"Lizzy" I called her

She did not bulge

"Bestie, is there anything you want to tell me"

"I can handle it, just tell me. I will not judge"

I persuade her to talk to me

She just turned with a weak expression

"I had a hectic day today and still have something hectic to face tomorrow"

"Can I sleep now'

I hugged her

"Its going to be alright" I assured her

"Let's sleep"

She nods like a child and went to bed

I switched off the light and laid down beside her

***********************
I woke up with a start, looked at the bedside clock

"7:30am

"OMG, am late for work"

I tapped Lizzy

She just turned around sleepily, murmured something and slept off again 

I left her there and tried to prepare fast before 8:30 

I dressed up cutely and smiled satisfied at my image

Lizzy is still sleeping, I covered her with wrapper

Wrote down my whereabouts on a paper and dropped it on the table

I took my bag and stepped out

I was about to enter my car when a message from Austin entered

"Remember our date tonight and remember to dress sharp, #winks#

I laughed  "this guy is just something else"

I entered my car and zoomed off

On my way I couldn't stop thinking of Lizzy's recent behavior

I have to text Frank, we probably need to talk more

******************
"Wheeewww" I murmured in surprise

There stood my supervisor in the hall

I have to sneak in to avoid being queried 

I have never been late for work before, I hate being queried

I walked in quietly and thankfully she did not see me

I sighed in relief and settled in for work

My table is just full

There are many files to work on which my boss will be needing in a few minutes

I have to be fast

**********
My phone light beamed, I slid it open and read the message

It is from Frank and I saved it with F

The secret number with which I communicate and work with him"

"You have to be at Cruz Records by 12 noon"

"Cruz records I asked myself

"12 noon, I can't make it but why Cruz records" I replied back immediately

"Its something I can't tell you on the phone. Just be there"

"Tell me already, what is it"

"You asked me to search about Tracy Bliz, the answer will be there

. But please remember our code don't blow off my cover"

"Yea I remember asking you that, but why Cruz records"

I waited for a response but none came

I sighed and dropped my phone

Typical of Frank he always gives me half info and allows me to crack the rest

Well he never fail me, he is current in anything since we started working together

"Cruz records, here I come" I said in resignation and faced me work

I glanced up and looked at the clock

"10:07"

"OMG, this clock is not moving at all"

It seems slow since am waiting for 12:00, am just impatient I guess

I picked my phone and set the alarm to 11:30

Perfect

**********""
My intercom buzzed 

I know who that might be

My boss, he wants the file

I gathered all the files he might need and walked smartly to his office as a dutiful secretary

Huh, I don't want his rant again and I have to get his permission to leave by twelve

I knocked on his door before walking in

"Where are the files" he asks with his strict face with his eyeglasses resting well on the very large nose

Ever wonder when this man will actually smile

"Here they are sir" I said and dropped it on the table

He stretched his fat hand and collected them

He glanced through them, selected the ones he needs and stood up

"I have somewhere to go, arrange my office and lock it"

"Won't be back till tomorrow morning, you have the day off" he says and walks out of the office as the big boss he is

"Oh sweet Jesus, there is no order sweeter than this"

I rushed the arrangement and locked it

I have to be at Cruz records on time. Whatever it is I have to face it

Just curious

************

Who is with me on this????
Seems Chioma and Frank are paddies
Well let's go to Cruz and see
On my way..........
