What did you do, Walren?

I, um. I accidentally broke into a restaurant?
He could almost hear crickets in the silence that followed.

WTF

HOW do you “accidentally” break into a restaurant?!?!?
HocusPocus
Weren’t you supposed to stay in the safe house?
Walren cringed and tried to answer their never-ending questions.
Thump!
Walren froze immediately.Did I just hear something?
He strained his ears for the slightest noise.
The sound came again, low quiet thumps against the floor.
Walren’s heart flew into his throat. With hands that were suddenly shaking, he lowered the brightness on his phone, hurriedly typing a message.
NotAWalrus
Crap I think there’s someone in here with me
Crap crap crap

On the far side of the restaurant, a big, hulking shadow moved.
Walren clapped his hands over his mouth to stifle his scream.Oh gods, oh gods!
He zipped up his hoodie and shoved his phone into his pocket. Then he grabbed the cucumber that he had set on his thigh.
When he looked up again, the shadow was gone.
Walren waited for a tense minute. He crawled out warily from under the table, holding his breath as he crept toward the back door.
Was it him, or had the smoky ironwood scent intensified?
To his surprise, it smelled better than before.
It was addictive.
