Sapphire necklace
Chapter 4
Bianca's laptop was no were to be seen.
"NOOOO!" She screamed falling to the floor with tears now washing all her makeup away.
"Come on, it will be fine. We will find the laptop!" I said reassuringly.
"IT'S NOT the laptop!" she snapped.
"Oh, sorry? What is it?" I asked.
"My necklace, it was in this drawer but… its gone!" she said rummaging through the debris.
"I'm so, so sorry." I said with sympathy.
"My husband gave it to me on his death bed." She said quietly.
"Oh, my. I will call the police!" I said picking her off the floor.
This is a different side of her I have never seen before, I thought she was just an old women. A tear ran down my face. I pulled out my mobile, I tapped three numbers into it 999 and pressed dial. Three beeps and then a buzzing sound ran through my head.
"Hello, what service shall I provide for you today?" Said a manly voice through the phone.

I hung up the phone and walked back over to Bianca. She was back on her knees crying.
"Come on, get up, lets go get a coffee!" I said reassuringly.
"O-okay" she snivelled.
I picked her off the floor and walked her to the lobby were the coffee machine stood.
"Black or white?" I asked pulling a mug from the rack.
"B-black, 2 sugars" she blubbered.
"Okay!" I said.
I pulled 2 sachet's sugar from the black tub, ripped them open and poured the in as the coffee shot out of the spout into the mug. The machine whirred as the coffee started to splatter.
"Stupid machines!" I said angrily.
I pulled the mug that was full to the brim of coffee and handed it to Bianca.
"Here!" I said wiping the coffee off my hand…
