Chapter 9 - Step Away From the CageRyan laughed nervously.
"Okay. And?"
Clara looked at the cage.
Then at him.
"Step away from it."
Ryan's expression hardened.
"This is private property."
Clara's eyes remained cold.
"Step away."
Chloe stepped forward.
"You can't just walk onto someone's property and start giving orders."
Clara looked at her.
"I'm not giving orders."
She pointed toward Eleanor.
"I'm giving you a warning."
Ryan moved closer.
"You need to leave."
Clara didn't move.
"You have no idea what you're standing in."
Ryan smiled.
"You think you're intimidating?"
"No."
Clara slowly dropped her duffel bag onto the grass.
The heavy thud made both Ryan and Chloe flinch.
"I'm not here to intimidate you."
She looked directly into Ryan's eyes.
"I'm here because you made one mistake."
Ryan frowned.
"What mistake?"

Clara's voice became quieter.
"You thought nobody was coming."
