her in the arms of strangers she claimed to be her friends. She waited for Lucas to settle down before she snapped.

'What did you do to my friend?"

Lucas didn't look very surprise to see her angry. It only made Laurel madder as he looked over to her wearily. He looked at her like she was some child who lost her toy.

'I sent him away. You don't want to know what I said to him. Now, are we getting this cat or not?" he asked, getting out of the car and Laurel's question was left hanging in the air again.

They were both waiting for her to walk into the space between them. Are they playing body guards today or…? Laurel asked herself sarcastically. As they all walked into the building, eyes stared at them.
