Chapter One
She entered slowly the building and made her way to the eleventh floor. She , like always , had a bored and irritated expression on her face as she opened the door to the meeting room.
"You brought the report?" a middle aged man asked her when she took a sit on the other side of the room. She frowned at his question and threw a bunch of papers in front of the other man who was sitting in the room.
"One-Hundred-twenty pages"
The man who made the question looked at her skeptically. She smirked.
"What Peterson? You thought I wouldn't make it?"
"I never told so"
For a minute or so everyone sat in silence. Then Ronald Peterson spoke again.
"So let me introduce you the man for who you were working for the past weeks." He gestured towards the man "Samantha ,this is Michel Fleck. Mr. Fleck this is Samantha Puckett." The said man stood up to shake the girls' hand. Peterson looked at him and gave him a 'sorry look'
"She's not 'that' social , but turning back to your work Samantha , what did you found about Fredward Benson?"
Ronald Peterson was the owner of the security company called , ACTA. To most people he looked like the stereotypical local boss from a gangster movie but he was a very talented man who managed to transform a pitiful little company to a big business with millions of dollars as income every year.
The operations were divided among three main areas : security consultations , which consisted of identifying conceivable or imagined threats ; counter – measures , which usually involved the installation of security cameras , burglar and fire alarms , electronic locking mechanism and IT systems ; and personal protection for private individuals or companies.
But there was one last area which was in the shadow of the other ,that occupied only a few employees. Its' name was P.I which stood for Person Investigation. This area was the most demanding of all and the most troublesome as Peterson had to hire only the most capable and trustworthy people. Most of the employees of the area were investigating things for people who had small doubts about their marriage , family overall or blackmailing. Sam Puckett was hired as a Personal Investigator about four year ago. In the eyes of Ronald Peterson she was the most able investigator he had met in all of his years in this business. On the contrary with her messy character and life her reports were classy and neat. Ronald was sure that she possessed a unique gift. She had a great imagination that fascinated him a lot. Her ability of finding so much information about someone , for him was pure magic. Somehow she had the talent to get under the skin of the person she was investigating.
Her reports were so careful and many times a catastrophe for the people she was investigating. She might had the assignment to do a routine check on a pharmacist to see if the medicine he brought was legal . The job was scheduled to take a week but turned out, after a month of silence from Sam, that she brought a report in which shows that the pharmacist was not only bad in his job but as well was hitting his wife in everyday bases and was a pedophile. That was a little habit that she had and drove Peterson insane. She didn't let anything be hidden. She had to find out every single dirty detail about the person she was searching.
But except that little habit she had a really weird attitude. She was antisocial and rude practically all the time. Anyone liked her in the company when she came at first. Neither Peterson. She wasn't even at the P.I. She was working as a 'waitress' ,like an assistant of each employee. When anyone needed a coffee , a smoothie or a donut they were asking Sam to do it. She showed her ability of investigating only a year ago when Peterson was ready to fire her. He was so amused by her work that he couldn't not hire her in the P.I area. Even though by the government Samantha Puckett was considered as a psychopath as well as sociopath Ronald trusted her. Sam was unique and he couldn't lose her. In the last year ,as he get to know her better , he stood up to her as a father even though she didn't like it at all. She said she never had one. She had only a mother who for most of the time didn't give a shit about her and now was at a clinic for nuts. She loved her and visited her many times but it wasn't her family anymore.
"Tell us Sam , what did you find about Benson?"
She gave him again a bored expression , stood up and took the one-hundred-twenty pages report from the big table. She sat again and put her legs on it.
"You want the long or the short story?"
The two men looked at each other and Ronald let Michel Fleck answer "Let's listen to the short one , please"
"Well , Fredward Benson was born in Seattle in February 4th 1988. Since his fourteen years he was fascinated in tech staff and writing. When he was fifteen he became a 'reporter' for the school newspaper. That little duty helped him get into The Hamburg Media School as they offered him a scholarship. Everyone was amazed by his writing skills and soon after the end of his studies he came back to USA and became a journalist for the Milenium Magazine. He's working there until now."
Michel Fleck looked at Sam and spoke. "Well all those things are interesting but I would like to know more about the scandal that happened just a few months ago."
Sam looked at him , irritated she continued with her speech "Yes. I was ready to talk about that issue.. Four months ago Freddie Benson , as he likes to be called , published a article about a big corporation called Menestrom. In this article was said that the owner of this big business , Patrick Gurt , was making illegal customs , he was trading drugs among with his buds of the company and did many other staff that I won't mention , but everything is in those papers. After one day , he was already sued for defamation by Menestrom. The trial happened exactly 58 days ago and the court decided that Benson was guilty and was thrown in jail for three months. In five days he will be off.
Many people are saying that the article he wrote was a total lie and he made a foul of himself by publishing it. This is true but he could possible be fouled by someone really smart… in my opinion."
Sam was never really telling her opinion. She was always just an researcher ,as she said. She never had an opinion and even if she did she never told it aloud. "In the last two pages of the report you will find my thoughts about the trial and the article that Benson wrote. If you need any explanation , good luck with it , I m not going to help. May I go Peterson?"
Ronald was absolutely surprised by Sam telling them her thoughts. She not only told them but them on a paper ,too. He couldn't say much , her work was done for that day so he nodded letting her go to wherever she wanted to.
Sam stood up and left the building still thinking about 'the Benson project' she just finished. She had to find out more , to know more about what was going on in his life. He was too fascinating to be forgotten that easily.
