Then a message, appended at the bottom:
Grigoreth—
Since you can't seem to close your first assignment, I'm giving you these.
They’re easy collections. I don’t want to hear excuses from you.
Get these done before the quarterly review so I have SOMETHING to show Oversight.
Consider this your chance to prove you belong in this department.
Don't make me regret vouching for you.
—Morrith
Dustin read it twice.
Morrith thought he was talking to Greg. Morrith had no idea the clipboard was sitting in the hands of the guy Greg had tried to kill.
And he'd just sent a list of people who were going to die.
Easy collections.
But these were real people with real lives. And some guy called Morrith was assigning them like tasks on a to-do list.
Dustin's hands had stopped shaking.
Now they were very, very still.
A new message appeared.
Grigoreth.
Confirm receipt of assignments.
Dustin watched the words form. He didn't move.
