Chapter 24
Hearing about Cody's predicament, Angela was fuming. "Give him a beating and get him out of there!"
Sure, Cody had made a mistake, but he'd stockpiled all of Stella's needed medicine - not only was it all there, but he'd saved her both money and hassle. As a friend, Stella couldn't just stand by. After all, Cody had taken a beating for her when they were kids. Without hesitation, Angela kicked the door in, shouting, "Listen up, you've got one minute to clear out. If you don't, you don't want to know what will happen next!"
However, the only response was silence.
Stella handed Angela a crowbar from her bag. Angela, with her brute strength, started prying at the door.
"Who are you?" A voice suddenly echoed from behind them.
A couple in their sixties were walking up the stairs with a young girl who looked no older than nine. They were carrying a hefty bag containing what looked like an inflatable boat. Spotting the bag, Stella immediately recognized it as the one she had anonymously bought for Cody.
The brand was a professional one, not the sort an average person would choose to buy. In other words, these people were not only leeching off of Cody, but they were also hoarding the supplies she had bought.
Stella dragged the young girl by the collar to the door. "If you don't open this door, I won't hesitate to hurt your parents and your daughter."
She even pulled out a knife, scaring the girl into tears. "Mommy, mommy..."
The parents rushed in, stomping and shouting, "Murder! Murder!"
"Go ahead and scream. Let the whole building know that you've taken over someone else's home and pushed them to the brink."
