The Click Worker: A Fictional Narrative

I feel like my head is going to explode.
It can’t be her.. Right?

First off I don’t even know if it was her; it could’ve been someone entirely different. Second off, it’s possible that there was a ranking mistake—although that’s highly unlikely. Third… I just don’t want to believe anything that is happening right now. But the facts are there! Claudia says she is all business, but yet she just so happens to go over to Greyson’s and he is murdered. It fits perfectly. Her and that Axe guy could have gone over, done the deed and Claudia calls to cover herself
