Theo glanced at him, shocked.
Before he could react any further, Owen yanked his arm hard and pulled him off the street.
''Get in here!'' he hissed urgently.
Theo stumbled through the broken entrance of a small family restaurant, still confused by everything.
Just before the door slammed shut behind him, his gaze flicked back toward the bus stop one final time.
That's when his expression paled.
Beneath the girls' beautiful upper bodies, long silver-blue fish tails swayed slowly above the flooded street.
'Sirens?!'
The realization sent a chill down his spine.
BANG!
Owen quickly shoved a broken freezer in front of the only opening before grabbing Theo again.
"Come on," he whispered.
Theo followed him past broken tables, counters, and shattered plates, heading deeper into the restaurant.
Owen led him into a small storage room in the back.
The moment he opened the door and they stepped through, several terrified gazes locked onto him.
Theo froze for a moment too.
