Chapter 8 Memories of Oscorp
My mind carried me back to four months ago the day that my termination was announced. It started out as a typical Monday morning, everyone in the office was a walking zombie basically. My job was simple make sure all of the numbers in the business added up. The walk to my desk was spent in silence, it was hard to make friends at Oscorp, not that I was particularly looking either. Gwen worked here in the research department as well so that was about the only friend that, I had. She didn't know the truth of what I was doing however that would put her in danger. Harry had asked me to spy on his father for him and so far it had been going well my vast technological know how, had uncovered many dirty secrets as well as coved my tracks. Still I wasn't foolish enough to think that Norman Osborn wouldn't find out, it was only a matter of time. My fingers danced across the keyboard as my eyes scanned the screen, this is the big break we need, they have been studying gene recombination. A highly controversial branch of science and Oscorp most certainly wasn't supposed to be studying it. The information had just finished downloading on my flash drive when the phone on my desk began to ring. My hand fell on the phone and lifted it to my ear and a smooth yet chilling tone came on the line and said, " Ms. Hardy please report to my office and by the way my cameras are watching you." My hand hung the phone up and then slid underneath the desk to pull my flash drive inconspicuously, after dropping it in my bra my hand went into my purse to pull out a tube of Chapstick. Well to be honest it wasn't a Chapstick tube anymore in anticipation of this day a self delegating program had been inserted into my system and this little tube of lip relief was the trigger. My hand pushed the button on the top and it did the rest of the work. My steps resounded off the floor as they carried me toward the glass elevator that would take me to the top floor. My voice was shaken as I said, "Top floor please" The elevator then started to rise and it soon came to a halt at my desired floor. The only people who had an office on this floor were Norman Osborn and Donald Menken there were other office spaces however. The glass door to Norman Osborn's office stood before me as a daunting challenge, remember Felicia he expects you to be scared don't give him that satisfaction. A finale deep breath escaped me as my hand rose to knock on the glass barrier. It took a moment but soon enough come in was heard from the other side of the room and there he stood in all of his seven foot glory, his eyes were the same as Harry's but they lacked the kindness and warmth of Harry's. He began to speak in a tone that sent shivers up my spine, " Ms. Hardy its been brought to my attention your sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. The only course of action that I can think of is to let you go. We will be in contact though if we find anything illegal on your computer." My tone was full of false kindness when I replied, "Thank you for the opportunity to work here Mr. Osborn. I will clean my desk and leave immediately" My feet carried me out of the office as he turned to look out the glass wall of his office. After clearing my desk and heading home to Peters house the only thing I could think was, I hope Harry gets back soon. My mind was pulled out of its daydream by a strong hand on my shoulder and he said, "Are you ready to enter the belly of the beast?" My head nodded and we proceeded toward the front door.
