Episode 7

A fter Monica left the office, she hurried down to the parking garage where her car was parked. As she searched in her purse for her car keys, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to lock the files where confidential reports were kept. She knew that if her boss Mr. Henry found out that she had not locked the files, she could be fired. She tuned and hurried back inside, waited impatiently for the elevator and was glad that the trip to the seventh floor went without delay. As she hurried down and out of the dimly lit hall, toward the offices of the Henry Company, she noticed that there was a light in Mr. Henry office. “Strange”, she thought to herself, “ I’m sure I turned all the lights out”. Then she saw it: a man’s shadow fell briefly across the glass of the door of the office and the lights went out. “Oh, no”, she murmered to herself, her heat rising in her throat: “It must be a thief. What shall I do?”
