Julius gripped the piece of paper tightly, his eyes running over the paper for the last time. The words seemed to burn against his skin. The office, which had felt so safe and quiet just minutes ago, suddenly felt like a cage.
He took a step toward Harrison, holding the paper out between them. "Harrison, who are these people? Clearly someone is playing games with us."
Harrison didn't look at the paper. His face had gone completely blank. He didn't blink. He reached out with a steady hand, took the note from Julius's fingers, and folded it into a small square.
He slipped it into his trouser pocket as if it were nothing more than a grocery list.
"Harrison!" Julius snapped.
Harrison still didn't answer him. He pulled his phone from his jacket pocket and tapped the screen. He placed it to his ear, his eyes fixing on the wall behind Julius.
