Busted: Your character will catch mine doing something they shouldn’t.

     All she wanted was answers. Things were far too unexplainable      to her liking right now. There were far too many loose ends, &      Laura wondered why Richard wouldn’t tell her a thing. Why was     he keeping things from her? She was brought into Mobius so      she could get her answers. A reason for why everyone she loved     was dead. Laura wanted closure, but the closer she got to the     boy, the farther away she felt from her wish. 

     Richard was sweet to her. He offered some kind of solace away     from all of the nightmares. But, as he got up to handle a bit of     business over the phone, Laura seemed to find herself searching     through a drawer. A drawer that held information about Ruben...

     ❝ Little brother . . . ❞ Laura felt herself getting dizzy. Her legs      unable to keep her weight up as she saw an older Ruben in the     images. Bandages over his face from fire that she thought killed     him all those years ago. How old would he be now . . .? Thirty-     seven? Her precious little brother was alive . . . Where was he &     why wasn’t anyone telling her where he was? 

     Her head reeled, & soon she felt someone was behind her. Laura     froze, & a familiar hand reached out to close the file. The image of     Ruben may have been out of sight, but she could still see it clear     in her mind. Laura knew Ruben ----it wasn’t a look alike or some      coincidence. That was her brother. 

     Richard seemed calm. Almost disappointed in a way as he stared     down at her silently. ❝ Why couldn’t you just leave well enough      alone, Laura? ❞ Her eyes had slowly moved up to meet his own      cold gaze. An empty void in his eyes that showed he was far from     the kind person she thought him to be. 

     ❝ I let you stay this way because you are so much better like this     than like a doll. ❞ His voice didn’t offer any comfort anymore. Laura     felt a piece of her shatter under his shadow. ❝ You should have just     accepted things as they were. Things would have been better if      you did that. ❞

     ❝ Are you going to kill me---- ❞ A finger moved over her lips to      silence her. & she didn’t bother to fight it. There was fear inside     of her now. Did he kill Ruben . . .? What was Richard keeping      from her? ❝ Didn’t you hear what I said before? I didn’t turn you     into a doll because you are far too lovely the way you are now. ❞ 

     His thumb ran over the contours of her jaw, tugging her in closer     until he was sure that she was too frightened to turn away from     him. ❝ If you want to see your little brother again, you’ll do as      you’re told. Or I’ll turn you into a doll, Laura. & you’ll be my little     doll. There won’t be an older sister for Ruben to come back to. ❞

“I haven’t seen you in a long time...” Laura smiled toward him. If only she knew what he had done----if she only knew the truth. “Thank you, by the way, for partnering me up with Thomas. He’s a great partner to have, I owe him a lot so far... What are you doing around here?”

The dark silk was tied in a single knot over Colton’s eyes, and Richard calmly walked to the side, fingers stroking over the other man’s ear. He could see the anxiety rising in his subordinate’s body, taking over him. For such a capable man, he seemed so timid under Richard’s hand. “Keep your head forward, Walker,” he said, not answering the question posed to him.

This time he let his other senses be heightened while sitting there. He tried to make himself aware of his surroundings and push past the fear that was in the center of his chest and building. His therapist told him that because of what happened to him, he’d be afraid of things that normally wouldn’t make him afraid.

Now he was experiencing one of those moments.

He clenched his fist and faced forward.

“What are you doing?”

Panic spread through him almost instantly, but he made no attempt to move. Whatever the man wanted to do to him, he would allow it. Even if the panic washed through him like a tidal wave and he felt his chest constrict at the feeling. He took a deep breath, though shaky, and turned his head in the direction he thought the other man was at.

“What are you doing?”

“I had a nice talk with Thomas & even explained to him how nice you are to let him be so slow in finding the boy.” Charlotte cooed the words, standing in the doorway of His office with files in hand. “I also brought you the files you asked for.”
