Chapter 23
I gulped nervously as Callahan closed the door behind me. The door fell shut with a soft click and I could not help but suddenly realize that it was just us two in here.
“Take a seat” He pointed to one of the many chairs as he walked towards his desk.
I look around and found a notepad and pen lying on the desk. “May I?” I asked, and he nodded.
I took it, mostly to give my hands something to do than fidget nervously. I clicked the pen and asked,

Callahan scratched his chin, “Loud music. Please keep it soft”
I wrote down- he is boring.
This was helping me calm down my nervousness and frustration.
