I’m looking for a great beach getaway. Is Key West a good option?
I logged in to IRC and found Key West soon enough.
04:25 It’s a little early, isn’t it?
04:26 How are things with the agent?
What? Why would Toxicwrath be requesting a chat at four-thirty in the morning to ask about Mason?
04:27 Going well. I have plans to access more information. Taking action tomorrow.
I watched the cursor on the screen but Toxicwrath wasn’t responding. He was still in the chat but didn’t appear to be in a hurry to continue the conversation.
04:32 Why do you ask?
04:33 Shut it down.
My mouth went dry and I felt myself getting angry.
04:34 This was your idea. I’ve gotten a lot of useful information.
04:34 He’s there, isn’t he?
I felt a cold chill go down my spine. I couldn’t help but look around the room, feeling suddenly very exposed.
Toxicwrath was guessing, but I felt as though I were being watched.
04:35 This plan has proven successful. I’m being careful.
04:36 We don’t need him anymore.
ButIdid.
04:37 This isn’t up for discussion. You can’t dictate this part of the plan.
Clearly Toxicwrath needed to be put in his place. He wasn’t the one calling the shots.
Our roles were getting confused. I was the boss. Not him.
04:38 It’s become personal.
Again I felt disturbed. Too many things had happened in the last twenty-four hours to throw me off balance.
Mason. Kyle. Now this.
04:40 We’re both on the line. What you do affects us both. If you can’t keep it objective, then there’s no use for him. He’s become a liability. Shut it down.
I didn’t like being told what to do. Not by anyone. Definitely not by my anonymous partner.
04:41 Trust me. I have it under control.
I saw new words come up on the screen and I felt ill.
04:42 In the chaos you have to find calm. I think this agent is messing with your head.
I couldn’t believe what I was reading.
