Chapter 146: Save Me

Ezra whistled as he stared out the windows of his office. He stood, his jacket draped over the back of his chair and his hands in his pockets. Behind him, Ava was finishing up her verbal report.

Even if he was a man at war, appearances had to be maintained, so, he was at work.

A ghost of a smile crossed his lips as he recalled the events of two nights ago. "Ava," he called out, "the weather is great, isn't it. Bright day and all that?"

Ava took a moment to stare outside, confused. Rain splattered against the window, heavily, hiding the usual canvas of skyscrapers from view. "Err... if you say so, sir." She answered.

"Very well." Ezra nodded. "You may go." As Ava left, Ezra sat in his chair, whistling the lyrics to the the new hit song by the popular girl group A X E. "Come on, come on, baby, don't you see?

We're going all in tonight, just you and me."
