The older officer's expression changed upon seeing the card."The Reed Corporation's successor?"
Mason smiled slightly."I'd advise you all not to waste anymore of your precious time looking for Peyton.She will surface soon when she's done playing hide and seek."
He got up,adjusted his clothes by straightening out the imaginary lines on his clothes before saying,"I have business to attend to,so I'll get going now."
And with that,he left without uttering another word.I wondered what his expression was going to be when he saw my body.Was he going to realize his stupidity all this time?
The more I thought about it,the more I realized that even I could pay a fortune just to see that.

(Peyton's POV)
As Mason took long strides,the station seemed to fade into the distance.As he left the building,his face grew darker than when he first entered.
I hovered nearby,observing him closely.He walked hastily to his car but didn't get in;instead,he brought out a cigarette,lighting it and taking a deep puff out of it.
The fiery ember illuminated his chiseled,troubled face.He looked like his was lost in thoughts.I wondered what he was thinking about.
