“Help me get some food.” Natalie massaged her sore shoulders.

“Okay,” replied Ms. Carter before leaving immediately.

Within half an hour, she bought lunch back.

After thanking her, Natalie brought the food back to her office. Just when she opened the lid of the box, her phone rang.

She glanced at it and saw that it was from an unknown number. It seemed like an official call instead of a marketing call, so she picked her phone up. “Hello?”

“Ms. Smith, I’m afraid I have some bad news. There is no easy way to say this.” The inspector’s voice was solemn.
