The Accident (Part 15)
A Story in Pieces
The Underground… Mid-afternoon…
Several hours after their phone conversation, Wendy walks back into the office. Veronica is busy typing away on her computer.
“Hey, Veronica, have you had any luck getting into The Conservatory computers?”
Looking up from the computer, Veronica says, “Nothing yet. This system is super protected and a pain in my ass. What the Hell could they be hiding in there that this much protection is needed?”
“Well, you’ve never met Mr. Felix face to face. If you did, then you would understand. The man isn’t exactly what one would call a model citizen.” Wendy responds.
“From how I’ve heard you talk about him, I’m glad I have never met the man in person. He seems like some sort of drug lord or mafioso.”
“You’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head there, Veronica. He’s creepy is what he is. If you ask him, Mr. Felix will tell you he’s his own, self-made King Pin.” Wendy says without looking directly at Veronica.
