BODIEThe sound of raised voices wakes me up from sleep.

The voices aren't loud.

They are sharp

It's the kind that cuts through sleep instantly.

I turn to look at Helda. She's still sound asleep. The sound didn't wake Halle either.

Her small chest heaves up and down as she breathes softly.

Moving quietly, I step out of the bed and head towards the living area.

The noise is coming from downstairs.

I assume it's around the lobby area.

My jaw tightens in agitation.

Isn't it too early for any ...
