NovelOnlineConnor stormed into the room and tossed Barrett onto the carpet without saying a word. He didn't hit him again; he knew Chloe had really gone to town on him this time. Any more, and the guy might actually bite the dust today.
Connor settled into the couch, his presence as icy as a thousand-year-old glacier. "Barrett, who sent you?" Barrett lay on the floor, barely able to move. He felt like every bone in his body was shattered, and even breathing was agony. He stayed silent.
