    About this ebook

    NOT JUST ANOTHER SICK DAY.

    Caitlyn thought it would be just another day at the office, until casual Friday turns into a quarantine that leaves her trapped in the office with her professional nemesis and two colleagues. Intense questioning from the health department turns up more questions than answers, and they are discouraged to speculate. With nothing to do but work, Caitlyn digs in her paperwork, and finds herself caught in the mystery of tangled paperwork that points to mishandling of funds and sneaky activity at their highest ranks. The suspense runs through the office as they dig up hints of a dark secret in their small town. When one colleague disappears, it’s a race against time to figure out what made everybody sick, and what secret the illness was intended to hide.

      This book is dedicated to my flock.

      Thanks to my husband, Rick, for your love, support and patience as I pursue my dream of writing,

      And to our birds: Sun Conures Zacchaeus (Zack) and Chloe, and our Quaker (Monk parakeet), Bubbles. Dedicated to the memory of our parakeet, Oliver (Ollie), who passed in 2014.

      I love you guys!

      Chapter 1 ( 3:50 A.M.)

      The woman stood behind the hospital, cradling a steaming cup of coffee in her hands. She was trembling, either from the chill in the air, or her nerves. She heard footsteps approach as the warm liquid slid down her throat.

      You’re late, she said in a thick, country drawl.

      My apologies, her companion said, huddled in a long, dark coat. The hood was pulled up, but the face was partially visible. Are we set?

      The woman took another sip of her coffee and nodded. There were complications, but we’re set.

      Complications?

      Don’t worry; they’ve been dealt with.

      The figure looked around. You have the money?

      The woman nodded. It’s in a safe place.

      They heard a noise around the corner, but several moments passed in silence. Finally, the figure spoke.

      Why do we have to wait?

      The woman sighed and tossed the empty cup in a nearby trashcan. We’re sticking to the plan. This illness has already caused unexpected problems. People have been hospitalized, and the Health Department is snooping around. She stared in the distance, toward the small administrative building across the parking lot. We don’t need to risk it by disappearing too early. Be patient. It’s Friday. We’ll have the weekend to get away.

      Do we have any time to spare if the Health Department is involved?

      We’ll be fine. The woman smiled. Relax. Everything is on schedule. I have the money and tonight we’ll be on a plane to anywhere we want. Don’t do anything to stir up suspicion. In fact, it might be best if you were seen as little as possible.

      The figure nodded. We should meet again to finalize our plans.

      An alarm sounded from the Nurses Station inside the door. The woman stiffened. I better get in there.

      Then we’re set?

      The woman nodded, exasperated. We’re set. I’ll meet you this afternoon. Don’t be late. And try to get some sleep.

      The figure chuckled. Who can sleep? We’re about to have an exciting day.

      Neither of them saw the man pressed against the side of the building as they parted ways.

      Chapter 2 (7:55 A.M.)

      Caitlyn Rosenblume rode her bicycle into the medical complex. It was a beautiful, crisp fall morning in Woodland, South Carolina, located fifty miles northwest of Columbia. She and her husband, Jared, built on family land that was closer to the center of town recently, so she rode her bike when the weather permitted to save on gas. Caitlyn worked at Woodland Memorial Hospital as the Administrative Assistant to the head of Accounting Services, Clara Ross. Mrs. Ross had been out sick all week, so it had been hectic as she scrambled to keep things moving. Actually, most of the staff had been out sick all week. The previous day, only eight people showed up.

      She rode up to the door just as her cousin, Megan Nichols, was walking in. Megan was an Accounting Coordinator responsible for managing their federal grant. People often asked Caitlyn and Megan if they were sisters, because they did look alike – they shared the same dark hair and eyes, but Megan was taller and thinner with wavy, long hair, while Caitlyn was shorter with straight hair hanging past her shoulders.

      It rubbed many people the wrong way
