Veronica was frozen, what the hell was she doing, then his warm, calloused hand was on her arm, pulling her closer and she remembered. The private eye was going to show him how to be sociable. Leaning forwards and tipping her head back slightly, the girl stared into the dark pools that sparkled with an inner fire. She felt a hand along her back and then pull her flush against Clarence. Shivering, she stood on tip toes, she had just barely brushed her lips against his when a knock came at the door. Like shots had been fired, the pair separated, Veronica and Weidman sitting on opposite sides of the desks.
The handle jiggled in that cliché way just before it burst open allowing four young men, dressed in immaculate suits and wearing ear pieces, to walk in. They stopped short noticing that there was someone else in the office besides their boss. One of the four stepped closer.
"Sir," he said, "We have the information you wanted."
Clarence cleared his throat, silently begging for Veronica to understand, "Just stay there for a moment, I was just finishing up here. Ms. Mars, thank you for that detail, I'll be by later this week to discuss any further changes. I'll show you out."
Veronica rolled her eyes, but played along, "No problem Mr. Weidman, I aim to please."
Veronica rose as did the older man, he walked her out of the office, his usual stoic nature rising. Once they were out of the building, Clarence glanced around, seeing no one, he pulled her out of view of the cameras. Holding her arms tightly, he made a split second decision, his lips crushed down on hers, and she responded eagerly.
At last Veronica pulled back, smiled like a bat out of hell, and jogged to her car. Sitting in it, trying to process what had happened she grinned and turned the stereo up, she was about to back out of the spot when the passenger door slammed shut. Duncan leaned towards her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Veronica was flustered, "What are you doing here Duncan?"
He smiled like the lunatic he was, "I was about to ask you the same thing. Dad needed some papers from his office, and I was conveniently coming up in a day, so I was recruited. What about you, you aren't really a Kane Software person."
Licking her lips, she grimaced, she tasted like him, "I was just finishing up a case."
Duncan frowned, "Are you okay Veronica, you look a little flushed."
Shit, she was done for, "I-uh, I must be catching a cold or something; I'll take some medicine when I get home."
Duncan just shrugged, "So what case were you working on?"
Not wanting to prolong the conversation, Veronica decided on the short, but snippy response, "Nothing interesting, just a missing person's file, I found her and I was just tying up some loose ends."
Duncan just grinned, "I'll see you later babe."
Veronica swallowed, "I don't know, I think I have a surveillance shift tonight, I'll call you okay."
Duncan got out of her car and trotted over to the sidewalk, waving the whole time, giving a weak smile she raced out of the parking lot and headed towards the highway. Doing 75 on the highway always made things clearer, so what else could she do but puzzle what had happened today while dodging between traffic.
