I was a victim of that distortion.

If it weren’t for people creating false accusations, I wouldn’t be sitting here. Just thinking about Chantel made my blood boil. Why would she smear my name like that? She was already an established reporter with a great reputation.

People surprised me every day.The limits they would go to in order to harm another baffled me. Where did they find the timeto do that? I’d rather devote the energy to something that made me happy.

I looked at all the information on The Condor. My meticulous boss seemed too organized. It made me want to unsettle him.

He has unsettled you today.

I flicked the thought away like lint stuck to my shirt and looked at the image of The Condor again. “Who are you? Whatdid you do, Pablo?” I tapped his photo. “How many enemies do you have?”

Orion gave me a list of tasks. He must love his to-do lists.

Review the list of locations The Condor visited.

Link any connections that they had with each other, if any.

Who owns the locations?

Info on them.

Add everything to the spreadsheet in the shared folder.

Compile in alphabetical order.

We’ll review updates every few days.

New tasks will be provided as needed.
