The blinding rays of the light rushed to my eyes and squinted, allowing my pupils to get accustomed to the rays.In the corners of the room, Elena was seated.

I trailed off, my mind racing with suspicion."I've known you long enough Raymond," Ralph said, setting down his coffee and fixing me with a serious gaze.
