Sydney looked up to Mr. Gets, "What happened?" Mr. Gets stood moved from the desk to the
chair previously occupied by Karen and began to whisper what had occurred to a one Nigel
Bailey.
I have been Nigel's lawyer now for four years. We met when he hired me to take care of his
family's estate as well as his own assets. Nigel decided back in March that he wanted to travel
around some in Ireland and India. He said he had been there plenty of times with you but he
wanted to enjoy the scenery and that was the last I saw of him. We traded calls and he wrote to
me sending me faxes, a postcard or a letter here and there but it all abruptly stopped at the end of
July. I contacted one of our best detectives who traced Nigel's path and it took him only 3 days to
get back to me. Nigel had been in a small village in quite frankly the middle of nowhere in India
when it got attacked. He was killed. I came here today to tell you this and to tell you all the
arrangements have been made. His body has been shipped to his family's estate in England. I
wanted you to know because you as well as Karen are mentioned in the will. The both of you are
required to be present at the reading to be held in exactly two days, in England." Mr. Gets stood
and patted Sydney's shoulder on his way out the door, "Once again Ms. Fox I am sorry for the
loss. He was a great man." Sydney turned around to see Mr. Gets and the men take what was left
of Nigel's belonging from his desk.
Sydney headed to the phone and began to dial the dean's extension; it was vacation time for her
and Karen. Sydney heard the phone being picked up on the first ring, "Dean Sanders, hi it's
Sydney." Before the dean could speak Sydney told her, "Dean before you say anything, I taking
the semester off. Nigel is gone and I am taking the semester off. Give my classes to whomever
you sit fit, goodbye." Sydney couldn't stay there any longer she felt the walls closing in on her
trying to suffocate her. Just then the door clicked open and she saw Karen being escorted into the
office by a security guard. "Ms. Fox, Karen doesn't look so good do you want me to call an
ambulance?" Sydney took Karen in her arms and sat her down on the desk and turned to look at
the guard, "No just let me get her purse and my purse and you can walk us outside to get a cab."
The guarded nodded his head and kept a hold on Karen fearing she didn't have the strength to
stand on her own and would fall and hurt herself if he did.
Sydney took Karen left arm and linked it though hers to help support her weight as the headed out
of the office. As she took her keys out she couldn't help and look at the picture frame attached to
it. It was of her and Nigel back in some place or another, but it was she and Nigel holding each
other and smiling at the camera like idiots. That had been some good times. No stop she told
herself she would get Karen and herself to her apartment and then she would sit down and have
herself a real good cry. Right now the priority was to get out and off campus.
