"Come then, Father! Swear it to me on Styx' ineluctable waters. With one hand grasp your deadly bident, with the other take hold of your sharp spear, so that all the gods who yet remain above or those who dwell with us far below may be witnesses to our pact."

Breakout
Before I could say another word the morning bell blasted me back into my body. Covering my ears instead of my eyes made me scream.

BARE HUNTER. Content Warning.
Chapter 7 On the way home, I stopped at Burger King and ordered a couple of Whoppers and a drink from the drive-thru. Shoving them into my mouth as I drove, I went over the conversation with Greg line by line. IT might be dirty. Couldn’t call in officials, like cops, or FBI because we handled government accounts. Our company would be toast if there were any questions about our air-tight security system. He wanted me to set up surveillance on the IT department. Where? How? Who were these dudes he trusted to run whatever I set up? So many questions and not enough answers.
