Chapter 11 - Get Well Card
Jamie makes her way down the street and heads to the coffee shop at the corner. Now, because the Winter Soldier had somehow managed to survive, she had to come up with a Plan B.
She sits down and pulls out her phone. 'I've got to come up with something fast' she thinks 'or else I'll be in big trouble at work tomorrow.' She starts typing another email. 'Hmm... how to say that he's not dead? Poison would fix that. That's it, I'll ask for some poison.'
'Mr. Hanler,' she begins, 'I'm sorry that lunch didn't go as planned. My grandfather is currently in the hospital so I will be visiting him tomorrow. He has asked me to bring his favorite drink. Do you know where I could get Malthorn or something of that nature? F. Cantrell'
"Oohh" she sighs as she rubs her temples.
"Jamie?" she hears from behind her "Hey! It's good to see you outside of work!"
She turns and smiles at her friend, "Hey Lilith."
Lilith sits down across from Jamie and sips her coffee "What's wrong, Jay? You seem upset."
"Oh well," she debates telling her that her grandfather was sick but then an idea starts to form, "I'm really worried about Mr. Barnes."
"Me too. I sincerely hope he's ok," Lilith agrees.
"I just wish that there was something we could do for him, you know?"
"Yeah," Lilith thinks for a second, "Maybe the whole IT department could give him something. But what?"
"How about a card?" Jamie suggests subtly.
"Yes! And the whole department could sign it at work tomorrow!" Lilith says excitedly "You know, I pass a nice floral shop on my way home. I could get flowers and a card."
"That would be great," Jamie agrees, "I could deliver them if you want. It's not a far walk to the hospital from where I live."
"That would be perfect! Bye Jamie, see you tomorrow" Lilith says as she runs out of the shop.
'Perfect' Jamie thinks 'now it's not my idea.'
