Shut down?!
With a 'snap', the man slammed his cell phone on the table. Frustrated, he tugged at his tie and slumped onto the couch.
He had been guarding Elijah in the hospital for two days and was very tired. He fell asleep without realizing it.
When he woke up, it was already dark outside.
He looked at his wristwatch: 11 o'clock.
But that damn woman still hadn't returned?
He picked up the phone again and dialed, but it still rang to the same mechanical shutdown tone.
Feeling restless and irritable, he got up, paced back and forth a few steps, and then randomly pushed open a door.
As the room light turned on, he couldn't help but let out a surprised 'huh.'
The room had changed somehow.
Truth be told, this apartment was originally his.
