I Am The Luna

“Afternoon Ms Toussaint.‘

*Afternoon Mr Payne,” I reply as I sit back.

“I like it when you call me that.” He says, sauntering over to my desk as the door

slowly thuds shut behind him.

“Keep at that and people will think we are together.”

“That’s not a bad thing.” He winks at me.

I shake my head as I stand up. “Mr Harrsion gave me these and I don’t know what to make of them. It’s Sebastian’s plan for Mr Harrison’s project. Why would Mr

Harrison give it to me?”

“Unless someone told him to give it to you… have you handled these with bare

hands?”

“Yeah…”

He frowns. “Go wash your hands and I need some gloves. It could be poisoned…”

I nod, quickly doing as he says before I retrieve some latex gloves from the first aid box, and pass them to him.

“So, did you find anything?” I ask as he begins examining the file.”

“Yes, and I think we might know who it was that Annalise met in my pack.” He answers, his brows furrowed as he examines the file. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

“Who?” I ask, my heart skipping a beat.

“Check it out.”

He motions at his briefcase, and I pick it up, opening it quickly as he continues

examining the paper.

There’s a laptop inside and I flip it open and instantly recognise the lavender- themed décor from that New Year’s Ball.

My heart is racing as I watch intently,

“The man in the dark brown,” Atticus says. “Keep observing him.”

I notice him after a few seconds. He blends in well and I don’t know why, but his

posture feels familiar….

Almost like an itch, you can’t quite reach…

I watch as he disappears through those doors and then the camera switches to that very corridor, where I had heard Annalise talking to someone in one of the rooms.

It’s dark and you can’t see his face as he walks swiftly down the hall.

“I feel like I recognise him…” I murmur.

“We couldn’t get it any clearer, but when he leaves, there’s a clearer shot, and I think I’ve seen him around here.” He says, now leaning over me as he speeds it up a little

“It’s like he knows where the cameras are. He hides away well.” I say, not once is his

face at a clear angle.

“I think it’s on purpose because in the shot that I’m talking about, he seems a little

startled and it’s like he looked up on reflex,” he replies.

I watch as the man disappears into a room, and then I see myself coming down the

hallway.

“Still as beautiful as you were back then.” He murmurs

I look up at him, but it’s a mistake as our eyes meet and he’s a little too close. His

gaze dips to my lips before I quickly turn away and look back at the screen.

He chuckles lightly, brushing it off, but I know him better than that.

I hate that I’m hurting him too….

He speeds up the video a little before he stops.

“Around here “he says, and that’s when I suddenly sit forward, my heart

thundering as the man turns his head sharply and at that moment I catch a glimpse

of none other than-

“Ethan…”

“You know who it is?” Atticus asks sharply as we both stare at the now frozen image

of the man on the screen.

I nod. There’s no doubt about it… now that I recognise him, I’m all the more confident

it’s him.

“Yes! That’s Ethan. He was and still is one of the most loyal drivers for the Kings.”

Our eyes meet, both of our hearts racing knowing that we have just found a new lead and maybe just maybe the mole.
