Cynthia was waiting outside the office in case she would be called in, though her work space was right outside the director's office she still waited outside the door, all of a sudden she heard loud screams from within.
The sounds were muffled so she wasn't sure she'd heard correctly, but if her ears weren't failing her, she could have sworn she'd heard a man scream out in pain.
She looked back at the door for a moment before looking away, why would anyone scream inside the office?
But not too long after, she heard another sound similar to the first.
This time she couldn't be mistaken, someone had indeed screamed but what was so disturbing was how gut wrenching that scream sounded.
Wait, what was going on inside this office anyway?
She waited to confirm if what she was hearing truly were cries of terror and pain before raising her hand with an urgent urge to knock but stopped herself.
