Keep Your Enemies Close

I made my way through the corridor, confident in my discoverings now, timing when each supervisor would leave and turn the shift, it almost felt like being able to tell the future, as if I was all-powerful and knowing.

I turned to the last part of the hallway, looking past a while, hiding a little bit near the sections, and I discreetly pulled out my pocket watch to look at the time and put it away again before looking at the man pacing the back of the hallway.

He looked around and then at his wristwatch before straightening up and walking away into one of the sections.

I smiled to myself, I had managed to perfectly memorize and calculate all their shifts, I knew which supervisor was going to walk out next exactly when the longer arm in the clock would reach the number 6.

I was about to walk away triumphantly when I heard a familiar voice speaking in the section the supervisor had just walked into.
