Adam began to walk forward into the cafeteria. His steps were calm and deliberate.
The members of the Red Team who were sitting at their tables saw him approach.
They were completely unconcerned. In fact they seemed almost nonchalant.
It was as if they knew exactly what was going to happen. It was as if they had been anticipating this very confrontation. They were ready for him.
Several lower-ranking members of the Red Team stood up from their tables.
They moved to intercept Adam. They formed a human barrier a wall of bodies between Adam and the table where their leadership sat. They were going to stop him from reaching their leaders.
Ryan walking a few paces behind Adam was terrified. The fear was a palpable living thing inside him. It was twisting his insides into knots. He was so scared he felt sick.
All eyes in the cafeteria were now fixed on this single unfolding drama.
