A New Member or a New Leader? (4)

Damien went rigid upon hearing the man's voice. He only heard his voice once in a phone call but he knew it so well already. His coal-black eyes darkened as he stared at the device on the wall at the same time that Katherine's hand trembled when she reached out to turn on the camera. 

She didn't need to see him to know that it was really him because she was one hundred percent sure that it was—rather, she had to see to make sure that she wasn't hallucinating. And judging by how Damien's fingers and arm muscles flexed around her, she knew that he was also angry.

As soon as Katherine pressed on a button, there was a movement on the screen and the camera from the lobby showed the man that she expected to see. "Chris…" she muttered under gritted teeth, her voice dipping low.

"Hello, Katherine," Chris responded with a nonchalant attitude and even gave her a smile through the lens when he saw the LED lit up.
