Summary
Malcolm stares down at the paper. It's rubbed grey by now, bits of eraser spread out around the top of the page. He scribbles over Gil's name for the tenth time, crumples the page into a ball, and throws it across the coffee table.
Why is writing a suicide note so fucking difficult?

Summary
Memories of his childhood flood his mind, that fateful night he left his father's study only to be waylaid by a strange noise down the hall. The trunk in the middle of the room had drawn his attention completely, had seared itself into his memory so wholly that it haunted his dreams for decades.
But now, instead of some unknown girl trapped inside, he's somehow become the boy in the box.

No. 24 FIGHT, FLIGHT OR FREEZE
Blood Covered Hands | Catatonic | “I don’t want to do this anymore.”"You okay, Bright?"
Gil's been standing in the doorway, watching Malcolm vacantly stare at the street below, for nearly a minute now. He's pretty sure the kid isn't actually seeing anything down there. Or anything in the conference room.
Or anything at all, really.
He has that look — the corners of his eyebrows and lips tugged down just a little, eyes glassy and unfocused — that tells Gil he's a million miles away, completely lost in his thoughts.

A dog cage.
But that's far from his biggest concern at the moment.
"Gil? Dani?"

Malcolm's hold keeps the man from releasing the switch, but that doesn't stop Gil from nearly vomiting when Malcolm's chest presses up against the bomb.

Summary
"Move!"
His abductor — because that's exactly what's happening and Malcolm knows there's no use denying it — is nearly twice his size and built like a brick shit house. Even if he thought he could get out of the car, he knows he doesn't stand a chance of getting past Bryce Sandoval.
Which, given the man's MO, means Malcolm may not survive the night.

Jessica invited the Team to a charity Gala she is hosting anonymously. It’s been a tough year so they all agree to go and want to support Jessica.

Little do they know that the event is the target of some thieves that are hoping to use the night's festivities to cover their pilfering of the venue's expensive artworks and antiques. It’s a pity Malcolm and Dani pick the room with the best works of art to get handsy.
