Stolen

The Meetings

Alexis Adams walked hurriedly down to 15th Avenue. She was late for her meeting with Jonathan Stibile. He was her partner in crime solving. They had a meeting at 11 with the witness Jessica Summer. She finally approached the apartment and rang in to office 13. Johanna answered on the outdoor intercom " I would get in there quick. Your 9 minutes late."

"My bus was late!" She whined.

"No matter. Get inside, quick!" Johanna opened the door and Alexis knew because of the of the buzzing. She climbed up the three flights of stairs clutching her messenger bag. Her brown long hair flowing behind her. As Alexis approached a door that said 'Suit 13' she ran in. Past the secretary Johanna and into Jonathan's office.

"You're late." A cold voice said.

"Hey, my bus was late and we work together on this. You can't always be the boss." Alexis replied courageously. Jonathan just rolled his eyes.

" She'll be here in 30mins so let's prepare the the questions."

"Ok fine." Alexis said.

Jessica's POV

I nervously walked up the steps to the third floor. I saw Suit 13 and remembered that was the office I was expected at. I looked through the door and the secretary waved at me to come in.

"Hi, how can I help you?" She asked.

"Um, I have a meeting with Mr. Stibile and Miss Adams about the stolen spy car." I said. I think it came out more like a question then a statement.

"Oh yes! Jessica? They're expecting you. First door on the left."

"Thank you!"

I tiptoed out of the lobby area and turned to a hallway on my right. I walked over and turned to face the first door on the left. It read 'Stibile' on the door in white cursive on a copper plaque. Other doors down the hall had similar plaques except they had different names like 'Camburn' , 'Covey' and 'Romanic'. She regained focus on the door in front of her and knocked. A female voice called 'Come in.". Jessica knew she had been at the wrong place at the wrong time.
