Book 1 : Chapter 35 The Shock Of The Century

November 2nd

The next morning I woke to Max thrashing on the door. I snuggled further underneath the covers with no intention of letting him in.

"I know you are awake so open the fucking door!" Max shouted.

"No thanks!"

"I will knock it down if I have to," he said.

"The age-old threat, go ahead but remember who's house this is," I replied.

"How long is the drive to Kellington?" Max said, a devilish tone creeping into his voice. "Because from my calculations your brother could be dead in 43 minutes and 30 seconds."

With that, I scrambled out of the bed and padded across to unlock the door. I didn't doubt that threat for a second.

Max was leaning against the door frame with a smirk on his face.

"Knew that would work. You have too many weaknesses lil Cuz," he said, wondering past me into the room.

"Now, remember what we agreed last night. Give me yesterday's clothes and get in the shower," Max said.
