Chapter 21
As Liz walked with determined steps towards Mr. Greenlundâs office she could hear voices speaking from behind the door leading to the third floor but she didnât care what they said. At least they hadnât started to bash the door open or even tried to open it, it seemed like. Liz glanced at the still unconscious guard and a flash of anger came over her and she deeply regretted she hadnât killed him. But no, she would save all her rage for Mr. Greenlund.
Liz didnât knock on the door, she just tore it open and slammed it close behind her. She could see who she assumed was Mr. Greenlund sitting behind a large desk at the far side of the room. The room was so big, it was like two of the bedrooms Liz had been in down on the third floor. Liz locked the door behind her, staring intensely at the man.
âWho are-â¦â Mr. Greenlund started.
Liz grabbed the bookshelf near the door and tipped it over so it blocked the entrance, the only way out now was the window behind him and Liz was quite sure he didnât want to jump out from the fourth floor. He was only human after all. Mr. Greenlund had risen from his seat, his face flushed red with anger. He didnât look entirely as Liz had expected. He was younger than sheâd thought, and he had sand blond hair and vivid green eyes. He was tall and lean but there was something grim and cruel lurking in those large eyes.
âNow,â Liz said, trying to contain her anger. âLetâs talk.â
âWho are you?â He yelled in a commanding voice. âWhat are you doing here?â
He then saw the tattoo around her neck.
âI suggest you leave before I have you executed, monster,â Mr. Greenlund spat out.
Liz moved quickly, before he could yell or do anything really. She grabbed him by the jacket and flung him onto the floor. His body hit the wood with a hard thud and he gasped in surprise and pain.
âBitch!â He yelled. âDo you know who I am?!â
Liz moved up to him and pinned him to the floor, sheâd put one of her boots straight on his chest and no matter how much he struggled or wriggled, he was cemented to the floor.
âI know who you are,â Liz said, her voice shaking with rage. âI guess you donât know who I am though. If you did, you wouldnât talk to me like that.â
âWhy would I know who you are? You are a sickness, a stain on this world, a disgusting mockery of humans! You are a monster!â He screamed with distaste. âMy guards will be here any second a-â¦â
âYou want to call me a monster,â Liz said, challenging him, pushing down her boot on his chest. âIâll show you a monster.â
He let out a yelp of pain.
âDid that hurt?â Liz asked without remorse. âGood.â
She pushed down a little more and she thought she heard something crack, perhaps one of his ribs. He screamed, it was a high pitched sound that rang in her ears.
