breaking news: “This is truly a tragic event as the local Bahamian authorities are now investigating the mysterious murder of an African-American female tourist, who was in the country visiting to whom we believe to be a senior executive from the Bluefield Marketing Group; Which is one of America’s top marketing corporations visiting the Bahamas as part of a International Marketing initiative that has been taking place there for the last few months...there is no word on whether this senior executive is involved with the death of this young woman; whose name has not been identified as of yet.” “We have not received any statements from the Corporation at this time and so far according to Police, there are no leads other than their request to converse with the alleged senior executive who at this time is a person of interest and not a suspect...”
Marc was totally upset now after watching the criminal investigation unfolding in the Caribbean. He knew he needed to speak with India and he had to do it with quickness. As he was racing out of the break room, Ursula was coming in. He looked at her as she gave him a discomfit expression as she tried to walk around him. He stopped her by pulling slightly on her arm as he said, “Ursula...we need to talk!”
She frowned as she responded, “Look Marc about last night, I was just trying...”
He quickly interrupted, “I’m not talking about last night...we need to talk about India!”
She looked at him amazed as she replied, “INDIA...I mean India...what about her?” “Wait...let’s go somewhere private.”
They left the break room, walked down the hall, and entered a private conference room, shutting the door.
He looked at her as if she was crazy as he responded, “Haven’t you seen the latest news broadcast on CNN...there’s been a murder in the Bahamas that involves some senior executive that’s down there from this company with India...do you have any idea who that guy is?”
Ursula looked at Marc dumbfounded as she replied, “No but I’ve heard that this particular guy has been causing problems for India since she’s been on that assignment...wait is India alright?” “Have you spoken with her?”
He sighed as he replied, “I’ve tried to call her but she’s not answering and I’m getting worried.” The reporter said that the woman who was murdered was a tourist who indicates that it’s not India, but they didn’t release any names yet so we still need to find out!” “First this bull about her embezzling funds from the corporation, now this!”
She stopped as she realized what he just said. She looked at him as she responded, “What did you say...how did you find out about...wait a minute you went searching in my attaché case last night didn’t you?”
He gazed at her with a ridiculous expression as he replied, “What difference does it make...we need to find out if India is alright...then we need to find out who’s really responsible for this embezzlement scam!”
Ursula sighed as she replied, “Marc...I assure you she’s the one who been stealing from the corporation!”
Marc glared at her with disbelief as he responded, “What...listen to what you’re saying Ursula about your best friend...what motives would she have for doing such a thing?” “She was already well on her way and didn’t need to take nothing to get what she deserved.”
Ursula for the first time in Marc’s eyes looked as if she was jealous of India. It was as if she wanted to believe that she was corrupt. He gazed into her baby blue eyes as he responded, “So you think that she did this...what proof do you have that she’s guilty Ursula...why do you have that makes this...your friend guilty?”
She smiled as she replied, “The packet...that’s right...the packet!”
He laughed as he responded, “The packet...the one that was sent here?” “Have you checked the reliability of the source that sent it?” “How do you know what was in the packet is legit?”
She looked at him dumbfounded as she replied, “I...I don’t know but...!”
He quickly interrupted her, “See...that’s why we need to investigate this before we go accusing people...to really find out what’s going on!” “We have to clear India before it’s too late!”
Ursula sighed as she responded, “Why do we always have to help her?” “It’s always about India, India, INDIA!”
Marc looked down at her as he replied, “Look...I don’t know what it is that wrong with you, but we owe it to her to help her so snap out of this Ursula!”
She looked down
