“What happened? Tellquickly! Did something happen to someone?”
Hepointed to himself.
“Yourself?” Sterling looked him over but did not see any obvious injuries.
“What's wrong with you?” Hecontinued, sounding distressed.
“I'm about to collapse from exhaustion! This must be Fabian's revenge on me! | just slack off a little at work and he’s treating me
like this! The conditions for the production staff here are unbearable; they expect us to sit like machines for ten hours straight.

“Damn it, have we been exposed?”

“What's up? Terry, did you find something?”
“Someone overheard my conversation with Helio. We might be exposed.”
“W-What should we do?”
