Black Badger

I caught him right away.

It wasn't hard to catch him. Especially since the terrified scientist had wandered into an empty office on his own.

I quietly closed the door to the room that looked like a conference room.

The scientist realized he was cornered and started trembling.

"Calm down. I won't hurt you."

Was that the wrong thing to say?

Judging by how the shaking intensified, it seemed so.

This guy was no good.

I stood there watching the scientist, who shook pitifully but wouldn't set down the bundle the size of a human head.
