Just as Neil and I were at impasse, a person appeated at the top of the stairs. It was Simmons. Taking in the scene, Simmons quickly trotted down the stairs and landed a punch on Neil’s face.

You jerk He gave a shout of anger.

With fruits scattered all over the floor and my hair in disarray, anyone would ve pictured an unpleasant situation.
