“Are any of the lower staff aware of this?” he asked.
“Just you,” I replied. “Do you think I should tell them?”
“Well, amnesia is a serious issue, and it may affect his work here,” he said.
“I don’t think he will be working here once this is over,” I informed him. “Once he takes over his company, there wouldn’t be anything tying him to the Pack.”
“Except one person,” he said. “You.”
I could feel my cheeks heat up at the remark.
“Well, I guess so,” I replied.
“Are his memories of the present okay?” he asked. “Some cases have people forgetting the new memories.”
“Well, he did mention something about his memories clashing,” I replied. “But he has a drug for that. I think he’ll be fine.”
“Well, if that’s what you say,” he shrugged. “I’ll be out. We have deadlines to beat, so try to stay sharp okay?”
“Yes, sir,” I saluted. He shook his head and left the office.
I picked up my phone and tried dialing Nick, but I couldn’t get a hold of him.
Not wanting to be distracted, I tossed the phone into my drawer and tried to focus on the matters at hand.
There was a folder I needed. Rather than calling Allison, I stretched my legs and got it myself.
I got to the front desk, and Allison was clicking away on her system.
“Financial reports for the month?” she asked without looking away from the system.
“Yes, that,” I replied.
She pointed to a folder on her table. I picked it up and thanked her. I was about to leave when I heard the door open.
Nick came in. There was a band-aid on his head.
“Hey, I’m back,” he said.
“What the––” Allison said.
I dropped the folder and ran to him, “What happened?”
I touched the band-aid, and he winced.
“It still hurts,” he said. “I ran into a little trouble on my way back.”
“Didn’t you meet with Aisha and Matilda?” I asked.
“I met with Matilda but not Aisha,” he replied.
“What, why?” I asked.
“Pardon me, boss, maybe you could interrogate the injured suspectinyour office,” Allison said as she picked up the folder.
I remembered that he had an injury, “I’m sorry, babe, let’s go to my office.”
“Okay, thanks Allison,” he said.
