But just as Jonathan was about to respond, a loud crash echoed from somewhere outside the building, shaking the walls and sending a jolt through them both.
“What was that?” Sophie shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth.
Jonathan rushed to the window, peering out through the blinds. “It’s coming from the loading dock!”
“Should we go?” she asked, her voice a tight whisper.
“We need to investigate,” Jonathan decided, grabbing his jacket. “Stay close.”
As they headed for the door, Jonathan’s mind raced. “Marcus wouldn’t… No, this isn’t just an accident. He’s making a move.”
Framing the Future
The chaos outside gripped Jonathan with dread. He stepped into the hallway, heart racing. “What if he’s trying to create a diversion?” he muttered under his breath.
“We have to be careful, Jonathan,” Sophie urged, following closely behind him.
“If he’s setting me up, we need to make sure we get that flash drive to the right people fast.”
