William arrived at work the next day to find the departmental office space in a really weird mood. Everyone, as in both the junior and senior interns, seemed happy to see him.“Hey, William. How was last night?” Armando waved over at the new intern with a smile.William paused on his way to his desk for a moment, with confusion on his face as he doubted if Armando was really talking to him. “Don’t be shocked, Bro,” Drew called from his desk as well. “Armando is talking to you.” He sent a head nod with a slight smile as well.William blinked before nodding his head in response. “I’m doing well, I guess. Last night was…pretty uneventful for me.” He slowly walked the rest of the way to his desk. “What about you guys?”“We’re good.” Drew and Armando answered at the same time, causing them to glance at each other nervously. The tones they had used weren’t very convincing, but they tried to smile it away.William found it weird, but he decided not to bother with what was up with the
The welcome party for William was hosted at Laura’s apartment. At first, William had been worried that there would be a lot of drinking involved, but the other junior interns informed him that they are usually allowed to come in late the following day after a welcome party celebration. Thus, William had no other excuse to deny this invitation. William had an ominous expression as he took the elevator to the floor where Laura’s apartment was located. As he walked out of the elevator, heading to the designated apartment number, he quickly texted someone. He got to the apartment door and was about to knock when the door was opened from the inside.“Finally, the celebrant made it.” Laura was now standing at the doorway with a bright smile. She quickly grabbed William’s hand and pulled him into the apartment. “Come on in! Everyone has been waiting for you.”William entered the apartment to find various dancing colored lights dimly accentuating the balloons hanging on the wall, along wi
“Wait!”“Hold on!”Laura, Amma, and Drew suddenly spoke out at the same time. They then stared at each other, surprised to find themselves in a similar state.Ian froze as the needle was mere inches from piercing William’s skin. “What is it?!” He asked, a little pissed at the outburst.“Don’t do it, Senior Ian.” Amma shook her head with a distressed expression. She took a couple of steps backward while shaking her head. “This….this is not right. Am I the only one who sees we’re going too far?!”There was a moment of silence before Laura spoke with a former tone. “Nope, you’re not the only one, Amma.” She turned to Ian. “We should stop this before we reach a point of no return.”Ian chuckled with an exasperated tone. “Are you guys kidding me right now? What’s wrong with you guys? Is your moral compass suddenly going off or something?”“Senior Ian, I agree with the ladies as well.” Drew calmly spoke. “I’ve always wanted to put a stop to this the whole time, but….” He shook his he
The next morning, Supervisor Bright prepared for her usual morning routine before she headed out to the headquarters. She woke up to a kiss from her husband before she then woke her daughter up. All three prepared each other as the little daughter also had to go to school. Unknown to the family of three though, there was a shadow hidden in a car parked outside of the building. This shadow, hidden beneath the oversized black leather coat and faze cap to ward off the cold morning, was peeking into the house with a pair of binoculars. Pulling down this item, the mysterious figure is seen to be none other than Drake Fisher. Drake’s eyes were cold as he waited in silence. He looked down at his oversized coat before dropping his hand into the right pocket to retrieve an item. This item is the switch he had given to the other six interns, with which they were supposed to plant William’s fingerprints. An evil smile spread across his face as the memories pertaining to this device streamed
William had arrived at the office as early as he was expected to be there weekly, and he began his task for the day in an orderly manner. If an outsider had seen him now, they would never suspect that he had been drunk to stupor last night, and had almost been a victim of an evil plan being executed. An hour later, the other six interns arrived, one at a time, as well. They went straight to their desks before giving each other glances, silently communicating with one another. Minutes later though, they got up and went to William’s desk, awkwardly hovering over him.Laura glared lightly at the junior interns, urging one of them to take the initiative. Amma then nudged Jed specifically before whispering to him. “Go on; talk to him already.”Jed shook his head with a frown, not wanting to be the one to talk. Unfortunately for him, Drew and Armando were also supporting Amma, encouraging him to speak to William first.Jed broodingly raised a middle finger at the three interns before
William was too calm at the moment as he replied with a nod. “Yes, officer. That is me. How many I help you?”“How may they help you?! You actually have the fucking audacity to ask that! You monster!” Before the officer could speak, Drake rushed over, pushing Drew and Amma out of the way before reaching over to grab William by his shirt, forcing him up onto his feet. “How could you do this, William?! How could you do this to Mrs. Bright if all people? You killed her!”The six other interns were too stunned, both at the way Drake was acting and the words he had spewed. They couldn’t believe that their supervisor was dead, and William was being blamed for it for some reason.The police officer who seemed to be in charge took a step forward. “Young sir, I’m going to need you to calm down.” He was speaking to Drake.“How can you ask me to calm down, officer?!” Drake snapped at the law enforcer, letting go of William. “Mrs. Bright died in her car, a car that suddenly exploded in the m
The slap that Cordelia had descended on Drake’s face sent the senior intern stumbling backward until he fell straight to the ground. This didn’t affect him though, not as much as the initial shock at the fact that the intern supervisor was still alive.“Mrs. Bright, oh my goodness!” Laura began tearing up out of relief. “But they said you were dead.”Jed ran a hand through his hair out of frustration while whispering to himself. “What the hell is going on?”Cordelia Bright didn’t pay attention to the reaction the other interns were giving her though. She raised a finger at Drake with a hateful glare. “Drake Fisher, I would have never thought one of my interns would actually try to kill me. You had the audacity to plant a bomb in my car, which meant you had to have broken into my car to do this in the first place! How dare you?!” Her scream at the last question spread through the silent office, and the atmosphere in the department was thick with tension. Drake began shaking his he
Everyone’s phone rang with a notification alert, and they pulled out their devices to find that a video had been airdropped to them. Opening it, they found that it was clear footage of Drake in his car while in an oversized coat. According to the video, he was in a car parked outside of a house.“Holy shit! That’s the supervisor’s house!” Drew looked up from his phone in shock.Everyone could see that Drake seemed to be peering into Cordelia’s family house with a pair of binoculars.“Drake was stalking Mrs. Bright?! Damn!” Armando whispered out with a hissing tone.Then everyone saw a feminine figure, that could be easily mistaken for Cordelia herself, walking out of the house and getting into the car. Then they caught Drake driving at a distance behind that car, he was obviously following Cordelia’s car. After a while, at the point that Cordelia’s car was about to reach the highway, they saw through the barely raised windshield as Drake held up a device and pressed hard on the switc
