Chapter 14
Monday
Nathan and Lizzie both arrived at work on Monday morning only minutes before a solemn director summoned them both to join him in his office.
This must be about my leaving abruptly on Friday, she thought, and grimaced.
She walked with them both, a tense, uncomfortable silence weighing down her every step, and the director waved her and Nathan through the open door before he closed it and sat down behind his desk. Lizzie and Nathan took their seats in the director’s visitors’ chairs placed directly across from him.
“Are you all right, sir?” Lizzie asked as she took in the director’s haggard yet furious expression.
“In a word, no. The DEA’s director was waiting for me the moment I stepped off the elevator this morning. There’s been two more deaths.”
