Chapter 0225
“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 be a clue to anything. I’m sure it had meaning but I had no idea what it could be.
“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 difficult to carry those
heavier items
Alec didn’t respond but he kept the link open. As I finished picking up the pictures, I was able to cl*p them

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.
