Tom's POV

"W-What?" I shook slightly, "N-no, he wouldn't do that." "Tom, you can be honest with us, we won't tell." Edd said. I know I couldn't tell him the truth. The truth was just as bad. "Edd, I swear, I had to attended a meeting with him out of town, and I was tired, and I ran into a door." I said, making sure not to stutter, "he wouldn't break his own equipment." I sighed. The awkward tension and worry was so thick, you'd have to use of hella strong knife to cut through it.

Edd looked at me worried, still not reassured. "I- okay Tom. Please, be more careful." He said, and eats a piece of the food on his plate. Matt sat there awkwardly, probably knowing that if he got involved, it wouldn't have turned out any better. I swallowed what little I had left of my pride and continued eating. But I couldn't help but think of last night. Why did Tord speed like that? He seemed so tense, so angry. And the fact that he couldn't even bother to see the hazards, is beyond scary. He could've knocked straight into a tree or even worse, the base itself!

I was so deep into my thoughts that, before I realized it, I had eaten the last of my food. I turned to Edd and Matt, both eating in silence. "I-I need to go back to work," I said, I hate saying that I work for him, "I'll see you two later." I got up from my chair, put my tray away, and started walking towards his office.

Edds POV

Tom is lying right through his teeth! And I know he is! Whether or not Tord hit him is a question I need answers to. I turned to Matt, "I'm gonna go follow and investigate Tom." I said, getting up from my seat and following behind.

Tord's POV

I wait around for Tom to arrive at the office, I don't know why, but I have a sudden excitement and dread to see him today. After last night, knowing him, he's going to be pissed off that I nearly crashed the car and In the process broke his goggles. There's not much too say about it now. I had the scientist work on a new and more advanced pair, hopefully done by Monday.

I hear a knock at the door, I call out a 'come in'. Of course, it's Tom. "Tom-" I get up from my chair. "Sir, you have a-" he started, I cut him off. "Tord, you can call me Tord." I said, hoping he heard the sincerity in my voice. I felt at odds with the fact of being strict and needing to win over what little trust I can gain. But a part of me feels off, maybe I'm being too kind? I'll figure it out later. Tom coughs and cleared his throat. "Yes, Tord, you have a meeting today with the blue army, another meeting with the medical department, and some signings for the delivery company." He said, no stutter.

My face felt strangely warm, his words were never caught together. "Is that all?" I ask. "For the most part, yes. But Paul and Patryk should be running down here soon for something else, not sure what yet." I nodded. I looked at him, with a sense that he wanted to say something.

He turned around to leave, but as soon as he stopped at the door,he turned his head toward me and said, "Be more careful when driving please, it could've been worse than just my goggles, you know?" He said, his tone felt soft and felt so sad? "Yes, I'll keep that in mind." I said. I almost felt monotone compared to him.

He nodded and stared back for a moment. I felt suddenly nervous in that moment. I can't understand why, or how. It frustrated me! God! Why am I feeling like this?! I hear the door close. And I felt my legs give out and I fell to my knees. I couldn't understand why. I don't understand why. Where is he going? Who is he with. I- I need to call him down-

"Sir?" I heard a voice call out. I suddenly snap out of it, and looked up and saw Paul. My fist were clenched tightly. I felt my face, tears. I stood up and brushed off the dust on my coat. "Paul." I say. "Tord, is everything okay?" Paul said, grabbing my shoulders. Paul has always been a great friend and solider. "I, I'm fine. Just lost in thought." I stutter.

"Are you sure?" He asked. And for a moment, I felt like opening up. I felt my shoulders tense up. Controlling myself and taking a hug breath. I turned to him and said, "Yes, I am fine Paul. What are you here for?" Attempting to change the subject. "The new lab results are in for your little friend. We have some new substances that might work a lot better in the process then the lest one." He said, handing me the report. "Thank you Paul. You are dismissed." I said, as calmly as possible. "Also sir, Patryk and I will be it for dinner, so let your assistant know if you need anything urgent." He says before walking out. I normally always asked Paul for favors, but Tom is now my favor boy.

I brush it off. Taking a closer look at the report. I set it onto my desk, opening it up more. I have a lot of work to do.
