Chapter 6

I unfolded the letter.

The words "Resignation Letter," printed in huge, bold black letters, stabbed through the room like a pair of daggers, catching everyone's attention.

I didn't look at Theo's face.

But I could sense that the confident aura he always carried collapsed in an instant.

I set the resignation letter down softly on the table.

Then, with a single finger, I nudged it right toward Theo.

It ended up just beneath the employment application he was holding aloft.

One on top, one below.

One red, one white.

The irony couldn't be sharper.

"Thank you, Mr. Brewer," I said.
