“Nah. It would’ve been too nice to us if it was that easy,” Jason says.

He leads Bette out of the reading room and back out to the hallway. As they walk towards the back of the building, employees walk past them. A few greet him while others ask him a quick question. They address him as either “Jay” or “boss.”

Soon they reach behind a metal door with a couple of locks on it. Jason takes out his keys and unlocks it. The room is plain and boring. In the center is a metal desk, an office chair for Jason, and a couple of wooden chairs for guests. Against one wall are a couple of file cabinets. One of the cabinets has a noticeable dent on one of the drawer doors.

Once Bette enters his office, Jason shuts the door behind him.

“Okay, now we’re free to talk,” he says.
