Even though I slept in pretty late, Thomas was still sound asleep when I finally got up. I left as quietly as I could so I wouldn’t wake him, which was impossible considering he was a vampire, but if I disturbed him, I couldn't tell. Rak hopped off the bed and padded silently out behind me into the hall. TS’ door was closed but I could hear him snoring softly as I tiptoed down the stairs, satisfied that everyone was back home safely.
I made some coffee and helped myself to a bowl of cereal while it brewed. After getting a mug, I settled down on the couch in the living room and fooled around on my phone for a few minutes, before turning my attention to the huge stack of papers on the coffee table. Just before I could grab my first file, I got a text from Mariana to let me know she was about to leave for lunch and would be heading over after that. Right after I replied, I heard the stairs creak and turned to see Thomas coming down.
“Good morning,” he said.
“Morning.”
“What's with all the paper?”
“Grab yourself a cup of coffee and I'll explain everything.”
He raised a curious eyebrow at me, but did as I suggested. Soon the two of us were sitting on the couch together. Thomas listened, quickly forgetting all about his coffee, as I explained everything Jon asked us to do and about all of the files and information we had found so far.
“Wow,” he said when I was done. “Wow. That's… disturbing.”
“Yeah.”
He looked at my piles. “So, these are all the altered ones that Ember printed off?” I nodded. “Find anything?”
“I haven't had a chance to go through them yet. We left not long after she printed them.”
“You want some help?” He grinned sheepishly. “I am sort of a fast reader.”
I laughed, but accepted his offer. I liked to think that I was a fairly fast reader in my own right, but couldn't possibly keep up with the speed of a vampire.
Thomas picked up the first file and looked at it. “All of the changes are in red?”
“Yeah,” I said. “The first file is what's on the frontend and anything red in the second file was deleted or altered.”
Thomas nodded. “Sounds good.” I only just started looking at mine when Thomas muttered. “That's funny…” He flipped through his several more times, so quickly I could hardly see the pages move. “The only thing that got changed in this file is that they deleted the vacation record. How weird.”
“Why does MES keep track of that anyway?” I asked. I had taken several calls which were just people letting me know that they would be on vacation and the dates, then I was supposed to add them to the database, even if they didn't work for MES.
“You know what Charlie's job entails, right?” Thomas asked.
I nodded. Charlie’s job involved working with all of the local businesses that served magics in some way. He
