The Shock

The next day at Walton Corporation began like any other, with employees bustling about their tasks and the hum of productivity filling the air. But for Emily Walton, the events of the previous night lingered in the back of her mind, casting a shadow over the familiar surroundings.

As she entered the office, Emily appeared composed and unruffled, her demeanour as calm and collected as ever. She wore a sharp business suit, her hair pulled back in a sleek ponytail, giving her an air of confidence and authority. By her side, Lauretta walked with purpose, her eyes scanning the room for any signs of trouble.

Sarah and Michael Walton watched in shock and astonishment as Emily strode past them, seemingly unfazed by the events of the previous night. How had she survived? What had transpired in the darkness of the uncompleted building?

As Emily settled into her office and began her work for the day, Sarah and Michael could not shake the feeling of unease that gripped them. They knew they had to confront their niece to find out what she knew and how much she suspected.With trepidation, they approached Emily's office, their minds racing with questions and suspicions. What had she uncovered? How much did she know about their involvement in the events of the previous night?

Sarah, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, approached Emily's office, her voice tinged with apprehension. "Emily," she began tentatively, "we need to talk."

Emily turned to face her aunt, her expression unreadable. "Of course, Aunt Sarah. What's on your mind?"

Sarah hesitated, searching for the right words. "It's about last night," she said finally. "We were worried sick when we heard what happened. How did you... survive?"

Emily's eyes flickered with a hint of amusement as she responded. "I suppose I was lucky," she replied casually, refusing to betray the turmoil raging inside her. "But enough about me. How are things with the new product you are managing?"

Sarah frowned, sensing Emily's reluctance to discuss the events of the previous night. "Things are... fine," she replied evasively. "But we need to know what happened, Emily. We need to understand."

Before Emily could respond, Michael interjected, his voice laced with concern. "Emily, please," he implored, "we're your family. You can trust us."

Emily's gaze softened as she regarded her uncle, her resolve weakening slightly. "I appreciate your concern, Uncle Michael," she said softly, "but there are some things I need to figure out on my own."

With that, Emily turned away, effectively ending the conversation. Sarah and Michael exchanged a worried glance before reluctantly retreating from Emily's office, their minds swirling with unanswered questions.

Alone once more, Emily turned her attention to the task at hand, but her thoughts kept returning to the mysterious figure who had saved her life the previous night. Who was he? And what did he want with her?

Determined to unravel the mystery, Emily enlisted Lauretta's help in scouring the security footage from the basement of the Global Hotel, hoping to find clues that would lead her to the truth.

As they sifted through the recordings, Emily's mind raced with possibilities. Could the mysterious figure be a mutant, an experiment gone wrong? Or perhaps the stories of vampire werewolves held a grain of truth after all?

With each passing moment, Emily grew more determined to uncover the truth, knowing that the answers she sought lay hidden in the shadows of the night.

Finally, after hours of meticulous searching, Lauretta uncovered a crucial piece of evidence: a grainy image of the mysterious figure emerging from the darkness, his form blurred but unmistakably human.

Excitement surged through Emily as she studied the image. "Is that a millitary badge? " Lauretta said as she zoomed into the image, "Yes, it looks like...." Emily attensting to what she saw, her mind racing with possibilities. She had a lead, a starting point from which to unravel the mystery of the man who had saved her life. A millitary badge.

With renewed determination, Emily set out to uncover the truth, knowing that the journey ahead would be fraught with danger and uncertainty. But she was undeterred, fueled by the need to uncover the secrets that lay hidden in the darkness.
