Episode 7
346 Words
It was almost 7pm, I kept checking the time again and again after Gabby left, I was waiting for her to go a bit far before I could move to the cafe to meet Sam.
When it was 6:30 and I was certain that Gabby must have gone far, I took my bag and headed off to the coffee shop, the atmosphere was eerie, I was already used to that but somehow remembering the note Sam sent made my heart beat faster and faster.
I got there and Sam was there sitting down, he looked worried and lost in thought which made my heart beat even faster.
"Sam, what's wrong?"
"Thank goodness you came Claire" he said as soon as he saw me
"Sit down"
"You're making me worried Sam, what's going on" I asked while sitting down
"I think we're in danger"
"What do you mean 'we' "
"Both of us including....
" Including who"
" Gabby" he said with a pale worried look on his face
" What do you mean, Gabby, she doesn't know a thing about our work"
" I also thought the same but my friend from the company informed me yesterday that we shouldn't come to work unless it would be our last"
" Why?, what did we do wrong?"
" Firstly, the boss thinks we told Gabby about our work because we hang out with her a lot, she sent people to investigate"
"But she doesn't know a thing, we didn't tell her anything, we have to tell the boss"
"Now listen Claire, the worse problem is that the boss believes you didn't kill Mr Maxwell"
My heart skipped a beat when he said that, it was true I didn't kill Maxwell but it was between I and Mr Maxwell, no one else knew about it
" So now I'll need you to answer me honestly Claire, did you kill Mr Maxwell as instructed or not"
" Kill who? " Someone said from behind, we turned around and it was Gabby
" What the f***" we said in unison
