Shadows…

“See you tomorrow, Doctor.”, Katya said as she left the lab. She was one of the lab assistants in Jonathan’s and Glenn’s team.
“Yeah… have a nice evening..”, Jonathan replied a little absentmindedly. He was sitting at one of the tables in the lab going through the results from today and taking some notes. They were making good progress and they were definitely on the right way. What they did could be groundbreaking but they still had so many problems to solve so they might need a lot of time and hard work.
Jonathan took a look at the clock on the wall. Already a quarter to 7, it was time to go home, Jennifer was probably waiting for him and he had done enough work for today.
He gathered his notes, pens and phone, stood up from the table and took a look around to check if everything was okay, if everything was switched off that was supposed to be switched off. Nobody else was there, just him, some blinking lights and shadows cast on the walls and floor. It was dark outside and it would be another cold winter night.
He walked towards the door to the lounge room/conference room where they had a little team breakfast every Friday morning, spent breaks, had discussions. He had a great team with very smart and talented people and everybody seemed to enjoy working with each other. You don’t find that too often.
Nobody was in this room or in the fully equipped kitchen adjacent to the lounge room. Jonathan turned off the kitchen light then the lounge room light as he left through the door.
Suddenly he saw a shadow move in the corner of his eye and he turned his head. But there was nothing. Then it happened again in another corner. He turned his head again. Nothing.
He felt chills going down his spine.
Maybe it was just his eyes playing tricks on him, it had been a long day and he was tired, yet he couldn’t shake the feeling that somebody, or something, was watching him.
But it couldn’t be. The feeling didn’t disappear until he left the lab and locked the door behind him…
