Gia left home early once again the following day. She carried with her a picnic basket full of home cooked meals making Clarissa suspicious that she followed Gia at a distance. Gia arrived at NPID and got off her car cautiously. She looked left then right and walked into the building. Arriving at Michael’s office, Gia knocked on his door and he summoned her in softly. “Gia!” Michael chirped when he raised his head and saw her. Immediately, he stood up and went to receive her with a hug and helped her carry the picnic basket putting it on the table. “You really came.” Michael was elated. “I suppose you thought I would not show up, but I am a lady of my word.” Gia replied as she took a seat. She looked at the papers on the table and noticed that Michael was still investigation her case.
