““loud knock pounded on the door. Kiara jumped and bit back a scream as Syn leveled his blaster at the door faster than she could blink. “You wonder why I drink,” Syn muttered. “Stay down.” He moved to the bar and flicked on the video console that showed Darling on the other side of the door, looking bored. Syn holstered his blaster. Crossing the room, he opened the door and hauled Darling into the apartment by the front of his shirt. “Hey!” Darling snapped, shoving him back. “What the hell are you doing?” Syn locked the door. “Aksel’s after us. You’re lucky he didn’t shoot you while you were jacking off in the hallway.””
