me know when I can let them out. Right?” 

“Yup,” I nodded. “Go get ‘em, tiger.” 

Maria disappeared down the hall. I grabbed a notepad and pen and walked towards Peter’s office. I looked around to make sure no one was watching me. Most everyone around me seemed to be pretty occupied with their work. I slipped through his office door and quietly closed it behind me. I debated closing the blinds, but Peter never did, so I ultimately determined that would not be a great idea. I didn’t want to draw any attention to myself, 

I looked around his desk. He had a calendar in front of his computer, but nothing was written on it. His computer screen was dark. I moved the mouse, hoping it would be unlocked. Nope, it needed a password. 

One password idea popped in my head, and I typed it in Elena123. 

“Password incorrect,” I read from the pop up on the screen. 

I began to feel a mild panic. What was I thinking? What made me think I’d be able to glean anything about him from his office? Why didn’t I come up with a better plan before I came in here? 

I looked around, but otherwise his office was pretty bare. One (locked, I quickly discovered) file cabinet sat in the corner, two chairs in front of his desk, and a bookshelf that contained all of two books. I flipped through them, but nothing stood out in them. 

My phone buzzed. I pulled it out of my blazer pocket. 

“ABORT!!” Maria had sent in all caps. 

Shit. It hadn’t been anywhere near twenty minutes yet! couldn’t leave without anything, but I was out of time. Then I heard another buzz. This time it came from Peter’s desk. I looked at the lit screen before it went dark again. 

“This is Harlow’s Bar and Lounge! Your request for a reservation for 2 for 8pm tonight has been received. Please reply Y to confirm or C to cancel.” 

Reservation for two, huh? I had a sneaking suspicion that was not for Peter and his wife. 

I slowly opened the office door and looked around. No sign of Peter yet. I breathed a sigh of relief and started to speed walk back to my desk, still looking back to make sure the coast was clear. 

“Hazel!” I heard Maria whisper loudly. I jumped and looked around. She had semi–hidden herself around the corner of the entrance to the hallway. I tip–toed over to her. 

“Maria! What happened?” 

“I’m so sorry! Someone moved the broom and I couldn’t find anything else to lock them in, then I heard them fighting..she was mad at him for leaving her so early last night to go back home to his wife…and next thing I knew they were storming out of the supply closet. I didn’t know what else to do!” Maria hung her head. 

“Oh, no, it’s okay! I found out where he and presumably Elena will be tonight.” I said. “How do about a little girl’s night out?”

Maria and I donned our best, most conspicuous outfits (scarves over our hair) and walked into Harlow’s

around 7:45 later that night. I had never been before. There was a stage in the front, where a small band was set up and playing some soft jazz. There were several small tables in front of it. The tables each had a candle and a red tablecloth and the chairs were set in a way where those sitting there faced the stage. Behind the tables was a bar.
