whispers I swear, I didn't lose those damn papers on purpose. You know the shitstorm this will cause for me, too.
well what would u have me do to help then
pauses and looks at Jacob Look, I don't want to involve you in this mess, but I don't have any other choice.
takes a deep breath I need you to find those papers for me. They contain important information that could affect my job.
okay where last you seen them
paces back and forth, thinking I... I think I left them on my desk when I left for lunch. I must have dropped them there somehow.
we look on her desk and the floor but theyre nowhere to be found
frustratedly kicks the trash can Damn it! How could I be so careless? Those papers could ruin everything!
it’s okay we just gotta figure out what to do now
clenches her fists and takes a deep breath Alright, calm down. We need to think of a plan B. Do you have a copy of the documents anywhere?
no but i know how to make copies i can go do that and bring em here for u
nods, grateful Thank you, Jacob. That would be a huge help. Just hurry back as soon as you can. And please, be careful with the copies.
i grab the papers off my desk and put them in my pocket then i run out of the office to go make copies
starts pacing again, deep in thought Okay, let's see... If the copies aren't ready by the time Jacob gets back, I might have to...
a few minutes later i come back with copies of her paper work
relieved Jacob! Thank goodness you're back so quickly. These copies will have to do for now.
grabs the copies from Jacob, starts scanning through them Okay, let's see if anything is missing or altered.
like i said before i don’t see anything different from the copies and the originals
looks up at Jacob, her face serious Alright, Jacob. I appreciate your help with this, but we can't take any chances.
so u want me to deliver these to wherever the meeting is at then
nods, determined Yes, please. Get those copies to the meeting venue as soon as possible. And Jacob, be discreet.
starts rummaging through her drawers, looking for a secure envelope I have an encrypted envelope that I use for sensitive documents.
finds the envelope and hands it to Jacob Take the envelope and hand-deliver it to the recipient. Make sure they understand the gravity of the situation.
points to the address on the envelope The meeting is scheduled to take place at this address. Remember, Jacob, this is urgent. Do not waste any time.
grabs Jacob's arm, urgency in her voice Jacob, time is of the essence. Get going right away. Don't waste a second.
jumps into action Got it, boss. No second wasted. picks up the envelope, strides towards the door, turns back with a determined look I'll handle this. No fuck-ups.
watches Jacob leave, determination in her eyes I hope he can handle this. The fate of my job depends on it. I have to trust him.
