After talking with Dylan for a bit, I walk up to the receptionist.

"Hey, um, do you know where Mr. Maxwell Carter currently is?" I ask.

"He should be in his office."

"Ok. Thanks for the help." I give the lady a smile and then walk away starting to head towards the elevator.

Once there, I hit a button and the elevator door opens. I walk inside and then hit the button that says F9. Almost immediately, the elevator goes up. Soft music begins to play. I don't really like this type of music so it's easy not to get lost in it. Then the elevator dings.

Well that didn't take long...

I walk out of the elevator and make a quick right. Right ahead of me is Mr. Carter's office. As I'm about to knock on the door, it opens. Mr Carter was in his office just like the receptionist said. 

"Hello, Ms. Kagame. Was there something you wanted?" He asks

"Yes, um, do you know where the case files for the Zodiac case are?" 

"Oh they're in my office. I'll go get them for you." He goes back into his office and searches his file cabinet.

"Thanks Mr. Carter... And please... can I just call you Max?"

"Ms. Kagame we have to address each other appropriately in the workplace." He closes the file cabinet. He must have found it. "Now, here's the files you wanted."

"Thanks..." I walk off.

Max or Mr. Carter and I are friends. We don't really act like it at work though. He treats me the exact same way as everyone else even if he doesn't like them much. I don't expect him to though. There's no need to show favoritism. Plus, he's most likely just being professional. You know addressing your peers with Mr, Ms, or Mrs... Stuff like that... I just wish that he'd relax sometimes...

I ride the elevator down and then finally exit the building files in hand.
