Damien

Through out my time as a military police officer, I had seen enough fucked up shit in my line of duty but not one as diabolic as what I just witnessed. It dawned on me that I still had no idea what was going on in Renaissance and this information that Jackson got was invaluable.

I understood why he was jittery. He really went in deep down the rabbit hole and came out she'll shocked. I inserted the flash drive into the side of my MacBook and waited until whatever was on the flash displayed.

The weight of the flash drive in my pocket felt heavier than ever, each step toward our living room filled with a sense of dread and anticipation. I needed to know what was on it, but a part of me feared what I might find.

As I settled onto the couch, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at the edges of my consciousness. With trembling hands, I retrieved the flash drive from my pocket and inserted it into my laptop, the soft hum of the machine filling the room as it powered on.
