Wrong Place – Wrong Time

I wish I had been somewhere else the night of the execution style murder. It was just one of those “wrong place – wrong time” scenarios. I recognized the high-profile person exiting the lift as I got in but had no idea of the consequences of that brief encounter.
I brewed coffee and sat down with my laptop … there was a new email notification.

Challenge
Each day, I post a word for the following day. Your challenge is to write a drabble (a story of exactly 100 words) in which the day’s random word features.
