The folder unfolded like a digital puzzle box. Inside, he found what he was looking for, but at the bottom was a file named SECRET_TRACK.mp3 . He hit play. The music that filled his headphones didn't sound like a normal song; it was a rhythmic, haunting frequency that seemed to vibrate his very desk.
