"Even if you were going to use me as a meat shield, you'd need to release me first!" Darryl yelled as he tried shoving my face away, causing my hands to slip as I lost my grip on his shoulders.
"I thought I heard something..." a rather familiar voice said as I was blinded from the sudden light that escaped through the slightly parted door.
