“That was why he grew agitated and injured Mr. Ford who happened to be waiting outside the house,” the police officer explained in an effort to mediate the situation.
“Both parties are at fault here,” he concluded.
Michael gritted his teeth. “I'm at fault for waiting outside the door?” “What were you doing waiting outside someone's house in the middle of the night anyway?

Michael must've undoubtedly been frightened. Heck, his knees might still be secretly shaking.
“Steven did it on purpose,” Michael said as he looked at me. “He's liable to go hysterical at any given point.
“Let’s see just how long you'll last by his side. Who knows, he might end up choking you to death in the middle of the night!” Michael then glanced at the tand saw that it was already 3 am.

What was he doing waiting forto show up at Lincoln residence the entire night? Why didn’t he stay by his “kind hearted” sweetheart, Yasmin, at the hospital instead? Between Michael and Steven, Michael was more of a lunatic to me.
“Coutside!” | called angrily to Steven. He was still hiding behind the door after Michael left.
Steven slowly walked out with his head bowed, looking aggrieved.
“What were you doing out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?” | yelled at him, all my patience gone.

“People sometimes can’t compare to them,” Steven's expression turned darkly, and the atmosphere suddenly grew cold.

“Ahem. That's enough now. Don’t talk about this here in the doorway.” Zion opened his car door. “Get in. I'll drop you guys back home.” | dragged Steven into the car with me, hands trembling in anger.
