“Okay.” I wasn’t about to disagree as I turned and went to our office in a hurry. No reason
to linger around.
For some reason, this just felt like a daunting task. Working out of an office seemed stuffy.
As I locked my door, all I saw was paperwork. There was still all the paper on the floor and
we still hadn’t finished going through the phone. Closing my eyes to the paper on the
floor, I just went and sat down at Alec’s desk. It was easy enough to back out of the
pictures and pull up the next folder.
“How is it coming?” I asked, mind-linking Alec. It was about twenty minutes after I felt the
third explosion go off. The entire packhouse shook as they blew the explosives. The first
time it happened I was actually concerned we were having an earthquake.
“Just finishing up. What are you doing?”
“Just finished looking through the files. I didn’t find anything that would be considered out
of the norm.” As much as I studied it, nothing seemed suspicious that I would think would

“I didn’t think there would be. Kinda figured they gave it to us to keep us busy. Not even
even sure that is all the contents of the phone.” Alec sighed as he seemed to lift
something heavy.
“I would love to get my hands on his computer.” Sitting back, I just looked at our messy
office.
“Has he left you alone?”
“Yeah, it’s been extremely quiet. Almost too quiet. I don’t like it.”
“Hopefully things will go back to normal soon.” Alec said but we both knew that was a lie.
“Yeah and Emmy is going to stop crying at everything.” Standing up, I started cleaning up
the paper on the floor. Going in a pattern so if we needed to put it bath together we could.
“S hit.” Alec snorted. “I’ll see you in a few. Stay in the office. I’ll come get you and we can
go up to our
room.”
“What about supper?”
“I ordered pizza for everyone.” Alec said. “You did enough today.”
“Alright.” I wasn’t going to argue. My shoulders were feeling better but it was more

time I was done, I heard the door unlock.
“Hey.” I said as I finished moving the air chair.
“What are you doing?” Alec was covered in sweat and dirt.
“Putting the office back together.” Shrugging, I turned off the lights and walked out the
door that Alec was holding open for me.
“F ucking hot down in the tunnels.” Alec sighed.
“Smells like it.” I pinched my nose together and made a face.
“Funny.” Alec went to put his arm around my but I ducked out of the way.

“You can’t run from me in our room.” Alec called out in a very seductive tone.
“I’ll tell you what…” I was leaning against our bedroom door as he closed the gap. “You
take a shower first and then I’ll show you what else my tongue can do besides being
sarcastic…” I looked up at him and winked.
“I’ll hold you to that.” Alec grumbled as he unlocked the door. I had to laugh as he didn’t
even hesitate walking straight to the bathroom and got in the shower.
“When does the pizza arrive?” I asked, leaning my head into the bathroom.
“About fifteen minutes.” He had just stepped into the water. There wasn’t any steam so he
must be taking a cold shower.
“We are going to meet the pizza guy at the boarder?” I asked.
“No, Jasper is, with another warrior. He will bring it back here.”
“What is our next step? I am completely confused on what we should do. I feel like we
evacuated
everyone for nothing. So I feel like we can’t waste it but I don’t know what to do.”
