Chapter 10

Ben looked at his boss with consternation. There were dark circles under her eyes, and she clung to her coffee mug as though her life depended upon it, staring vacantly into space.

“Hey Ms. G.,” the concerned young man began. “If you want to take a few hours to go home and sleep or something, I can handle things here,” he offered, somewhat alarmed when she didn’t respond.

“Ms. G.?” he prompted, a bit louder this time, causing Missy to come out of her reverie a bit.

“I’m sorry Ben,” she ran a weary hand over her forehead. “Did you say something?”

He had never seen her so exhausted. His boss was a woman of action, when something was bothering her, she figured out a way to solve the problem, that’s just who she was. Seeing her like this was making him gravely concerned for her health and well-being.

“I just…I said that I think you should go home and sleep and I’ll take care of things here,” he urged. Missy smiled at her kind-hearted assistant.

“Thanks for the offer Ben, but I’m not having much luck sleeping at home lately. Ever since I found out that someone had been in there, I’ve felt…I don’t know…watched…violated. My personal space was invaded. They scared my baby girl,” her voice broke a bit when she thought about how scared Toffee had been.

“Well, I understand how that could happen, but…isn’t there someone who would let you crash on their couch for a bit or something?” he tried desperately to think of solutions that would help this poor, suffering woman.

“It’s okay, Ben, really. It doesn’t matter where I am or who I’m with these days, I’m not going to be able to rest until I get some answers. Someone is trying to send me a message and eventually we’ll find out what it all means,” she sighed, dropping her head down on her arms in exhaustion. “I really feel safest when I’m here,” she mumbled. Ben awkwardly patted her on the arm in his innocent attempt to comfort her, and heard her snore softly.

“Well, at least she’ll finally be getting some sleep,” he remarked to himself, going back to his tasks.
