“Yes, sir,” he nods.
“Shit.”
“I take it that you do not know this woman, still?” He asks placing a clear image of her on top of all the others.
“I mean, she’s vaguely familiar, but that could just be memory recognition. Is there anything else that I need to know about? Anything about her specifically?”
“She’s clean. She has no record, she comes from questionable parents, but it appears that she didn’t follow in their footprints. She has no criminal background and it would appear that you are her only husband, ever.” he smirks.
“Thank you. Are these my copies?” I ask pointing to everything that’s on the table.
“Yes sir. I included a profile to her as well, which will include contact information. Inside the folder are your whereabouts for the entire time-period that you were questioning. I spoke with employees and their statements are inside as well. I do have to say, again, that this has been a very entertaining case.”
“Yeah. Well, at least for one of us it was. Thank you though, for being so detailed with your findings as well as quick.” We both stand and shake hands.
“My pleasure. Mind if I ask, what are you going to do with all the information?”
“Marinate with it a bit before being hasty, that’s for sure.”
“Smart man. It was nice to do business with you. Should you have any additional needs, please let me know.”
I’m left alone which is exactly what I need right now.
I’m married.
I got married in Vegas!
What do I do with this information?
Chapter Five
“This one time in Vegas, my friend and I went bar hopping with a guy we met working at one of the hotels. At every bar we went to, my friend told everyone that the guy and I were newlyweds and we drank for free all night. It was even funnier because she didn't drink !”

“I would like for you to accompany me to Seattle for the conference,” Mr. Frederick said upon my entering his office.
He didn’t let me sit, didn’t ask how I was doing, or even a hello.
I’m frozen in place in the middle of his office, clutching onto the notepad and pen that I carried in here.
“Why?” I ask. I clear my throat and correct myself. “I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean to sound so spoiled right there. May I ask, why you are requesting that I go over your assistant?”
“Because she is unable to attend, she has personal obligations to tend to. Plus, I feel that it would be good to finally start adding new offices. We’ve got an amazing brand, we’re well known here in California and why not tackle the Pacific Northwest?”
“You want to open up other offices?” I ask.
“It’s been an idea that I’ve been tinkering with, yes. You are the glue of this office, and I value your input.”
“Sir, I’m the office manager. I order pens and keep everyone happy.” I point out.
“Is there anything that would create an issue with you joining me on this trip? It will be Wednesday and Thursday, traveling back Friday morning and you can have Friday off?” He says ignoring my protest.
“Trying to sweeten the deal?” I smirk.
“Maybe,” he smiles.
“Fine, I’ll cancel my kickboxing class.”
