Removing potential roadblocks

He had to make sure that no one interfered with his plan to claim Kelli. As a man who frequently listened to office chit-chat to find potential targets to Barrow, he doubted that anyone in the office knew of Kelli’s existence, aside from perhaps Tes. Millie, of course, had already been fucked **** by him. That left two loose ends for him to settle.

Sheila was one, obviously. Though she did thoroughly enjoy being Barrowed just now, Barry had no doubt that she would prevent her innocent younger daughter from being seduced by him. Sheila just didn’t seem like the type to let her children go wild like that, especially since she originally came to the party to check if her late-20s daughter was ok.

Tessa was the other snag. She most definitely knew of the Barrower’s reputation, and would try to protect her friend’s sister from falling into his grasp.
