"What do you mean it's hot?" asked Liu Yu Zeng a look of concern flashed over his face as he brought his handgun back up to shoulder height. Holding it steady, he looked at Chen Zi Han. They nodded at each other and Chen Zi Han, Liu Wei, and Wang Chao all brought their guns up too and started to clear the kitchen side of the room.
Liu Yu Zeng motioned for me to come closer to him and as soon as I was within arms reach, he pulled me against his chest and brought his gun in front of me. My back to his chest, he wrapped his left arm around my waist while his right arm was lifted and ready to pull the trigger.
Chen Zi Han turned to look at him and the other guys and when Liu Yu Zeng nodded, he quickly threw open the bottom far right cupboard door. There was nobody in it. Just a bunch of canisters of whole coffee beans, packets of coffee whiteners, sweeteners, and sugars as well as disposable paper cups with lids.
