I do not own any of these characters, I am just borrowing them for a while.
Chapter One : Rory
"10 mins until deadline" Rory fingers flew as she hurried to insert the last couple words in her story. She checked the clock it was 11:56, only four minutes to go. Quickly she hit the print button and ran down the hall to the print room. "Who still proofs print copies "she thought to herself it would have been so much easier to just send it in an email as every other newsroom in the world did. Gathering up the loose warm pages she stapled them and ran back into her boss's office. Gary Fox was smoking his tobacco pipe with a felt tip pen hanging loosely from his fingers, he glanced up at her and gestured at the desk. Rory put her completed article on the stack of neatly compiled papers and said goodnight to Barb, Gary's secretary and wife. After stopped at her desk to turn off her mac book she stuffed it into her bag and then left the now dark office.
It was cold and blustery in Boston and she tugged her coat tighter to her thin body. All these nights of working late and just consuming coffee had made a noticeable difference in her jeans. She hurried to the black town car that she knew would be waiting and slid inside.
"Your late" Logan's cold voice echoed from the other side of the car. "We have been waiting for over an hour and we have an important meeting tomorrow morning." Both of the men's faces had a yellow tinge from the blackberries in their hands.
"Hello Rory" Tim Matthews was Logan's partner and co- owner of their business. He offered a warm smile and moved over to make room for Rory on the leather seats.
"Things just came up "Rory offered a halfhearted apology, pulled out her book and read in silence until they reached the town house. As Rory got out of the car she looked back to see if Logan was also coming but the car door was already shut and the car began to roll away. With a small sigh Rory walked alone into the building.
