“This is a good idea,” Abby told herself in the rearview mirror as she pulled into the parking structure at Platinum Security. “I was just in the area.” Which was true.

With the Shaws back on their vacation, Abby had more free time than she knew what to do with. So when her mother had asked her to swing by the caterer to confirm the menu for their Christmas party, Abby hadn’t thought too much about stopping by the building she had looked up last weekend.

When Dylan had told her his company’s name, she had been curious. Anyone would be. And since she was in the area, it seemed rude not to stop by and say hello to him, perhaps catch him for a lunch date.

But as she stepped out of her car onto the roof of the parking garage, she eyed the towering structure with growing unease. Modern in its design, clean lines and gleaming glass dominated the ten-story building.

Considering its size, it was likely that their company only took up one of the floors and not the entire building, but it was still intimidating.

Dylan, while it was obvious that he enjoyed money, seemed down to earth and not like someone that spent his days in an executive high-rise.

Taking a deep breath, her chin notching up, she walked across the sky bridge into the bitingly cool building.

Spying a directory, she found that Platinum Security was located on the tenth floor. The penthouse.

Obviously, the company wasn’t hurting for clients.

Her low-slung heels tapped on the large marble tiles in the hallway, announcing her presence to anyone nearby. The interior of the building reminded her of a bank. Large, open areas, shiny marble, classical décor, and bright lights. It wasn’t a place where she felt at ease, but it felt familiar enough to not throw her into a full out panic.

Is it weird that I’m dropping by? she asked herself for the twentieth time. She hadn’t thought so at the time. It seemed friendly, comfortable. But as she reached the large oak doors that led into Platinum Security, she wasn’t sure if she had made the right choice.

Pushing open the doors, she was surprised to find herself in an office decorated much as the building was, but with added warmth. It looked wealthy, even smelled expensive.

The lobby was furnished with sumptuous couches of heavily studded, butter-soft leather. Instead of a gleaming crystal chandelier, she was enchanted by the large, wrought-iron-framed fixture which teemed with small amber crystals, mimicking flames. Marble still abounded in here, the neutral tones soothed, but she felt more. Felt a comfortable power.

No wonder they were so successful. Any customer wanting security would instantly know that this was a company that could handle any situation.

“May I help you?” The young receptionist smiled politely.

“Yes. Well, maybe. I’m here to see Dylan Thane.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“No. I’m a friend of his. I was just dropping by.”

“Let me see if he’s available.” She gestured to the sofas. “Please, take a seat. Would you like a cup of coffee while you wait?”

“No.
