I hear a knock on my door but
before I could speak Max
and Xavier come barging in.

"Aleksander you need to stop for a
second." I don't stop, I find it funny
that Xavier is saying that even though
he gets mad when I'm not working.

He speaks in a scared voice and
even though it's odd I brush
it off and plainly say "I'm busy."


Max walks up to my desk and says
"We found her." I look up so fast that
it's shocking my neck isn't broken.

This can't be real, they are just messing
with me. I remind myself of that
and continue working.

They glance at each other with
a confused look
before Xavier corrects him

"Her body" he says "We've found her
body." I don't have time for this.
I don't want to hear their stupid lies,
she's not dead, they're being ridiculous.


"Aren't you going to ask for proof?"


No, I'm not.


"Are you too scared?" Yes, I am.


I stand up and walk out of the office,
I don't want to hear any more about this.

I'm prepared enough for the meeting,
that's all that's on the schedule. I don't
want to go view dead bodies with them.

When I walk into my living room I see a
group of men around the coffee table.

Who let them in here? Why has the
security gotten so bad
In this stupid fucking building,
at this point I need to buy the
whole thing and a set of employees. 

"Why are you all in my fucking house?"
I ask but nobody answers, I look at all
the men's faces and realize I've seen
them in some of my warehouses.

They part, making a pathway
and revealing what-
who they were standing around.

A burnt body is laying on my fucking
coffee table, at first glance
I was going to ask why it's
here but then I remember
what they said a few minutes ago.

When the thought hits me I feel a wave
of weakness overcome everything
holding me together. I hold onto my composure like a rope in raw hands



Play song from banner ;)



The glass I carried in falls onto
the ground, making the
alcohol splash onto the floors

"Who is this?" I ask so calmly
I surprise myself, I look around and
get no answer once again- So I ask
the same question in a louder voice.
