Todd turned to the rest of
the group, who were listening to his conversation with Sam. “Wait here for our
return. There are to be no heroes today. You are to remain here and not step
one foot outside this office.”
“But I want to help…they
are also my friends,” said Shana. She
crossed her arms across her chest.
Sam walked over to her and
gazed into her eyes. “I can’t do my job if I have to worry about you
and your friends. Please wait here for us.”
“I’ll wait.”
Todd asked Linda, “Will
you also promise to stay put?”
“All right,” Linda replied.
Todd stared at her to check if she was still angry
with him, but she refused to look him in the face. How could he ever explain to
her about his control over the stairs and the front door? He didn’t have time
to deal with this now. He hurried to follow Sam out of the office.
