Chapter fifteen

After fleeing Daniel’s having achieved nothing at all, I woke early the following morning. Allowing myself to be exposed like that, to someone whose loyalty I had been severely questioning, was very unlike me and I wasn’t too fond of it to be honest.

I left his place pretty quickly after the reality of my openness had sunk in. No way in hell did I want to be opening up to, not only someone I have only known a few weeks, but someone who could possibly be behind Penelope’s attack and the infiltration that risked the potential downfall of the organisation that gave me a reason to get up in the morning.

I hated feeling so conflicted. So much of me wanted to shoot him, but not because of his presumed guilt, I wanted to shoot him for having this horrid effect on me.

Deciding to put last night’s events into the back of my mind for now, instead opting to head down to the office to check on Marcy and her progress. Hopefully she was getting closer to pinpointing the ID number for the person responsible for all this mess and hopefully that person was not Daniel.

Walking into the office later that morning, there was a strange vibe suffocating the entire place. Everyone was tense, on edge and for the life of me, I had no idea why. I went into the tech room to find the small girl - whose name I later discovered was Maxine – wiping her eyes with the cuff of her sweater. She had clearly been crying, only just managing to maintain any form of composure. What the hell was going on?

“Hey? Is everything ok?” I asked, approaching her cautiously. She looked up at me and as if my very face was the reflection of her pain, she broke out in heaving sobs, making any form of communication she attempted, practically inaudible.

I left the room, on a mission to find someone, anyone, who could tell me why everyone around here was so highly strung today.

Not looking where I was going I bumped straight into a tall, dark skinned man of around six foot three. Skipping politeness, I instantly probed him for answers, not in the slightest however, was I expecting the answer he gave.

Marcy was attacked last night and she was in the hospital. Only problem being the biggest one of all. She wasn’t a patient. She was in the morgue. The people who attacked her, didn’t leave room for error, they finished the job the first time. Funny thing about a bullet to the temple, they usually don’t have much of a survival rate.

I didn’t really know Marcy very well, I didn’t really like her very much, but she was a colleague and she was our best chance at getting into the tech system and catching the person responsible for all this with the intention to potentially cause much more damage before they were done. But, even though I didn’t know her, she was sent up here with me, I was in charge of the five of us.
