June sat awkwardly at the table eating her donut. Roxanne had left to go find Hunter, muttering something about how it was time to get to work.
She'd been gone for almost thirty minutes. Since then, none of the remaining agents had said a word. June felt as if she was preventing them in some way, but she didn't know what to do. Offer to leave? But where would she go? It wasn't as if she had anywhere to go, even just within the building. And she'd seen enough of that room she'd spent the night in. Her only option was to wait.
"How about we show June around the place?"
The words caused everyone sitting at the table to jump. Both agents turned to Scuff, who had gotten to his feet.
Gruu and Claw exchanged a glance. "Um, alright," Claw agreed. "It couldn't hurt."
The dog motioned for June to follow, and they exited the room.
They stood in the hallway. Scuff pointed at the door at the end. "That's where you stayed last night. It's our spare room." He motioned to the other doors. "The one on the left is our bedroom, not that anyone sleeps much. The one on the right is our tech room, with computers and video cameras and all that."
The dog turned around and swept a paw at the open room that the hallway led to. "This is our living room. Claw's got a desk, we've got a couch and some chairs, and it all works out."
June nodded, surveying the room. "Is that it?"
Scuff shrugged. "Not much to show, I guess."
The door on the far side of the living room opened and in stepped Roxanne.
"Where's Hunter?" Scuff asked.
"Coming," Roxanne mumbled. "And he better hurry since we can't start without him."
The three returned to the room where they had breakfast. They made a quick decision to go into the tech room. June followed, since she didn't know what else to do.
The tech room was filled with all sorts of gadgets and wires. There must have been at least ten tables and desks, and every surface was covered with some sort of technology. There wasn't an empty surface in sight. To top it off, TV screens crowded an entire wall.
Claw sat down in front of a very modern looking touch screen computer. He tapped the screen, opening, closing and moving windows in a flurry. It amazed June to watch.
After about ten minutes of silence, the main door into the apartment could be heard opening.
"Come on Hunter, we're waiting on you," Roxanne called.
A few seconds later a wolf appeared. "It's on C542. The camera's been there since she disappeared. She never goes in, only comes out," Hunter mumbled.
Claw brought up a video of what June recognized as her house.
"Go to five four twenty three," Hunter said.
The bear did as told, and the video showed June running out of her house in fright.
June wanted to smack herself for looking like a complete idiot. Her brown hair stuck up all over the place, and her blue eyes were wide with fright as she stumbled away.
Hunter continued. "This was the first activity for seven months. No one entered since we went to check out the place a few months after she disappeared."
June looked over her shoulder at the wolf. He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed and trench coat covering his body. So calm and collected. Bored almost.
"Thank you, Hunter," Claw said. "Now I believe it's time to ask June some questions. Scuff…?"
The dog nodded.
Oh great. More questions?
