Chapter 60

• FLASHBACK:
• Judy sat in her office staring directly at Gideon's office. What was Roderick telling him? She wondered as she strained her eyes to look further than it could see. She hated Gideon's appearance lately and there was nothing she could do about it. The atmosphere at work was clouded with grief and sorrow. The people seemed moody and were careful with their laughter and jokes. Ryan was dead and Emma had vanished. Gideon was at the early stage of his grief and his terrible state had spread amongst the staff inflicting them like an infectious disease. Suddenly, Judy's phone began to ring. She looked around mischievously, grabbed her phone and hurried to the reception.
• "What are you saying?" Judy screamed over the phone. She was standing in the reception. "We can't meet in the office." she said. "It is too risky. " she added. She lowered her tune then entered a vacant corner by the reception. "You know what? " she suggested to the person she was having the conversation with on the phone. "Why don't we meet in our usual spot instead. " she said. "I'll be there at exactly 6pm she told the caller while nodding. She then walked out of the corner. She looked around as if she was scared of people eavesdropping but the people were entering and exiting the building doing their thing. No one heard her she thought then heaved a deep sigh and made her way to her office.
