Chapter 2

Chris let out a small breath before knocking on the office door. 

"Come in" Dream's reply reached her ears. 

Chris opened the door, and there was her boss, sitting at his desk, doing, some kind of paperwork. 

"You called for me?" Chris asked as she stepped into the office room. 

"Yes, I did. I wanted to give you something our security cameras caught yesterday" Dream told her. 

He reached under his desk and pulled out one of the hidden cameras that the Justice Reigns had placed everywhere. He held it out to Chris, who took it and turned it over in her hands. 

"This was from hallway A, section B" she noted. 

"Yup, and that camera caught something that you need to see. And I want you to give the boy quite the talking to" Dream told her. 

Chris nodded. 

"I will once I know who it was and what he did" she replied as she clipped the camera to her hip belt. 

"And another thing. How are you doing so far?" Dream asked. 

Chris cocked her head a bit in confusion. 

"Its almost been a year since you joined this organization" her boss reminded her. 

"Oh...OH! Jeez, it already been almost a year?" Chris said as she realized Dream was right. 

"Yeesh, I've been so busy with work and training, I hardly even noticed time was going by" she added. 

"Being busy does tend to have that effect" Dream said with a soft smile. 

"So, is that all?" Chris asked. 

Dream nodded. 

"Alright then. I'ma review this footage and find out what happened" Chris said, patting the camera a bit. 

"You go do that" Dream said. 

Chris turned and headed for the door. Though, right as her hand was on the handle, Dream stopped her. 

"And, Chris?" 

Chris paused and looked back at him. 

"Could you, one, check up on Ink? And two, send him to my office? There's something I need to talk to him about" Dream requested. 

"What? Worried about your right hander or something?" Chris asked. 

"Actually, yes. He hasn't been sleeping all that well lately" Dream told her. 

"Oh. Well, I'll stop by his office on the way to mine. I need to pick up something from the break room" Chris said as she started to head out. 

"Let me guess, sweetened coffee" Dream said teasingly. 

Chris stuck her head back into the room. 

"Hey! Leave me and my coffee and sugar addictions alone" she said in a playfully defensive tone. 

She heard Dream's chuckles fade away after she closed the door and walked away. She soon came up to the door that led to the faculty break room, where every J.R. official visited throughout the day. 

Today, it looked like someone visited Bakertale(completely made up AU) and brought in some sweet treats. Some of the stuff even had fillings that had alcohol in them. And since Chris was twenty-one, she could have those. 

Yum. 

After getting a small bag and filling it with donuts and eclairs, Chris made two coffee's, one that had a lot of sugar and some creamer, which she marked, and the other had just creamer. Using her levitating magic, Chris carried everything and stopped by Ink's office. 

She knocked, and stepped in after hearing Ink's soft "Come in". 

"Hey Ink" Chris said as she leaned on the doorway. 

"What do you want?" Ink asked, his tone a bit short due to being a bit exhausted from the work that today had brought around. 

"Coffee?" Chris offered, bringing up the coffee with the creamer in it. Ink tapped a spot on his desk, and Chris floated the cup over to where he had tapped. 

"Hard day huh?" she asked. "Yeah..." Ink said before he took a sip from his coffee. 

He then looked at it. 

"How much creamer did you put in?" he asked. 

"Why? Too much?" Chris asked, to which Ink shook his head. 

He looked over at Chris. 

"Though I am wondering whether or not you put one pound of sugar in yours" he said. 

Chris let out an exasperated sigh. 

"What is up with everyone bullying me with my sugar and coffee addictions today?!" she said, crossing her arms a bit while taking a judgmental sip of coffee. 

Ink couldn't help the small amused chuckle that escaped his body. 

"Anyways, how are you doing?" Chris asked. 

"Tired, and a little irritated, but, that's about it" Ink replied. 

He glanced over at Chris. 

"Why?" he asked. 

"Partially because I was curious, and partially because Dream asked me to check up on you" Chris told him before taking a sip of sweet coffee. 

"He did?" Ink asked. 

Chris nodded. 

"The guy's worried about you, Ink. Told me that you've been having a bit of trouble when it came to sleeping" she said. 

Ink stayed silent, which caused Chris to look over at him. 

"Maybe you should lay off the coffee for a bit and actually try to get some sleep. Close out early today" she suggested. 

"Chris, you realize I still have a lot of work to do, right?" Ink asked with a sarcastic chuckle and a raised bone brow. 

Chris held his gaze. 

"But you should also realize health should come before work" she said, her tone holding a gentle edge. 

Ink looked away from her and sighed a bit. 

"Well, Dream also wanted to talk to you. But, no rush" Chris added. 

Ink started up. 

"What?! Why didn't you just say that?!" he asked. 

"Because Dream wanted me to check up on you first before telling you he wanted to talk to you" Chris said casually while looking away and taking a sip from her drink. 

Ink rolled his eyelights before standing up from his desk. Knowing he was leaving to see Dream, Chris backed out of the office. 

"See ya tomorrow" she said before turning around and heading towards her office. 

After getting in and closing the door behind her, Chris sat at her desk, put her sweet treats and coffee down, and opened her computer. She took out the camera Dream had given her, and after examining it, found the small video saver. 

She plugged it into her computer and the day's video popped up. She clicked 'play', and looked through it, fast forwarding here and there to skip through the more casual things. 

Then she found something in the video, and to say she was mad, would be the understatement of the year...
