The lights on the console blinked steadily, a small sound eliminating from them, slowly rising in pitch as time moved along. This continued till the sound flooded the room, an irritated blond came around. Cursing at the machine under her breath. โI heard you the first five minutesโ as she hit a few buttons on the control panel well eyeing the monitor. โnow let's see what you are freaking out about.โ she flicked a round sphere causing the pitcher on the screen to change, her gaze became more intense as the pitcher started to repeat after going through the feed a few times, everything seemed to be in place.
After going through the clips a few times over she reached for an intercom. โHarcourt, could you come up here for a moment?โ She patiently waited for a response as she continued to flick through the video feed.
โWhat is it Sally, I'm rather busy in here.โ He didn't quite sound angry but didn't sound as if he wanted to be interpreted either.
โI'm sorry sir, but I think we may have a problem with the video feed. I would like to have the second part of eyes if you don't mind.โ she said with slight hesitation in her voice.
His voice came through a few seconds later 'well, what is it?โ
Sally wished he would have just come as she asked. The words she wanted to say was right there, but also knew how silly they sounded. 'well, that's the thing. The alarms were going off like there was a breach orโฆ well you know all the reasons the alarms may go off. But when I looked through the feed I didn't see anything wrong.โ
There was silence on the other end for a long time. Sally felt herself tense up, wishing he would just say something, even him scolding her would be preferable to the silence.........(to be continued)
