Thorndyke looked like he was going to smash Derik's head into pieces with his bare hands but Gwen decided to be the wiser one between them and placed her hand on Thorndyke's arm.
His skin was hot.
He was burning with this much energy just because Derik called Gwen a hoe?
Damn.
"What are you doing here, Derik?" she asked again, this time with her chin lifted and eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Derik just chuckled, "I suppose you will find out," he glanced at Gwen's hand that was still placed on Thorndyke's arm and his mouth twisted in a scowl, "Soon. You will find out soon."
He lifted his chin and left the room, leaving Gwen drowning herself in question.
What would be so important that he was allowed to be off his duty as a lieutenant and allowed to visit the Academy?
Something was just not adding up.
Nothing was adding up these days.
