Allison offered a sheepish smile, feigning innocence as she gestured toward his desk. “Oh, | wasn’t staring at
him. | was just looking at the jar of candies on his desk. They seem... unique.”
Judith followed her gaze and gave a knowing nod. “Ah, those candies. They're his favorite. You could say they're
our safety indicator. As long as he’s eating them, it means he’s in a decent mood, and no one’s going to die that

won't notice the difference.”
Gordon's chuckle cthrough the earpiece, light and amused. “Fair enough. I'll scope out the best place for
