Thomas raced to the building and expertly swiped his ID card. The light turned green and the automatic doors opened. He ran to the elevator and pushed the floor 11 button, then floor 2 and floor 5. He opened a secret hatch and swiped his ID card. Then he opened another secret hatch and inserted his key. The elevator doors closed and it took him to the hidden floor, LB3, lower basement 3. The doors opened and he walked down the hallway into a dead end. He pushed 3 stones, and a stoned flipped over, revealing a scanner. He slid his card over it. The wall shifted backward until another hallway appeared. He walked into the hallway, taking a right turn, then a left, then a right, and then another right. He was met with a high security door with an electronic security pad. He scanned his card again and pushed the door open.

Hort was sitting on a black chair in front of a blue desk and a high tech computer, along with his brother, dressed in a casual t-shirt and jeans leaning back on the recliner with disposable plastic coverings, and his mother, sitting with her back straight on a wooden chair. There was an awkward silence.

Then his mother blurted out," Thomas…I miss you."

"I'm sorry," His brother added. Thomas hugged his brother. Something clanked in his brother's pocket, but Thomas ignored it.

Then he hugged his mother. Something shined in his brother's pocket.

That was when Thomas realized that everything had been lies.

In his brother's pocket: a pistol.
