BO
I watched the useless Omega disappear into the bathroom. The door clicked shut behind her and I waited. My hands stayed steady at my sides even though my pulse had picked up.
The water turned on. I heard it clearly through the door. A steady rush that filled the silence.
I moved closer. My feet made no sound against the cushioned floor. I pressed my ear to the bathroom door and listened. The water kept running. Then came the quiet splash of someone getting into a full tub. The sound of water sloshing and settling.
Good. She would be in there for a while.
I backed away from the door and crossed the room to where I'd left my bag near the window. My phone sat at the bottom underneath a folded apron and my spare keys of the rooms I looked after. I pulled it out and swiped through my contacts. My thumb hovered over one name.
Alpha Aldric Donlon.
I hit the call button and pressed the phone to my ear. It rang twice before he picked up.
"This better be good news."
