Jason looked up and ahead staring at the closed lift doors. 'Were you two close?' Chris asked eventually. Chris looked over at Jason, his face uncharacteristically solemn and heavy, obviously thinking of the missing Ex Libris. Gods wandering the halls, trained killers casually drinking coffee in the same room, and a labyrinth of an archive wasn’t quite what he was expecting, life in London was going to be interesting to say the least. Silence fell between the two men letting the gentle hum of the lift fill the space, Chris let his mind drift as they descended down into the depths. ‘The facts are that he’s gone and you’re it until he comes back or…’ His train of thought dissipated mid sentence, only adding to Chris’ first day nerves. ‘Well, Anthony went in and he’s yet to come out, so it’s certainly changing our perspective on the whole thing.’ Jason put away the tablet. 'I know the archives are big, but surely they’re not that big. He’s been gone for over six months with absolutely no trace.'Ĭhris took another look at the image on the tablet before handing it back. Anthony went down to the archives one day and now we can’t find him. 'Believe it or not, that is exactly what happened. 'What did he do, get lost in the Archives?’ He continued smiling at the slight joke but stopped when he noticed Jason was not. MIA.' Chris looked up at Jason, 'MIA? Can an Ex Libris even go MIA?' Chris chuckled a little. The accompanying caption read 'Anthony Reynolds - Ex Libris. Apart from some striking blue eyes he was quite average. His dark brown hair was lightly peppered with grey, it was cut close to his head probably to hide any emerging baldness. The screen showed a picture of a man in his fifties wearing rimless, round glasses, his clean shaven face accentuated his long forehead and rounded features. ‘But don’t worry he wrote meticulous notes and procedures. Anthony was something else.’ Jason said looking up from the small screen. Wrote a lot of the software you’ll be using. Basically you’ll just be learning the ropes for the first few weeks, the guy you’re replacing was a bit of a legend around here. Jason was navigating the touch screen of the tablet and from what Chris could see it seemed to be a staff directory. Now I’m guessing it’s a little more complicated than all that?' I figured it will be much the same as I was doing before, cataloguing materials, literary searches, looking after the archive. ‘Has anyone told you what you’ll be doing down here?' Jason asked removing a small tablet device from his jacket.
