Chapter Seven

Nathaniel blinked his eyes open and smiled slightly to see Lillian still passed out on the pillow beside him. He was getting ready to lean over, possibly to tickle her awake, when his phone started going off. Nathaniel did a quick scan of his bedroom, eventually visually locating the phone on his dresser across the room. He stood and hurried over to it, swiping it up promptly and holding the device to his ear. “You have Nathaniel Lynch,” he said, not having recognized the phone number.

“Mr. Lynch!” a familiar and frantic voice rung out on the other line.

“Who is this?” he asked.

“Maggie, this is Maggie,” the woman said; Maggie was the head honcho Nathaniel had hired to run the homeless shelter back in Troy.

“Maggie?” he questioned, unsure as to why she would possibly be calling him. He hadn’t even been aware that she had his private number.

“Mr. Lynch, I cannot believe what is happening!” she shrieked. “They told me the order came directly from Lynch Industries CEO, but that can’t possibly be true.”

“What are you talking about?” Nathaniel asked. “Calm down and tell me what is going on.”

“Some men with paperwork showed up and told me to kick everyone out of the shelter and to empty out the building. They said it’s scheduled for demolition in three days!”

“That’s ridiculous!” Nathaniel snapped. “Tell those men to leave you the hell alone and to call me. I’m going to the office, and I’ll let you know when I figure out what the hell is going on.”

“Thank you so much, Mr. Lynch,” she said.

“I’ll call you later,” he said and hung up the phone, spinning around to see that Lillian was now awake and sitting up in bed –looking at him with a curious look on her face.

“What’s going on with the shelter?” she questioned.

“I’m not sure. Maggie just called me and was saying that some guys showed up telling her that the place is scheduled for demolition.” Nathaniel could see the alarming look resonate across her face. “Don’t worry. I’m going to handle it. I’m heading up to the office now to figure out what is going on. I’m sure it was just some sort of mix-up.”

“Do you want me to come with you?” she asked, already throwing her feet over the side of the bed.

“No, you stay here,” he said with a hand wave. “I’ll handle this.”

“If you say so,” she said unenthusiastically.

He finished getting dressed, gave her a kiss goodbye, and promised to be back soon on his way out the door. He took his car straight to Lynch Industries, eager to figure out what had taken place. He had not ordered any sort of demolition –surely, he assumed, this was some sort of mistake. He headed up to the top floor to locate Adam’s assistant, Katie, assuming she would probably be able to solve this mix-up. Knowing Katie, she was probably already aware of the problem and was working on fixing it anyways.

When he entered the hall on the second to highest floor where her desk was, he saw an almost frightened look cross her face.
