LOGIN“We should watch the rest,” I tell him, though my voice is shaky. “No,” Miles says, more firmly. I breathe a sigh of relief. For my job, I know we have to hear it. But personally, I would like to go the rest of my life without even thinking about Edward Zimmer again. “The numbers are already u
Edward’s response comes in the form of a video message. Crystal set it up on the television on the wall, while Miles and I huddle closer to the screen. Miles holds tightly onto my hand. “Whatever happens. Whatever he says. We will stand against him and we will win,” he says. I believe him. Last

“Thank you, Mr. Harbinger,” I say. In the past, we wanted me to call him Hugo, but everything feels changed now. He’s my boss. I should treat him with respect.He doesn’t correct me this time, though his smile does grow slightly tighter.“I’ll leave you to it, then,” he says and leaves the room.Rea
