I searched the closet for so suitable to wear and threw on a dark dress suit before pullingout on the bed, I chose large teal earrings and a chunky necklace Designing jewelry was my passion and I wanted to wear pieces that would show off lanced in theI’d left o back inside for it I locked the door again and made it halfway down the hall before I remembered I’d left the address on the table

"I’ll take the first option" He cackled and I felt my face flush

"Not really up for consideration" I hurried past hi the leer he directed at me

"Then don’t offer!" He slae to shoot him the bird Gru was any indication of how this intervieould go, I was already screwed six ways to Sunday By the tie, I was a coain and I could hear it pounding away outside Driving would be a nightmare and I was already nervous about the interview

"It was an accident!" I i thatto stand back up "You have to help hi knew they’d sent someone else" A hand pushed ainst the trunk "Who sent you?" The voice sounded fa !" I hollered and tried to wiggle away Fear o!"

"He’s not dying He’s dead" His free hand slid down the outside ofalong my panties "How did he know about the bomb?"

"Hey! Fuck off, pervert!" I stepped back, e, but he didn’t budge If this was a cop, he’d just crossed ain and he just grunted

"Who do you work for?" He leaned close, his body pressing into ed throughto trace the underwire of ers "Where’s your weapon?"
