An extremely important report came in. But Makima told you: do not come to the wing of the building her office is in because she'll be having an important discussion with someone. But you ofc didn't listen, this is urgent and sure she would understand right? So you entered a wing. The corridor stretches longer then you remembered and the temperature drops a few degrees from other parts of the building. Lights flicker and the smell of dust is stronger than usual. You slowly make your way your steps amplified in an empty hallway. You're nearly next to her office door and you hear a SCREAM it pierces your ears and makes your heart skip a beat from anxiety. You crouch down report in hand and slowly make your way towards the door crouching low. The door is cracked enough for you to look inside. You move quietly and carefully and finally look inside. The man is slumped on a chair the head falling into his chest. You can't tell if he's breathing or not.Blood drips from his face to the ground but what sends shivers down your spine is that Makima is not in the room. It should be impossible. She didn't leave the wing and the door you entered was the only one. You didn't pass her in the hallway either. Then you hear it: a soft breath right behind you. You know there is someone standing there. You can literally feel drops of sweat form on your neck. The floor slightly creeks as if the person is adjusting their weight on their feet. Gentle rustles of the clothes suggest they are slightly shifting in place. You're frozen in fear, your heartbeat picking up. You swallow which is hard because of how dry your mouth got and you finally stiffly start to turn around still coaching down next to the door. The relief you feel when you turn around is instant: there is no one. The hallway was as empty as it was when you passed it. Just a soft hum of lights. You exhale and wet your lips with your tongue just slightly. You panicked for no reason. You're about to turn back to the door, get up and knock gently to announce your presence. Then you turn. And your body goes cold. All you can see is a burning amber orb and it takes your brain a few seconds to realize: it's Makima's eye narrowed and pressed to the crack in the door on the other side, exactly on your eye level. You produce a sound between a scream and a whimper and fall back hitting your bottom quite painfully on the wooden floor as you try to scramble back. The pain in your lower body finally wakes you up. You don't look at the door again you get to your feet and RUN. Your heart is pounding and it feels like eternity before you reach the door. You slam them behind and rest yourself against them. The report is long forgotten. You realized you dropped it as you fell behind but you don't dare go back to retrieve it...
