Jennifer slammed into the locked door hard enough for the metal to rattle inside its frame.
Pain shot through her shoulder.
She barely noticed.
Another bang came immediately after, her fist colliding against the steel with a sharp crack.
Then another.
"How?" she whispered to herself.
The word came out strangled.
Humiliating.
How could she have let that happen?
Her breathing turned uneven as she paced once before kicking the door violently.
"YOU'LL REGRET CHOOSING HER, ADRIAN!! MARK MY WORDS!!"
Her voice echoed brutally through the isolated corridor outside.
She gripped the bars of the small window and looked out just in time to catch Adrian and Lila disappearing around the corner.
"I COULD'VE MADE YOU INTO A GOD!!"
Nothing.
No hesitation.
No glance back.
They vanished from sight completely.
Jennifer cursed under her breath and yanked the walkie-talkie from her waist hard enough to nearly rip the strap free. She pressed the button immediately.
