Grayson was smiling, but the employees who saw his face were sweating bullets.
“No, we really don’t know…”
“Give us a clue, anything. How are we supposed to figure out who did what in that situation?”
“Yeah, once the job’s done, it’s over. We don’t bother figuring out who did well or not. Even if we find someone who messed up, we try to come up with a solution to prevent it from happening again, not to blame anyone.”
Everyone spouted platitudes, but Grayson wasn’t interested. His only concern was who the Dominant Omega was that had doused him with Pheromones and knocked him out.
“This is the whole team, right?”
Grayson pointedly asked, and Wilkins said with a disgruntled look, “Yeah.”
“Oh, Dane is missing.”
At someone’s words, everyone looked at him at once. Grayson muttered over the team members who were cursing him with their eyes.
“Dane?”
As he said the name, twitching his eyebrows slightly, another team member smirked and replied.
“Yeah, the bastard who tried to smash your head in with a fire extinguisher.”
Snickers erupted here and there. Grayson also smiled, but his eyes remained cold.
“He only tried, he didn’t hit me.”
“Ah, what a shame. He could have.”
To the man who joked with regretful sighs, Grayson smiled back and said.
“I think so too.”
They knew what the hidden meaning in those words was without having to ask. In the atmosphere that froze again, Grayson emptied the remaining beer and looked around the group once.
“Excuse me for a moment.”
They stared blankly at his back as he turned and walked towards the bathroom.
“Why is that bastard looking for Dane?”
Ezra, who spoke first, was asked by the others as if they had been waiting.
“Ezra, what happened back then? I mean, we went along with you.”
“Wasn’t that the first time Dane clashed with him today? Wasn’t he out of his mind back then? There wouldn’t have been any time to talk.”
“What happened that made that bastard grind his teeth and come all the way here! Tell us, we need to know to respond!”
“Wait, wait a minute.”
Overwhelmed by the flood of questions, Ezra put his hands forward in embarrassment. Receiving everyone’s attention, he looked troubled.
“I don’t really know. I just arrived at the scene with you guys.”
“I wasn’t there. Explain it in detail.”
Wilkins had been directing operations from outside at the time. If he had known things would turn out like this, he would have gone in himself. After the incident, he would hear the incident report, but who saved whom was generally completely useless information. He had no idea what was happening in his team.
“Um… well, I followed Dane, and there was him and two other victims. You know, those crazy twins… They were already out of it, and only that bastard was okay. But no matter what he did, those two kept freaking out and giving us a hard time…”
“And?”
Unable to contain his impatience, Wilkins urged, and Ezra pointed in the direction Grayson had disappeared with a distorted face.
“Suddenly, that bastard fainted.”
“What? Why?”
“Suddenly?”
Everyone showed the same reaction to the unexpected words. Ezra also shook his head in embarrassment.
“I don’t know why it happened. I didn’t see it, but I think Dane did it.”
“Dane? How?”
As someone wondered, another voice picked up as if remembering something.
“Ah, come to think of it, didn’t Dane say he was in the military?”
“That’s right, he said he was also dispatched to the Middle East.”
With that, the same thought came to everyone’s mind. He must have used a special technique learned in the military.
“Why, you know, like on YouTube, they knock people out by hitting them on the neck like this?”
One person made a gesture of striking with the edge of their hand, and another person spread the knowledge they knew.
“I heard you can knock someone out by grabbing them tightly here.”
“There must be more than that, right? They’ll receive special training.”
The gathered people nodded in turn, forming a consensus.
“Anyway, when that guy fainted, the other two calmed down a bit… The two of them were rescued separately, and Dane and I threw that bastard out the window.”
“…Could there be something wrong with his head because of the way he was knocked out?”
“No, knowing his personality, he might just be angry about being hit in the first place.”
“Yeah, if that’s the case, then it makes sense that Miller is trying to find Dane.”
“He was looking for the person who hit him. So, that reward is actually revenge?”
As someone said, Ezra stepped forward and added a word.
“That’s why I tried to hide it somehow. He already had that incident during the day, and if he knew it was the same guy who hit him and knocked him out, he would really try to kill him.”
As everyone understood, one person raised an objection.
“No matter how much it is Miller, it would be difficult to get away with murder.”
“If it’s Miller, there are plenty of ways to do it without using physical force.”
The objection soon subsided. In the end, their opinions were united. Absolutely, definitely, no matter what, they would keep the fact that the person Grayson was looking for was Dane a secret.
Betting on their life-or-death loyalty with their colleague.
Desire Me if you can
You morons.
With a stiff expression, Grayson crossed the hall and headed to the secluded bathroom. He could clearly tell that they were hiding something. Should he grab them one by one and break their fingers?
There were many methods that came to mind, but there was no guarantee that they would tell the truth. There are countless research results that torture is not effective for confession. Unless it’s just for a hobby or pleasure, there’s no reason to go to such trouble. Above all, what was important to Grayson was the truth. If it didn’t help him get the truth, he didn’t want to waste time on such useless things.
Is waiting the only way after all?
It’s not that he didn’t expect this situation. Isn’t that why he became a firefighter in the first place? Anyway, if he keeps watching closely, he will be able to find him someday.
Thinking that, he wasn’t tired at all, even though it was quite late. He can finally meet his destiny. Just the thought of it made the annoyance disappear far away, and instead, his whole body was overflowing with strength.
Even though he fails every time, he is always excited and thrilled with anticipation again. This time when he imagines someone approaching is the most enjoyable time in Grayson’s life. Maybe he won’t be able to sleep properly until he finds his destined one. Even so, he won’t be tired at all. Grayson is facing the most important moment in his life.
Right now.
Whistling and opening the door, something came into view. A woman groaning with her arms leaning against the wall and her upper body bent over, and a man moving his waist behind her…
Chest.
Grayson stood there without even blinking, staring intently at the man’s large, firm breasts. Every time the man moved, the luscious things were stretched taut and then loosened repeatedly. Grayson was momentarily mesmerized, watching the muscles rise and fall firmly.
The man’s body was like a well-carved statue. A heavy penis was faintly visible and disappeared, then visible and disappeared again below his abs with a clear six-pack. The two were connected as one, and the man was holding the woman’s breast with one hand and her waist with the other, going in and out.
Grayson vaguely realized that he had mistaken the store’s supply room for a bathroom. It was only a few seconds, but when he belatedly recalled that he had been blankly watching other people’s sex, or rather, the man’s body engrossed in sex and pounding into the woman.
Suddenly, the man turned his head. A neat face, somewhat flushed from sex, came into Grayson’s view. The moment red-blond hair and blue eyes were imprinted on his retina, his handsome brow furrowed as if annoyed.
Oh.
The memory ended there.
