A bad boy's past

Casper left the two Field Guides at the elevators when he was called away by a young Guide who seemed to be panicking. Brent and Kellen didn't take it personally, and Kellen was happy to see that Casper was trusted by the Guides. 

The two, who had forgotten some things at the conference room, headed back up to grab their things. When they arrived, they found that most of the important players that they had expected to see, were either busy (Hill), or weren't there. Traces remained of them, like Kellen's parent's laptop, or the Captain's jacket, but they were gone. 

Thinking nothing of it, Kellen made sure they had all of their things, before heading back to their office. Confusingly, Kellen noticed that Brent was quite quiet as they moved around the tower. For a man who usually, like Hill, kept a constant, semi-nonsense filled stream of words, it was a little alarming. Kellen found out as soon as they were behind closed doors, without prying eyes or ears.
