Hannah appeared, flipping coins in her hand, and remarked coolly, “Long time no see.
It’s disappointing to find you causing trouble every time.
”
“You! You’re back!” Wilfred eximed, surprised yet defiant as he nced at the crowd behind Hannah.
“So what?” he challenged.
A sizable group, maybe twenty or thirty strong, followed Hannah.
They moved forward, and Wilfred’s courage faltered, stopping him from shouting any further.
Hannah approached Trent and Keith, inquiring about their condition.
“Are you both alright?”
“I’m managing, but Trent’s got it worse,” Keith replied.
Only then did Hannah notice Trent’s abdomen was still bleeding.
She assessed the wound quickly, deemed it non-fatal, and directed her group to help Trent get medical attention.
“You should see a doctor too.
I’ll stay here,” she told Keith, reassuring him.
Turning to Wilfred with a stern look, Hannah dered, “He won’t be getting through.

Keith, his arm covered, nodded cautiously, “Be careful.

Wilfred continued, “I propose a split-four for me, six for you.

The corridor fell silent, Hannah remaining nomittal.
Wilfred, undeterred, showed his hand, fingers outstretched.
“No less than three for me, seven for you!”
Hannahughed openly.
“Are you delusional?”
“You!”
“Do you really think I’d agree to that?”
