Chapter 42

“Wow, really? That is completely fucked up, you all are completely fucked up. This does explain a lot though. I mean, that’s why you two are so weird and overprotective. Wow, just wow.”

Kevin motioned for the door again and swung it open, running out, then fell backward. He didn’t see that Carmen was heading inside and ran right into her. Kevin is a pretty big guy, and the collision sent her back as well, rolling down the small set of stairs. Angel and I ran towards her, passing Kevin. Once he got up he also ran towards us.

We picked Carmen up and brought her into the room, making sure to place her gently on the couch.

“Thank you,” I said to Kevin.

“I’m just making sure that Carmen is okay. She’s a sweetheart.”

“You can say that again,” Carmen said weakly. “What happened?”

I looked at Kevin, then at naked Angel, then back at Carmen.

“You fell down the stairs. Does anything hurt? We should get you to a hospital anyways, to see if you have a concussion or something.”
