I read the report in front of me again, and then again. And then once more.
In the silence that descended on my office, I moved my hand aside, and as it did, the holographic report slid to the side. My eyes slowly rose, looking up at the man standing across the office.
"They just disappeared, is that so?"
The man swallowed, seemed to avert his eyes for a moment, but was able to keep looking at me.
"Y- yes, Ms. Melany..."
I looked at his face for a while, into his eyes, and as he was sweating with nervousness with each passing second, I finally closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"You can leave."
The man didn't say anything. He just turned around, walked out of the office, and closed the door back. A deep silence fell over my office again.
I leaned back in my chair, threw my head back, and as my eyes slowly opened, all I could see was the ceiling.
"I... I can't understand anything anymore."
