Delivery boy outsmarts a boardroom
About
The bag is still warm in your hands. You were just supposed to drop off the order and leave. But the door was open, the conference room was loud, and the city map on the wall - your city - had a massive error circled in red marker. You said something. One sentence. Maybe two.

The silence after your words is the loudest thing in the room.
He turns from the projection slowly. His eyes find you - the delivery bag, the jacket, all of it - and he doesn't look away.
