“Katia, wait!” She turned back around. “Where does she work? I need to start from the beginning.”
She rattled off an address and a company name.
I spun and ran for my car, Bobo right next to me.
“Orders, sir?”
“Get me there as fast as possible.”
“Yes, sir.” We both jumped through our own doors at the same time.
I called Keith from the car and filled him in.
I expected the trip to take longer, but BoBo, whether he would admit it or not, was worried about Fiona.
He pulled up to the side of the building and I jumped out. I knew he would join me as soon as the car was parked properly.
I rudely shoved my way through the elevator queue and pushed in through the doors.
“Sir, we do not act so rashly here.”
I glanced at one of the many men in suits. Pushing back the urge to curse him out or just slug him - Fiona would have been upset with me since this might be a co-worker - I kept my composure.
“Normally, I wouldn’t, but this is an emergency.”
He huffed and lifted his head to look at the numbers as they passed by. I swear it took ages to reach the 14th floor. The man grumbled again when the doors opened, and I pushed my way through.
I stalled at the front desk. I looked at the company name long enough to register the cyber security portion, everything else didn’t matter. The receptionist was on the phone, and every time I tried to get her attention, she lifted a finger. I chose to ignore the fact that the elevator man literally stood in the hall watching me curiously.
“Screw this.” I mumbled, walking around the desk.
The woman finally hung up the phone in a hurry, trying to chase after me. “Sir, sir, you can’t just walk back here like this.”
I stopped again, looking around for some sign to direct me. The room was too wide, and there were too many cubicles in the middle. I didn’t have time for this. Fiona didn’t have time for this.
“Linda!” I shouted. The room froze as the receptionist caught up to me.
“Sir…”
