Bram took a deep breath as he entered the office and found Joshua sitting quietly behind a black desk, working as if nothing had happened. "Josh," called Bram, Joshua stopped the pace of his pen moving on the paper and turned when Bram approached.
"So?" Joshua asked curtly.
Bram hesitantly revealed, "I'm sorry, she got away." Joshua didn't ask anything, including why the lights suddenly went out earlier and Bram explained, "I managed to bring her here but it turns out she has a plot. She managed to get out because of her friend.
"A friend?" parrots Joshua and Bram nodded in response. Joshua was silent, Bram couldn't guess what was going on in his mind but suddenly he smiled. It looked horrible, causing Bram to be anxious. He asked, "Are you mad at me?"
The question made Joshua stare back but again, he just kept his mouth shut. Joshua nodded slightly but that was not the answer to Bram's question.
