No sign of them
There was no sign of Chris or Dereck anywhere I looked. I checked the conference rooms, the break room, even the restrooms, but it was as if they had vanished.
The empty offices offered no clues, only deepening my unease. I replayed the events of the evening in my mind, questioning if I had missed any signs.
The laughter from earlier felt like a distant memory, replaced by a heavy silence that hung in the air like a thick fog.
