"Oh shit" I whispered to myself, my heart raced as i saw the door start to open.
I scanned around the room for somewhere to hide, there was nothing around me but the desk infront of me. I looked down at the small gap underneath the desk i could hide in i went down quickly ducking underneath it trying to hide myself as much as possible. I shoved myself in the back corner of the desk out of view.
I heard footsteps walking around the room they got louder as he approached the desk, i saw his heeled boots stop at his chair pulling in close his feet almost inches from where i was sitting. I pulled myself closer to me, i reached for the camouflage device in my pocket making quiet noises as i tried to click the simple big red button but nothing happened i cursed under my breath getting frustrated.
I saw his leg bouncing impatiently i could feel his stressed aura radiating off of him, the sounds of his keyboard filled the room. He rummaged through the stacks of paper on his desk and looked in his drawers, he was trying to find something but a knock at the door broke his focus.
"Come in." He groaned slamming his drawer shut. The door opened and small footsteps entered the room quietly shutting the door behind them, i pressed my ear against the desk to hear them.
"Hello, Boss uhm..You called?" I heard a guards voice on the other side, his voice felt nervous as he spoke. I heard Montague shift on the other side.
"Huh-? Oh yes, is there any update on him?" His voice lingered with hope, assuming he was talking about Peely and the information he has.
"No, sir. He is reported to still be silent the whole time, no matter what anyone has done." The guard said nervously, i glanced back at Montague his hands fiddled together underneath the desk he took a deep breath bringing his hands to his face to recollect himself.
"...silent..this whole time.." Montague whispered under his breath, he chuckled a bit almost sounding like he was going insane.
"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Montague yelled slamming his hand on the desk, my body froze sitting in silence. The air was thick almost getting hard to breath in this tension.
"I-" The guard started
"-Don't even! I'm going there myself!" He cut him off pushing himself from the desk his footsteps heavy with anger i could hear him slam the door shut after him, the guard quietly opening it and closing it behind him.
It was quiet for a minute, i crawled out of the tiny space peering over the desk looking around for anyone before standing up and walking towards the door. I stopped at the door and listened for people, it was dead silent, i turned the knob looking outside the room the halls were empty no guard in sight assuming they had all followed their angry boss.
I stepped down the hotels grand staircase, i followed the sounds the commotion outside the doors. A car was parked right next to the entrance the drivers seat facing the entrance, but nobody inside. I looked around seeing the guards and their boss, i looked at the opened drivers seat door i quickly went to it trying to remain undetected aswell.
i tripped over the drinks in the cup holder falling into the back of the car, maybe it wasn't a good idea to make noise. The snow from my shoes were melting on the car i remained quiet and still waiting for him to come back and drive to Peely.
He stepped over to the car hopping inside it, and i heard the car engine turn on and revving up loudly. The car started to fill with music, but the energy was off in the car, it reeked of expensive cologne and booze...it was a interesting combination
