"Challenge: eating an entire burger in one bite."
Anika sat in front of her phone, recording her life for the camera.
As Ashley's best friend, she had grown used to slacking off at work, and her colleagues didn't dare report her.
Holding the burger in her long, slender fingers, she took a deep breath, opened wide, and stuffed the whole thing into her mouth.
"Mmph..."
She had succeeded, but the burger filled her mouth so completely that when she tried to speak, all she could manage was a series of muffled noises.
As she struggled to chew, Homelander approached from diagonally across her workstation.
Anika's eyes widened, and she scrambled to stop the recording. This wasn't something she should be doing during work hours.
"Where are those supervillains?" Homelander walked straight over and got right to the point.
Anika looked up, wanting to answer, but her mouth was too full, so she wisely chose to turn on her computer screen and show him.
"What are you doing during work hours?" Homelander frowned, feeling ignored.
Anika's heart tightened, and she hurriedly spat out the burger.
Homelander stared at the disgusting lump, his expression growing colder. Already frantic with impatience, he suddenly wanted to smash the head of the woman in front of him.
But he held himself back.
Ignoring the discomfort from having her mouth stretched open for so long, Anika hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir. According to the intelligence Translucent sent back, we've found that these people are extremely cunning and have no fixed location."
"But we can confirm that they've remained in Middleton."
Homelander listened, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.
Middleton was about eighty kilometers from New York City.
"Sir, their last known locations were here, and here..." Anika pointed to several little dots on the screen.
