As Kari Salman wearily walked out of the office building, her face wore a sickish-green look. Only a hard day at work could do this to a lady and Kari had just had one. It was her second day at work after a refreshing one month leave, not so much had changed around only that she now had so much work to do. She had spent the whole day at her desk reviewing suspects files and trying to compile evidences one after the other, and time really seemed to have sped by. 'The State Investigation Bureau is really a handful,' she thought to herself as she turned toward the parking lot where' her blue honda civic stood. It had been a birthday gift from her dad two years ago. 'Her dad' she thought looking at her watch. It was 5.30pm already she needed to get home as soon as possible cause she had promised her father she will accompany him to a dinner event. "Hey Kari, wait up!" a familiar voice called from behind. It was Laura she could tell, her best friend and colleague. She knew better than to keep moving, unless she wanted Laura to scream out her full name out so loud. Laura had always being like that, too playful for a detective. Little wonder she'd rather prefer remaining a desk agent rather than go out to the field even though she was smart. They had met each other at training school five years ago, for Kari it had been a dream come true to work in the SIB and she cherished the opportunity with everything she had. But for Laura being an investigator was the last thing she would ever wish for. She was there out of compulsion, her dream was to become a star in the fashion world. Her late father had wanted her there during his lifetime, did everything to persuade her, but all efforts were futile. After he passed on, she recieved the greatest shock of her life upon hearing the content and conditions of his will. She was an only child, her mother had died when she was just 16, so everything her father own was to be bequeathed to her. This was almost not the case as it came with a condition, 'That she would join the SIB and work for at least five years before she would be eligible to get her inheritance, and till then she will be living on a certain amount of allowance.' This had broken her so badly and she hated her father for it, she had no choice but to finally do his bidding. Afterall how will she make her dream come true if she did not have any money. She will do it, and after she got her inheritance after five years she will quickly resign and make a go for her dreams. Luck was on her side as she got to training school on her second attempt applying, and this was her fifth year in the SIB service and she could'nt wait to drop her resignation, a fact she never failed to remind Kari at every chance she gets. Despite their deferences, both girls had grown so intimate that one who did not know could mistake them to be sisters. "Laura, i thought you had gone home already," Kari said smiling as she watched her friend trying to catch up with her. "You really thought so,"replied Laura sarcastically. "Besides why would i want to go home in a cab when i could be driven like a queen in your car?" she added sarcastically as she walked up to her friend. "Well it happens, especially when you are off to any of your numerous dates," Kari replied giving her friend a wry glance. "By the way, where' is your car?" "Oh dear dear, Kari i almost wouldn't have known you were the one talking if you had'nt added that line." Both girls laughed as they started walking slowly towards Kari's car. "Well," Laura continued, "My car misbehaved this morning so i had to leave it behind." "That's quite a pity." "Listen Kari," said Laura on a serious note, "I do not do those dates anymore," "Ok, someone's beginning to sound like her heart's been broken," Kari said in a light voice. "Hell no!, i mean not the way you think. Just that i've had enough dates to last me a life time and i think i would rather prepare myself for something more serious like a relationship,” she giggled. “Come to think of it you are even the person who really need those dates. How about i fix you up with someone?” “No ways Laura! thanks for your kind gesture but i’ll rather go on dates with my work,” she replied fondling with her bag for her car keys as they got to where' it was parked. “My only problem with you Kari, you always have work like we do not work in the same office. Talking about work, i think you have a new assignment.” Kari shot up her head as she found her keys, “How did you know that?” “I eavesdropped on paul’s conversation with the SIB chief, he’s going on leave and he’s leaving a lead for you.” “Oh no, i’ve got so much to do already. What is it about?” “I never got to hear, i had to leave before i got caught,” she replied with a wink. “Just see that laura, he could find no one else to assign his work to except me. You know sometimes i wonder if paul does this kind of things on purpose, probably punishing me for turning his advances down,” she said leaning her back on her car.
