My heart was boating in my chest and the junk from the dream Ingred. Hooked at my phone and saw I had been midnight. I picked up the Blanket that had fallen on the fast and tried to decide what to do, I didn’t want to go back to deep.

“This is amazing,” lason said. He had crammed half a Danish into his mouth and after swallowing he looked happy.
“I’m happy you like it,” I told him as I picked at a cupcake.
“I have some news,” fason started after he had finished his sweet treat. He was eyeing what next to devour from his plate.
“Have you found Humber?” asked
“No, almost though
“Yeah. We have narrowed it down to two locations. We haven’t found any incor signs to let arrow it down further. We have men staking out both places. They will give me a report in about an hour. If we by then can’t tell which location he is held at, we will breach both places,” he told me. I nodded as if I knew anything about breaching a location
“Will it be bad if you have to do it in both places?” I asked. He made a grimace that showed he didn’t like it.
“Not bad. It’s more complicated as we don’t want them to be able to warn each other, We need to strike them at the same time. And we will have to split our people in two teams. But I’m not that worried about it. We have good people. It’s just an initating risk,” he said. Again I nodded. “We will get him back and we will have him before the end of the day,” Jason added in a serious tone.
“You promise?” I asked and fit the tears well up in my eyes.
“I never make promines like that. Too much could happen that I can’t control. But you have my word that there is no team more dedicated to this than the ones in this building.” I nodded and this time I did understand. Most people in this building had known Prater for longer than I had, he had their loyalty and I was happy they all were on Hunter’s side.
“Okay, I get that. What can I do to help?” I wanted to know.
“These isn’t much you can do. I’m going to say this and I want you to know I mean it in the nicest possible way. You look a little rough around the edges. The best thing for you to do is try to get some sleep. When we get Hunter out, you want to be awake and not on the wage of collapsing” he told me. He was right of course, But still, the memory of my nightmare kept me from accepting
- it.
“I had a nightmare,” I confessed. He Inked at
at me with compassion and nodded.
I’m not surprised. You went through something traumatic, and you still going through it. Maybe you would foil better at Hunter’s apartment?” he asked. I shook my head.
“No. I think I would just get paranoid. I fear I would end up shuning myself in the panic room and hest stay there.” I said. He laughed.
“Huster showed you that detail, did by? Well, there
re would be worse places to seek shelter in,” he chuckled,
“I think I would rather stay here. My dress looks terrible alter sleeping and baking in it, but it’s not a beauty contest.”
“That I can help you with. If you don’t mind looking like a walking advertisement, we do have some clothes. I can get some in your size and down in the gym there and showers you can use if you like, he offered.
“That sounds amazing, thank you.”
“No problem. Che new twenty minutes. He held his wood and fifteen minutes later he turned with sweatpants, a t–shirt, a tank top and a hoodie. I headed down to the gym and took a long, hot shower, When I got back to Hunter’s office I had on the sweatpants and tank top. I laid down on the couch and put on some music on my phone. Thankfully Hunter had a phone charger ha off so I could make sure my phone didn’t die on me. I curled up under the blanket and tried to stop the thoughts that are willing around in my head. I don’t know when I fell asleep, but I
