Suddenly, the doorknob rattled.
Rex froze.
He turned toward the door, blood draining from his face.
Then, he turned to look at the screen.
98%...
'Hurry up… Just a bit more… move, move…'
Then he heard the one voice he didn't want to hear.
"Where the hell did I put that folder…"
Professor Clement.
Turning toward the screen, it was still stuck at 98%.
The doorknob unlocked with a tick, and then, with a creaking noise, the door slowly opened.
Taking one last look at the screen, he dove behind the desk.
His heart was thundering in his ears.
"He's here."
He quickly sent Adrian the message.
Adrian's reply came back instantly. "What? Already?! Shit, get out of there, now!"
But Rex had already turned the phone off, crouched like a predator in the shadows.
The screen glowed faintly from behind the desk, but due to the sunlight, it wasn't clearly visible.
But he could still see what he wanted.
98%... 99%...
It finally moved.
