I woke up to my alarm blaring. I slam my fist down and jump out of bed. I get dressed in an intern appropriate outfit including a tight black pencil skirt and a pearl white blouse. And head out to the kitchen. I see Aiden already ready to go. "Your up early Aiden." I say. He turns around quickly. He smiles happily. "Did you forget? Today's mother's day!" he says excitedly. My face pales and I turn to look at the calendar. It was circled in big red marker.
"It would seem that I did forget." I say sheepishly. He shakes his head. "You should take the day off." he says. I know I couldn't take the day off. I had a job to do. "Your right, I should, I'll text Tom right now and tell him I won't come in. But I'm still walking you to school. Maybe we can go out to dinner today." I suggest.
His face lights up. He nods his head. No matter what I'll take care of him. I hate him having to worry about our money. He's a very smart kid. He always knows.
Once he's finished with breakfast we leave for school. Once again I walk him directly to class. We get the same stares every day but were used to it.
I wave good bye and head back home. It was currently 8:47. I still had about ten minutes till that person will show up.
Ten minutes pass and at exactly 9 am. I hear a knock on my door. I take a deep breath and open the door calmly.
"Are you Audra. If so please change into these and follow me. I will wait outside for five minutes. If your not here I'm leaving." the person says. I nod my head and take the clothes. I quickly change into them and open the door. "Good, now follow me." I do what he says and follow him. "You will wear this ear piece, I will talk to you and instruct you through the instructions. To get into the building you'll wear this lanyard with a key card that opens every door in the building." he looks back at me and hands me the items.
I put them on and continue to listen and follow. "Once inside go all the way up to the top floor. show the guard the key card and go into the guys office. He takes a two hour lunch break every day. From ten till twelve. During the time you get there take pictures of the office with this camera. And while your doing that copy everything on the man's computer into this chip. Once you plug it in its special design will automatically copy everything the device has including concealed information. This will take about thirty minutes. That is all I ask of you. I also would like you to rummage through his drawers if you find anything that either looks suspicious or could be a mechanical device of sorts take it and put it in this bag. Any questions." He says turning around. He hands me the rest of the gear and I shake my head no.
"Good where here, wait untill it's 10:10 before you go up to his office. Untill then wander around the office. If people ask for coffee or doughnuts or whatever tell me and I'll get someone else to do it. They'll hand you the items and you just gotta bring it to them. Ok good luck you'll get paid once I have the info I need." He says.
He gives me a thumbs up and nudges me inside. "Testing, testing. Nod your head if you can hear me." I nod my head. I hear nothing after that.
I do what he tells me and I wander around the office. I make it look like I belong. "Excuse me. But I don't seem to recognize you. Who are you?" I hear someone say behind me. "Oh, I'm a new intern. I'm just walking around trying to familiarize myself with the building. That way I can move more proficiently. Is there something you need." I answer. He shakes his head no and moves away.
I let out a breath and continue moving around.
I still had to wait 4 more minutes before I could go up to the top floor.
Finally, the time had come. I get in the elevator and ride it up to the top floor. Once I get out I see a ton of people. I notice a guard just like that guy said and I show him the key card.
He nods and lets me pass. "Ok, so his office is the largest one. It's in the back and instead of the others it has blinds on the windows." I nod my head and go to the back.
I find the guys office and slide the key card in the door.....
