- 21 - On Monday morning at 6:50 a.m., I was in the office. I had returned to NYC the night before. I figured I’d reach work before the others and settle in before the day began. “Hope you meditated this morning,” Crystal, Rohan’s assistant, whispered. I stared blankly at Crystal’s red hair since her glasses were too thick and I could never tell where she was looking. “Yes, I did. But why do you ask?” I was surprised to see Crystal in the office this early. “Dracula is here.” Crystal put her right index finger on her glasses to press them back to her face. “Michael Hedick? Already?” I looked at my watch. He’d set up the meeting for 7 a.m., but I didn’t think he’d be in the office until 7:45. That’s what happened when he visited our Delhi office. He was habitually 45-50 minutes late. B
