Edward turned off the shower as he shook away the memory of a day he'd ended up enjoying.
The Pin's hosted a mean party, he couldn't deny and he'd looked forward to every single one after that.
When his grandmother had showed him the letter, he'd run his hand over the seal again and again. Edward remembered complimenting on how neat and bold it was.
Painted in a bright maroon colour, the insignia had the Pin's name boldly at the centre of the circle while around it was some sort of Chinese language, a pact that the family stood by.
He hadn't yet touched this letter, but Edward had seen it and it looked similar.
He wrapped himself from the waist down in a towel that stopped just short of his ankles.
While the upper part of his body was dry, the hairs on his legs were slick with the warm water and stuck to his legs like glue.
Edward padded with his wet feet from the bathroom across his carpeted floor to his dressing table where he took up a brush and ran it multiple times through his hair.
The food cooling on the bed didn't bother him as much as the letter beside it, but Edward was taking his time getting to it.
His phone rang from where he had left it on the bedside cupboard and Edward moved quickly to answer it. It was Viktor. He has called him before Greta knocked but there had been no reply.
”I'm listening,” he said into the receiver as soon as he clicked the green button.
”Did you get the letter yet?” Viktor asked after he'd greeted his boss.
”Yes. Who delivered it?”
”I don't know sir. It was there this morning on the front desk when the receptionist came to work,” Viktor informed him.
His sentences were a bit rushed and he was panting. Edward figured he had just come out of the gym. That explained why he hadn't picked the call earlier.
”How did it get there?”
”No one knows. The night shift said no one came into the building at any point while they were around.
And the replacement shift was there before any of them left. The building was secure at all times.”
The more Viktor told him, the more convinced Edward became as to who had sent him the letter.
”The letter, did it come with anything else?” Edward asked as he moved to the bed. He slid the tray closer to the edge and picked up the letter.
”I was just getting to that part. How did you know?” Viktor was confused.
Edward flipped open the letter and read the first line. ”Because I've been receiving letters like this since I was a kid.”
There was a pause. ”What?”
”What did the letter come with?” but even as he asked, Edward already knew the answer.
”A paperweight.”
