Bill turned the key and pushed the door as Mai's bodyguard moved past him quickly and stepped into the apartment first. Reaching for the light switch next to the door he flicked it on and moved quickly around the somewhat spartan apartment. Mai held Bill's arm at the door, but Bill pulled free and stepped into the living room. Realized that the airless space was oppressive after being empty for so long he reached for the master switch to the overhead fans he flipped them on as Mai stepped in behind him.
Mai's bodyguard came from the bedroom and nodded almost imperceptibly that everything seemed clear.
Prior to entering Bill's apartment complex she had won a small concession from him by getting Bill to agree to have her bodyguards accompany them, but her whispered conversation to her team had seen them move stealthily in advance as they entered the complex much to Bill's chagrin.
To be safe Mai had positioned her body guards at the front gate and doorway to his apartment complex as well accompanying them to Bill's apartment.
She was less than pleased that Bill wanted to stay in his apartment, but also sensed that he needed to decide what was best without pushing him too far she acquiesced...but only to a point.
She began planning their next move...
