Shia looked up from his monitor, rubbed his eyes, and stared down the dark hallway toward the
CFOs office. He was certain a sound had come from behind the closed door. It was a heavy thump
like someone had a dropped a bowling ball. There shouldn't be anyone else here at this house, Shia
thought to himself as he looked at his watch. The only illumination came from Shia's computer
monitor. His office was on the thirteen floor, far too high to get much more than a faint glow from
the street lights below. Shia slowly stood up before reaching down to turn off the computer screen,
hoping to hide in the darkness. He considered turning on his phone's flashlight, but his thoughts
were cut short by a loud crash followed by the unmistaken tinkling of shattered glass. Shia froze as if
he were caught by the gaze of Medusa. The initial doubt that he would actually find someone
snooping around the CFOs office - verified answer Shia is working late, he hears mysterious noises,
and he is frightened enough to leave work
