The soft hum of the music filled the otherwise quiet room. Sunlight streamed in through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the floor. I ran a hand through my hair, shaking my head.
"So what should I do today?" I whispered to the empty room after a Sighh.
The thought lingered in my mind as I set my hand inside the pocket of my pants. Last night had been exhausting. Between the fights, the chase, and the explosion at the shore, my body still felt sore. I could easily spend the entire day just lying in bed, but that wasn't an option.
Maybe I should meet up with John and the girls again. They'd probably have something planned. Drinking? Gambling? Maybe just hanging out at some fancy club? Whatever it was, at least it would keep me occupied until nightfall.
Decision made, I grabbed my jacket, slung it over my shoulder, and headed for the door.
The lock clicked as I turned the key. I stepped outside, closed the door behind me, and—
I stopped in my tracks.
