Cammy arrived at work later than usual after waiting for her mother to finish getting ready and then dropping her off at a friend's house. Despite the delay, she felt relieved that Monica had decided to stay there, especially after complaining non-stop about the mattress in her apartment.
When she pulled up to Cross Tech, she was met with an unexpected sight—a long line of employees waiting to enter the building.
Frowning, she approached one of the people in line. "Excuse me, what's going on?"
"They've started checking employees' bags and installed a body scanner at the entrance," the employee explained, shaking their head in frustration. "Honestly, I think it's overkill. Our security system is already top-notch. This just feels unnecessary."
Cammy sighed and joined the queue, moving through the security measures like everyone else before making her way to her department. The first person she looked for was Chiqui, but her desk was empty.
