The meeting room was silent. No one knew why they were gathered here. They had received word that their CEO, Elias King, wanted to hold an emergency meeting. That was it.
No one in the room was brave enough to ask either. No one dared to make eye contact with Elias, for fear of being chosen to answer the impossible question.
Elias leaned forward. Everyone tensed up and straightened their backs.
"I'm sure by now most of you have heard about the incident that occurred this morning. I want all of you to find the culprit," He declared in a bone-chilling voice.
"Culprit?" Someone spoke up from within the room, "You mean the person who went up to-"
"No," Elias snapped back in response.
He wasn't after the person who'd splashed them with red paint. That wasn't as important. What was more important was finding out who was behind it.
"I want you to find out who's behind the rumors that are spreading online."
