Chapter Nine

Lindsey

“Sure, just put it on the counter, I’ll grab it later.” I yelled out the door to our new temporary employee. “Have a good evening and just lock the front door when you leave. I’ll be in here working.”

Having so much to do and Kitt multi-tasking with the company and her personal life, hiring a temp really helped me dedicate more time to the cases instead of putting away office supplies and filing paperwork when Kitt wasn’t available. Even when we were on the ball, with the influx of new clients because of all the press, we would still be in the office late. Except the one thing that distracted me the most was Graham and his case.

“Graham,” I whispered to myself, still shocked that he unexpectedly showed on my doorstep when I never thought I’d see him ever again. The man stole my heart, built dreams in my mind for the future, was my best friend and then took all of it away without an explanation.

Picking up the manila envelope from his company, I pulled the papers out and put them on the desk. My mind kept drifting back to our lunch, getting lost in the smile I missed so much and the way he pushed around broccoli to avoid eating it. The only thing missing was the hot sessions we used to have at my old apartment before he hurried back to his meetings. Those were still the best moments of my life.

It was a period in my life where I was doing well at work, had a wonderful man in my life and everything was practically perfect. Then again, if he hadn’t split unexpectedly, I would have never thrown myself into my work nor started my practice with Kitt. Maybe his disappearance was a blessing in disguise. I don’t know but a part of me is anxious to find out.

Shaking my head, I pulled up the first page, outlining the documents enclosed. I read them off, checking the sheet to my left where I had listed everything I would need to help Graham. “List of company associations, employee list, previous employees in past ten years, contractors, vendors, check.”

Looking through the list of employees from the last ten years was shocking, not because it was bad, but because it was so small and most of the positions were entry level, which always had a higher turnover rate. More often than not, his employees were treated wonderfully.

I rubbed my face with indecision; I had to remind myself that I needed to stay impartial. If anything, I should have been leaning the other way. After all, he disappeared from my life and he seemed to be all in one piece and not chopped up in a ditch somewhere.

That’s better stay non-partial with a bit of cynicism.

I went back to the paperwork, sorting it out and creating lists to organize the process better. Bringing up the background check system on my desktop, I began compiling data on everyone on Graham’s list.
