I decided to keep everything from the month of July onward. The new guy just sat, watching me as I rifled through the files as fast as I could. I hurried through the office and headed to Bryan's old desk. They had to be, right? No sense in treading carefully. My gut was churning hard and I realized they really were waiting for something. ![]() All the eyes followed me as I did it, but no one stopped me. Drawing a shaky breath, I slowly pushed out my chair and stood up. I suppose the hive network took a little time to process things? It felt like they were waiting for something. Around the office, more eyes were slowly falling on me, carrying the same look as Marcia's. Marcia just stared back with a dead look on her face, cold eyes still glaring. "H-how are you today, Marcia?" I tried to smile. I wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of surviving much longer without it. But I needed whatever was on Bryan's computer even more. Intense fear began bubbling up in my stomach. I could see the same look in her eyes that Jordyn had. Marcia dropped her purse forcefully against her desk, making eye contact with me and never breaking it. ![]() The question is, how am I supposed to get into it now? I was trying to puzzle this out when I felt eyes, slowly glaring, starting to fall on me. ![]() It might not tell me much, but it could give me something. I felt lost but there was only one thing to do to get the room to stop spinning. There's essentially three of us left at best. The room was spinning again as I kept getting hit with the waves of realization that I was utterly and completely. A small voice in the back of my mind kept yelling, Motherfucker. But I'd be a liar if I said I wasn't somewhat resentful. Mostly, I was really happy that he got out, that his brother had found him.
