Let’s see, you grumble as you count out what you know on your fingers: there’s almost definitely someone screwing around behind the scenes, people accused <span class="mu-i">you</span> of being one, like, eight or nine times now, whoever’s doing it is probably someone smart and also knows the ins and outs of <span class="mu-g">GOOD BOY,</span> AND your boss is practically holding you at gunpoint for suspects!
Waving your hand in Christy’s face, you end up throwing your hands in the air in annoyance! Seems like the only thing you <span class="mu-i">DON’T</span> know is their damn identity!
A look of concern forms again on the personal assistant’s face as she types a few keys. “Who’s to say there’s only <span class="mu-i">one?</span>”
The synthesized words hit you like a truck. Oh <span class="mu-s">GOD</span> <span class="mu-i">DAMN IT!</span> You don't even wanna THINK about that crap!
“It would make sense, wouldn’t it?” She continues. “That would explain why it’s so hard to come up with a sole suspect.”
Yea, you groan, but wouldn’t that make it, like, <span class="mu-i">much</span> riskier for them too? If two people try to get a cookie from the cookie jar, that’s twice the chance of getting their hand caught, right?
Christy responds with a perplexed stare. “A weak metaphor, but I think I get the gist of it. That said, it’d be easier to cover each other’s tracks, wouldn’t it? Especially if they both knew their way around the company.”
Your eyes narrow at her phone’s statements. She’s been thinking this through, hasn’t she?
“It’s my job to be on top of things.” She smiles, running a hand through her ponytail. “That and it’s all Bruckmann and my grandfather talk about anymore.”
You squint even more. What’s her take on those two anyways? She deals with those freaks all day, right?
Christy’s face hardens at your words. “Grandpa is not a freak.”
Yea, you reply with a roll of your eyes, and you’re a <span class="mu-r">GIANT RACCOON!</span>
“Heh heh..”
Don’t even <span class="mu-i">START</span>, Ly!
