Night Shift Windfall: My Partner's Last Message Chapter 7
As my cheek was pressed down against the console, I looked up, directing my gaze toward the fire alarm button. Tom followed my gaze, noticing the glass cover over the red fire alarm button. A grin spread across his face. "Want to press it, don't you? Triggering a false fire alarm is a good way to get yourself locked back up." My lips curled up in a bloody smirk. "No," I replied. My voice was distorted by the pressure that was on me. "I wasn't thinking of pressing it."Without warning, I lifted my head and thrashed violently. The burly man in the black jacket lunged forward, trying to use his weight to pin me down. His shoulder slammed through the glass cover in the process. The blare of the fire alarm tore through the night. The entire residential complex's PA system was activated. A pre-recorded evacuation message was supposed to follow, but a mechanical female voice played through the speakers instead."Grade-A human tissues as raw materials from a basement freezer storag

They made me lose both my place of residence and my income, but that was not all. I also received a photograph from an unknown number.Winnie was walking through the school gates with a backpack. Behind her were two men in baseball caps, following her.I tightened my grasp on my phone till my knuckles cracked. Tom was forcing me to show my hand. He was aware that George left something behind, while I was the last person George contacted before he died.What should I do about the key that George gave his life to protect? If I handed it over to Peter now, it might lead to an investigation into Tom.However, given his network of connections, I couldn't be sure if this key would last till it was time for the trial. On the other hand, if I chose to investigate on my own and Tom realized what I was doing, I might never return. If that happened, what would become of Winnie?I took my phone out, wanting to call Winnie. I dialed her number but hung up after it rang thrice. What would I

My heart sank. I hurried over. An individual freezer was tucked away in a corner. Someone was lying inside it. The body had frozen stiff, and it had turned blue. The person's face was frozen in a permanent expression of terror right before they died.It was George; the real George. His right index finger was missing a joint, and the burn scar on his wrist was clearly visible. I stared at him. My eyes welled up with tears. I ran a temperature last week, and George told me to rest while he kept watch the entire night. I hadn't even had the time to treat him to a meal. Instead, I received a ten-thousand-dollar transfer from him.He thought he could make a quick buck, so he could send some money to his elder sister back in his hometown and give himself a better safety net for his later years.In the end, he lost his life in the process.I crouched down and reached out, shutting his eyes that had remained open. I thought to myself, "Rest in peace, Mr. Rowland. I will seek justice

Tom's face went pale. "Officer Garrett, what's—"However, Peter cut him off coldly, "Just cooperate with the investigation. A hazmat suit and a taser can be seen in the photo. Please come with us." Instantly, the tables were turned. With Peter clamping down on his wrists, Tom went completely stiff. His voice finally began to shake. "It's a misunderstanding. It's all just a misunderstanding!" The four security guards threw their batons aside in fright, then crouched to the ground with their hands over their heads. Peter disregarded Tom's pleas, keeping his eyes fixed on the vague silhouette that had been enlarged. "This person by the glass window on the door to the freezer is in a full hazmat suit, holding a high-voltage taser." In a frigid voice, Peter questioned, "Riverside Residences is just a regular residential area. Why would there be hazmat suits or police tasers here?"Tom broke out in a sweat. "P-P-Perhaps he was a repairman from elsewhere—" I let out a scoff, i

I acted as if I was guilty, greedy, and terrified. I whisked the insulated lunchbox up and held it in my arms, saying, "I understand, Mr. Frost. I didn't actually see anything. Mr. Rowland has returned to his hometown, and I actually got that ten thousand dollars as a loan from him. "I will pay it all back to him, little by little." Tom broke into a satisfied smile when he saw my frazzled reaction. "That sounds about right. Only the bright ones get to live a long life." He got to his feet and walked to the door. "Go on and dig in. The meatballs will turn stale once they get cold."The door shut behind him. It wasn't until the sound of his footsteps had vanished completely at the far end of the hallway that I let my shoulders drop slightly. I opened the lunchbox, and indeed, there were meatballs in it. I broke one apart with the cutlery. Its center was still raw, and a deep red liquid flowed out from within.My stomach churned. This was a warning. I would end up like that

The outfit George had on in the video was identical to the outfit he had on in the photo he shared earlier.However, this didn't make sense. Logically speaking, if he had already resigned from his job, he should have returned his security uniform to the company. There was no way he could be wearing that uniform on a bus ride back to his hometown.In a gentle voice, Tom asked, "Is it all clear to you now?" I clenched my teeth and forced a strained smile. "Yes, it is, Mr. Frost. I must have been completely out of it after staying up all night." "Oh, Will. It is a virtue for someone to know their place," Tom remarked. He nodded, looking satisfied."Just look at how well your younger sister is doing. She will be able to get into a good college in the future. Sometimes, when one takes a wrong step in life, others get dragged down along with them." He turned around and headed for the door. "You may leave now. Remember—it's cold outside. Don't go wandering around," he added.I f
