Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Hearing Odie's voice, Sophie's heart skipped a beat. If Odie walked in now, Logan was toast.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Outside the door, Jonah frowned. "Boss, I've got the key card. Why don't we just go in?"

Odie ignored him and called out, "Sophie, I'm being pretty polite right now. Don't make me break down the door."

Sophie glanced at Logan, who already had his gun out. She quickly grabbed his hand to stop him from shooting and yelled, "Hold on! Just give me a minute!"

Her voice was frantic, and Odie could hear the tension. "What? Did you manage to hide a man in there already?"

Sophie's heart raced at his accurate guess. "No! I'm taking a shower, and I'm not dressed!"

"A shower? With everything happening outside, you're showering? Do you think I'm that dumb?" Odie's voice dripped with impatience. "Hurry up, or I'm coming in." "Boss, don't waste time. She's been in there forever. Something's definitely up!”

Jonah swiped the key card, opening the door to an empty room, except for the firmly shut bathroom door.

Sophie's panicked voice came from inside. "Who said you could come in?"

Odie frowned. "Get out! All of you, out!"

Sophie's voice was urgent. The bathroom door was tightly shut, and Odie took a few steps closer. "What are you doing in there?"

"I told you, I'm showering! Odie, if you come in, you're dead!"

Odie chuckled coldly. "Showering? Alone, or with Colby?"

He flung the bathroom door open. Steam filled the room, and a wave of hot air hit his face. He could barely make out Sophie in the bathtub, her Ck and shoulders exposed her

face flushed from the heat

Odie instinctively closed the door. Jonah stepped forward. "Boss, she..."

"Get out!" Odie snapped, startling Jonah, who quickly left.

Inside the bathroom, Sophie stuttered, "Odie! What the hell are you doing? When I get out, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Odie looked flustered for a moment.

He crossed his arms, his back to the bathroom. "Sophie, have you lost it? Who takes a bath in the middle of the night?"

"What else was I supposed to do? Why don't you ask about the drugs you've got at the banquet hall? I'm human. I react!" "What drugs? What are you talking about?"

Odie's question was reflexive, but he

quickly realized she meant the

stimulants used at the Mintons

parties. The scent was so common he never considered Sophie's reaction to it.

Sophie didn't want him to enter just then and with her flushed face, Odie's mind filled with scenarios.

Just then, the bathroom door swung open. Sophie stood there wrapped in a towel, her long legs catching his eye.

Odie quickly turned away. "Sophie, coming out in just a towel? Are you waiting for someone to take advantage of you?"
