James Black could no longer hear Jane Sampson's teasing voice, and felt his ears had finally gotten a bit of peace.

Since he planned to have Jane Sampson stay with the guard team for a while, he had been gradually preparing things for her, new toiletries, the shower gel she liked, and of course, the can of milk powder, as well as a bag of Alps lollipops he had put under the TV cabinet in the living room but which had been taken by that kid, Peter Gingery.
After waiting a short while, the water boiled, and James Black took out a cup, scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder into it, stirred it, and then, cup in hand, he opened the kitchen door ready to step out.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw the person he had left in the bedroom standing at the doorway, grinning threateningly at him with bared teeth, and James Black was not surprised.
