VI: Hawkeye – Part II
It hung on the wall next to the filing cabinet. One day to a page. One number to a sheet.
Two days later Hawkeye frowned blackly at the calendar. She still didn't know who had taken the page.
The duty book had been unhelpful. Havoc and Fuery had left first because they had had dinner plans. Then Falman with Schieska.
Breda had signed out next. Actually she didn't recall seeing him leave because she had been trying to 'persuade' the Colonel to finish his paperwork. He could have done it she supposed, although it would be highly unlikely.
And she and the Colonel had left at the same time.
Someone had entered the office and removed the page some time after that. But who?
She heard booted feet coming along the passageway and watched as her colleagues entered. Her eyes narrowed and she again studied each one. They were all so normal, no-one was behaving differently.
It was not until early afternoon that she saw it. Eyes that flickered from an unaware Edward to the calendar and back.
Hawkeye's eyes widened. Was it him? Had he returned to the office later? But why? And the page. Why take the page?
