Liam Jennings
"Whaddya think?" I asked, gesturing all over the place.

"It's perfect!" Kurt said, looking around him.

"The bedroom is good, kitchen is practical, bathroom neat! I'll take it!"

"Whoooa, easy there, Richie Rich. I ain't the landlord here. Haha." I joked.

"Riiiight. Hahaha!" Kurt laughed.

"I'll take you to her."

"Great!"

We approached Katherine's apartment.

"Here." We stopped in front of her door.

"Ms. Knight?" I knocked.

"Ms. Knight?" I knocked again.

"Coming!" She answered through the door.

I smiled at Kurt.

Then the door opened.

"Yes? Oh hey, Liam!" Katherine cracked the door open, the door chain still intact.

"Hi Katherine. I have my friend here, Kurt, he's interested in the vacancy next to our apartment."

"Oh that's good! Have you showed him?"

"Yes, I have."

"Well then-" She shut the door, then I heard the chain rustle.

Kurt raised his eyebrows at me. I smiled again.

The door opened and she said:

"Come on in. Let's talk about it."

We went inside then I introduced them to each other.

"Okaaay, let me guys introduce you to one another. Kurt, this is Katherine Knight, the landlord of this apartment, and my good neighbor."

"And Katherine, this is Kurt Smith. My best bud."

They shook hands and said to each other:

"Nice to meet you."

"Okay then. I'll just leave you two to talk, I gotta go back to Reginna to finish some stuff."

"Oh, sure." Kurt answered.

"Okay then." Katherine said with a smile.

I went out the door and entered our apartment.

"Babe, Kurt's taking it!" I closed the door.

When I approached the living room, I saw Reginna and Hannah discussing something serious.

"Hannah??"

Hannah waved at me with a small smile.

"Hi Babe. I heard you. I'm glad Kurt's taking it." Reginna said with a lighter expression than what she had when I saw her.

"Is something the matter?"

They looked at each other.

"Liam.. Sit down.. We have quite a story to tell you." Hannah said.

"What? What is it? Is it something serious?" Worried, I asked as I sat down.

"Babe.." Reginna put her hand on mine.

I looked at her.

"Rudy's back."

"What??"

"And he's abusing my sister." Hannah said.

"Why?? How??"

I turned to Reginna.

"Since when was he back??"
