My blood went cold as I stared up at the boss. His presence was commanding, and I didn't truly understand how someone could hold so much power until I was being stared down at by him.
He wore a black suit and a mask covering his face. I wondered for a moment why, then thought about how Roman had told me that they had tightened security around themselves after so many raids had taken place.
"Jared…" I heard Bernard say in a whispered voice. He was laughing, but the concern in his tone was evident. "What are you doing here?"
A reply to his question didn't come right away. The boss, Jared as he was called, only made his way in front of my chair. I began to feel sweat pool under my arms as he stared down at me. He was much larger than Bernard but smaller than Roman.
