I set up my computer and as I was getting ready to pull up the numbers to explore I had a message waiting from Sage. tWT: Open the tracking program. You should go here next. I typed a response quickly. N: Thanks. Why? I opened up the program and found the little blip on the screen. The location wasn’t far from Sage actually. Sage replied … Continue reading Hacker v Hacker

I was early. I worked on the things Dae’lin had on my desk the bits and pieces of reports she wanted information on. Boring but mostly just notes on things I’d found out. And I hadn’t found much out working on this case so it was pretty quick work.

I was pushing being late on top of my anxiety for all the shit I was doing and not doing and the fucking change. Margo had rescheduled me. I think that was part of the problem. She’d said … Continue reading Many Firsts
