[ WP ] A soviet sleeper agent gets activated in present day .

The sweat beading on my forehead began to roll, gaining momentum as it approached the brow line. My heart racing, **Thump thump thump. ** My chest heaving with each silenced breath. 
 I lean forward, glancing briefly past the edge of the wooden desk. My eyes stumble over the intricate carvings that cover the leg. 
 I hear a creak, jolted back into the moment I remember why I was peering out. 
 
 *Surely this man must have lost his mind, I worked with him for 10 years. Wife, kids, dog, house in the suburbs. What could have possessed him to snap like this? Not two hours earlier were we sitting at side by side desks, talking about our weekends; The grilling we had both done, the time spent with our children. * 
 
 Another creak, I check back at the door to the secluded office. 
 Still closed. 
 Eerily, the whole building is maintaining a sort of silence. 
 
 *As if a switch was thrown, my co worker began speaking some sort of foreign language. My best guess was that it was Russian but I could n't be sure. Pulling some sort of handgun from inside his suit jacket he then fired round after round into the horde of our colleagues who were frantically running for their lives. I was frozen in my chair, the whole thing felt like 7 hours but it could not have taken more than 20 minutes. *
