The Wrong Assumption

SiennaI looked at the text I'd sent earlier. It was still unread.I knew I should mind my business, but I still wanted to make sure he had received the message. Wherever he was hiding the doctor he'd taken, I wanted him to know that the man would eventually be found.I turned my attention to the documents my colleagues had submitted. They were supposed to provide images, theories, and research for the story and script I had to write for our next segment, but most of what I was looking at was useless. I scrolled through page after page, trying to piece together something that would convince people to follow the direction we wanted.“Who is Firecracker? Or is this another criminal operation waiting to happen? Is your life longer now? Could that be referring to the length of the operation to come?” I read aloud from one of my colleagues' submissions.“Yeah, yeah.
