Darcy simply nodded and left.

"Of course not. I am a private secretary to Lawyer Dawson. I do errands for him when it pleases me and for extra money. Why would I be any kind of a watch dog for anyone?" Miss Linda spoke quickly with a bit of resentment in her voice.
Then she thought to herself <This guy has some nerve! Perhaps I should make this a quick meal. Or I could be the one who does the research if the price is right...... Of course i remember quite a bit of the case and took notes of what I could on my own time of course. it might be interesting to do some researching....>

"I am going to send a text to Lawyer Dawson and I'll be right back with the answer to your previous request for a research secretary." Miss Linda spoke.

After a few texts, Miss Linda spoke to Detective Simmions
"I have the next several weeks off to assist you. Of course I stay here and do my research while you do the footwork where ever it may lead you to." she announced as she forked some of her salad.
