It was like she was suddenly naked- like a defenseless city without is military outposts.
Or,
Like a prey targeted by a wild best. She couldn't seem to shake it off.
"I need to get out of here. . ." she rasped to herself; "Something's creepy going on, and I ain't the one."
Quietly, she snatched her white fur coat from the table, and stormed out of her office- feeling the croaking, taunting presence watch her from the shadows.
"Manager!" she barked as she rushed down the stairs; "Update me on the current status of the delivery boy's rounds today!"
"Uh, ma'am, there was a problem with the scheduling. . .so he couldn't make. . ."
"Never mind, I'll handle it myself."
"Ma'am?" he stuttered in surprise.
"I said I'll handle it myself. Besides, I need to talk shop with these hospitals. Their growth needs to reflect in their payments. . .I'll be out for a while. . .don't wait up."
