Chapter 14 of BatB! Catch up, read, comment, the end is approaching!
________Hotaru stopped the car and turned to Mina. “Are you sure about this? There’s still time to back out.”
“I should be saying that to you. I’ve got the reason to be here.”
“Please, this is too cool for me to back out now.” But she hesitated with her hand on the door handle, staring ahead. “You think there’s any chance Teenie’s great gran is still in there somehow?”
“It would hardly be the weirdest thing in this scenario.” Minako squinted at Hotaru in the dark. “Is that why you’ve been so interested in my case?”
“Nah, I hardly even believed the whole thing until we were here. I just like to annoy Rei.” She grinned. “But since it is real… it would be nice if they got a little closure, one way or another.”
“Well, what’s better closure than killing the damn monster?” Mina opened her door. “Let’s do this.”
As soon as Hotaru disappeared around the corner to sneak in, Mina’s bravado deserted her. They’d decided she was safer unarmed, in case the monster would notice. She had nothing to protect her but natural charm. She had a lot of it, but faced with the big oak door in the dark, it didn’t feel like enough.
Minako knocked hard anyway, and then pushed her way inside. “Hello?” She yelled. Her voice echoed against the walls and made her feel small. “Haruka?”
“You shouldn’t be here.”
