Keith and I had come into work together after we made breakfast. Everything was still radiant from last night. It was all I could think about when we went to our separate desks to work away the day.
I was waiting around for a scheduled interview when I got a phone call. I answered it but heard only silence for a few seconds.
"Why did you lie Kat?"
I hesitated for only a second then I slammed the phone against my desk a few times.
I started to scream at the phone. "Why are you doing this?" is what I think I asked. There might have been noise coming from the other end but I'm not entirely sure. I slammed the phone against my desk a few more times before I slammed it off against the hook. I calmed myself before I realized that everyone was looking at me. I tried to look back at everyone who was staring at me. Keith came out of the wall of eyes and directed me into Carolyn's office against a couple of hushed whispers.
Keith was standing before me while I sat opposite of Carolyn. I told Carolyn everything that just happened and she just nodded her head and thought for a moment. She sighed and said this had gone farther than she could take it. She asked us to leave her office and tell everyone to convene in the conference room.
Carolyn walked into the conference a few minutes later and hushed the muted excitement in the room. She told everyone what had been happening over the past few weeks. She said the police were handling the case the best they could but that it was only fair for everyone to know that these things are happening. She encouraged everyone to remain safe and watch out for everyone as best as they could. But we would persevere through this. We would do the best that we could do while the situation is being worked on by the authorities. She asked if anyone had any questions or concerns. No one said anything. After a moment of silence she dismissed everyone
I know you read this you fucker. I hate you. Why are you doing this to me?
