Suddenly, Scott laughed.
It wasn’t his usual soft, polite laugh. There was no hint of calculation behind it, either.
This one was calm and certain; like the clouds had cleared in an instant, leaving behind nothing but quiet confidence and the faintest trace of amusement at the corners of his eyes.
Sawyer’s heart shot straight into his throat. He didn’t have any kind of prediction gift to fall back on. All he knew was that if they got framed for this, and there was no surveillance to clear their names, they were finished.
This wasn’t like last time, when they reported Jeff, who then pinned it on some low–level team lead
Best case, Scott would be stripped of his position. Worst case, he would be dead.
And the rest of them might end up the same way.
Just as Sawyer’s thoughts spiraled, the wooden panel in front of them was pried open.
Right there, in full view of everyone, a massive underground chamber was revealed.

Jeff and Albert looked like someone had dumped a palette of colors across their faces, their expressions shifting through every color imaginable. Jeff stared hard at Albert beside him.
Albert, meanwhile, put on an innocent look.
“Mr. Bowen,” Scott said gently, “anything you want to explain?”
Just like that, the balance of power flipped.
Jeff snapped out of it and turned to Scott in a panic. “Mr. Fuller, this has to be a misunderstanding.”

Jeff’s smug confidence collapsed instantly. He looked you! Please let me go. Don’t do this!”

“Don’t worry,” Scott said, a sincere, almost reassuring smile on his lips. “I’ll make sure everything is investigated. You’ll get a fair outcome.”
Jeff shuddered, as if he had just been doused in ice water. “Scott! Scott, please! I was wrong, okay? I messed up! I won’t do it again! Just this once, don’t report it!”
Scott didn’t hesitate. He lifted a hand.
““Take him.”
As they dragged Jeff away, he realized begging wasn’t going to save him. His voice turned vicious as he spat out curses.
“You scum! You’re dead! You hear me? You’re dead! I hope you end up alone, rotting like a stray dog! I hope the zombies tear you apart and eat you alive, and you’ll have no body left to bury!”
His shouting echoed as they hauled him off.

In the crowd, Hayley stifled a yawn, a faint smile tugging at her lips.
After Scott had Jeff and his group of followers taken away as well, his gaze swept over the dense line of security personnel standing in front of him.
The corner of his mouth lifted just a little before he walked off without looking back.
By that afternoon, the whole thing had been cracked.
