Ding! Ding!
The smooth and relaxing sound of his doorbell ringing cut through the empty apartment like a wake up call.
It was quite the contrast from the apartment's previous silence.
Nick blinked, almost unwilling to give up the comfortable position he'd just found on the couch as he sat up.
His eyes flicked to the door, confused as hell.
'Who the hell?'
He stood up slowly, with his instincts immediately sharpening from the moment the doorbell rang out once again.
One time might have been a mistake, or just a curious knock, maybe from a neighbour or something.
But two rings? That had to mean that they were there for this apartment specifically.
Nick's focus heightened, and his cautiousness raised to a high level.
After everything he'd been through in the Beast Domain, he'd learned that you didn't survive long without learning to treat even the smallest disturbance as a potential threat.
