Today was Monday. Everyone was back in the office. Team Alpha Cinco couldn't help but feel the gloomy ambiance inside their Chief's Office.
Though Erick was acting like there's nothing wrong, his silence was quite frightening for his team. It seemed like he shut himself once again in his own world, building an invisible wall that stopped others from entering his personal space.
They couldn't figure out what was happening to him. He kept changing his mood. One day, he was cold. The next day, he was eager and enthusiastic about solving their case. And now, he was very calm and unusually quiet, his face void of any emotions.
They were also reluctant to approach him. The team didn't know how they would deal and communicate with him without being awkward. The aura emanating from him was quite intimidating.
"Hey, Bryan, what's wrong with Chief Lee? Why is it he is acting strangely once again?" Carl couldn't help but ask the person closer to Erick.
