Chapter 27:// Paying up
Leo slid the card on the reader, put his good hand on the handle, and tried to push it open.
It didn’t budge. It was, after all, a prison door. Sure, the prison was one of those small holding cells that were automated, with a single warden posted at any given time. But it was still meant to keep people in. Leo looked back, would the big blue bastard have some other biometric that was needed to unlock the door? Would the security system let him through with it? He didn’t want to go back to the cobra. He unconsciously decided to push the door handle one more time, in frustration.
The daemons seized that moment and in their own sped up time, struck up a discussion with the prison door.
