They entered the office of the virologist and inside, it was similar to the outside. The office was thrashed, which was expected as it wasn't locked.
Papers were scattered across the floor, some torn, others stained. Cabinets had been forced open, their contents pulled out and left in disarray. A desk sat near the far wall, partially overturned, its drawers hanging open.
Ryan stepped in first.
"Clear," he said, sweeping his weapon across the corners before lowering it slightly.
The team followed, spreading out inside the room.
"Check everything," Adrian said. "No assumptions."
They moved with purpose.
One operator went straight to the desk, pulling open what remained of the drawers and sifting through the contents. Another checked the shelves, scanning through binders and folders that had been knocked over. A third moved toward a set of cabinets near the back, opening each one carefully.
Adrian walked deeper into the room, eyes scanning every detail.
No body.
