Kex’s hand trembled as he crumpled the paper, tossing it into the corner. Then he turned and left the room, his footsteps quick and urgent. I hurried after him, calling his name, but he didn’t respond.

Iran up the stairs, my feet slipping on the marble. My heart was pounding, the dread building inside me. I was terrified of what might happen next. I rounded the corner, nearly colliding with Kex as he stood, frozen, in the hallway. I grabbed his arm, my breath coming in gasps.

“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice shaking.

Kex pulled his arm away from my grasp, his expression unreadable. He strode into his office, and I followed him, closing the door behind me. Kex sat down at his desk, stretching his long legs out in front of him. He turned his gaze on me, his eyes hard and cold.

“What the hell is going on?” I asked again, trying to keep my voice steady.

“I don’t know,” he said, his voice low and measured.

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in short, shallow gasps.

“What do you mean, you don’t know?” I asked, my voice shaking with fear.

Kex’s eyes widened, his face pale. “Holy shit,” he muttered, and I could see the panic rising in his expression. I frowned, my brow furrowing.

“What’s going on?” I asked, my voice urgent.

“You’re bleeding,” he said, pointing to my nose.

I reached up, touching my face. I hadn’t even noticed the blood, but now that he had pointed it out, I could feel the sticky, wet sensation on my fingers.

“It’s the least of our problems right now,” I said, my voice quavering.

Kex looked at me, his expression unreadable.
