Chapter 14: Uphold

Leonardo awakens to the feeling of a soft mattress under his back. From the sight of the ceiling alone, he knew that he wasn’t in the living room anymore. He can hear the humming of the room’s air conditioner, along with a few muffled shuffling from beyond this room’s doors. Knowing that he’s currently in the bedroom, he deduces that everything has calmed down. Even though he had awoken from a vicious fight, not a single part of his body is hurting or out of place. Raising the arm Katcha had stabbed, he took a closer look and could not find a single hint of scarring. It was clean and free from blood. The last thing he remembered was Goldie dragging him away.

The sound of something slowly creaking fills the room. Leonardo turns his attention to the door being opened by Darryl.

“Hey, you’re awake,” The young man chimes in.

Leonardo sits up from his bed and looks at Darryl, eye to eye.

“What’s happening?”
