Chapter 98 - Eighty-Three
ERWIN
This room is utterly...ordinary. There is nothing. Nothing at all that will make it any secret computer lab. It’s just a plain guest room. My blood boils in fury but I take a few steady breaths and manage to subside it. Ruth comes and stands behind me, peeking over to the room.
"Wait, is this where we were supposed to find evidence?" Ruth is in dismay and so am I, "There is no shit here that will make it anything likable to search for evidence."
"John, are you sure that you found the right address?" I say, my voice calm yet threateningly dangerous, I am on the verge of snapping and John immediately picks up on it.
"Am sure that this is the address." He says firmly, "If it’s not in this room then we will have to invade the whole house."
"Are you crazy?" I spit, "I am not some kind of button man. How am I supposed to invade the whole house? And let us not talk about the human weight I am carrying around with me." I am talking about Ruth.
"And as if I wanted to come with you." He bickers back.
"Okay, everyone, cool down." Leo tries to soothe the heavy atmosphere, "How much time do we have before the owner of the house comes back, John?" He asks.
"He usually comes back around five. So we have at least thirty minutes in our hands before he comes back and finds out that he has invaders." He announces.
"Good enough." Leo acknowledges and his next words are directed to me, "Listen, Erwin, we have a good thirty minutes in our hands. So, search the room thoroughly, and don’t leave any corner left. I have a feeling we will find something useful here."
I exhale and rub my face exasperatedly, "Hah, fine. Ruth get to work." And we start to search every nook and hook of the plain room and find nothing.
