I refrain myself from staying in my office thinking of Rory or going after her. Every single exchange with her arouses me and right now I can't succumb to her endless charm. I have to focus on protecting my firm and my employees. We still don't know why exactly the FBI is investigating us. I don't think they know anything about the CRA Group, but I need to be prepared for everything, so, before going to my appointment at the FBI office I have to talk with Colin to gather the last few pieces of information I asked him for.

Colin is concentrating on his screen when I enter his office. When he realized my presence he looks at me and says. - "Here, I prepared those files with some information, but yet there is nothing suspicious here. I don't get it, Carter, why are they digging around here? It must be something about the leaking. There's nothing on our financial system." - Colin hands me a file looking stressed.

I feel helpless at this time. I hate seeing my friend, my right hand, worried like that. - "I don't get it either Colin, but we have to deal with it. I've been looking through our financial statements and there's nothing wrong there either. We've been through financial statement audits every single year. There's some piece missing here." - I look around his office, trying to think of something, but nothing comes to my mind.

As if sensing my anguish in search of an answer, Colin said - "I'm sorry if I can't give you more answers."

I look at his freezing blue eyes scrutinizing me. The feeling of his sympathy moves me. In times like this, the friendship calls louder.

"We're together on this man. Don't worry! I'm just as frustrated as you are, you know. I'm worried about you too."

"Thanks, Colin. I can't stop thinking that maybe I put you in danger. This realization is killing me" - I said looking intently into his eyes, trying silently to apologize to him.

"Don't worry, I choose to help you. I have responsibilities too." - he said confidently.

I shake my head to stop from feeling sorry for myself and for everything. This behavior will not lead me anywhere. I can't let them feel I'm worried. I can't show them my weaknesses. - "Well, I'll find out in a couple of hours. I'm on my way to the FBI office right now. Let's see what they want to know."

Turns out the FBI just asked me questions about some of Carter Corp. employees. They didn't mention the CRA Group or any financial statement. Fortunately, they didn't mention Colin name as well.

Today, I have appointments in town, so I'm not going to the office again. Suddenly while I was preparing myself for my morning run my phone rings. It's Pame. - "Hello, Pame."

"Hello, Mr. Carter. I'm sorry for calling at this time, but I'm afraid we need you in the office right now." - She said with escalated voice.

That's not good.

"What happened Pame?"

"Sir, the FBI is in the building. They're looking for someone."

Shit!
