It was now after five on a Friday and the office was deserted with everyone taking advantage of the new summer hours. He wasn’t working on anything pressing and didn’t look forward to going home to his own quiet condo. He found Mia’s number and hit the send button, listening intently to the ringing.

Hello?” Nate was startled at the young, high-pitched voice that came through the line. For a second, he thought he had dialed the wro...
