The luxurious suite assigned to the Varisus team in Compartment No. 9 was suffocatingly quiet. The grand digital clock mounted on the wall ticked silently past midnight.
Claire sat alone on the plush leather couch in the center of the dimly lit main hall, her legs pulled up, resting her chin heavily on her knees. The rest of the team had retired to their respective rooms immediately after a tense, quiet dinner. Hopefully, they were actually sleeping.
But she knew better than that, no one was sleeping.
