As usual, it seems like Cullen is always the latest to arrive. Which is often not uncommon, considering where he's chosen to make his office and how often he gets bogged down on reports. Today, it was business as usual, and when he finally makes his way down the stairs from the battlements he gets stopped no less than three times while on his way to the War Room. Clearly no one understood the meaning of urgent.

He's quick up the stairs and into the hall, whispers of shouting coming to his ears. He's not often one to listen to rumors, so they're taken with a grain of salt and he's off into the hallway that leads to the War Room.

He's usually greeted with a closed door and the rest of the ladies talking among themselves when he arrives, but this scene is something else entirely. The air is so thick with tension someone could cut it with a knife and he doesn't even know what's going on yet. "Apparently I've missed something," he says finally.
