“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.

Kex looked at me, his expression unreadable.
