Evaline:
I let out a deep sigh and stood up to stretch my body.
It was Sunday and River was absent again.
Not that I was surprised.
He hadn't shown his face since the weekend warriors went missing, and every time I came in for work, it felt like walking into a fog that refused to lift. The assignments he gave me through his secretary were straightforward and dry - sorting documents, updating reports, rewriting summaries.
There was no mentions of classified cases. No warriors. Just paper and silence.
Though I did spent last night pondering on the matter, I eventually decided to put away the matter as it had nothing to do with me.
By four in the afternoon, I was done with my work. It wasn't that I was rushing, I just worked faster when I wanted to be somewhere else.
And today, I did want to be somewhere else.
I grabbed my bag and headed downstairs, finding the familiar black SUV in the parking just as it had been every weekend for the past month.
