[attr="class","Whitmorenert"]The stapler went flying into the wall. Curse words flew out of the mouth of Vanessa Whitmore. Walton Industries had just made a bid on a contract she was after. One she couldn’t win on because Walton while they weren’t successful business marketers, they could pay. Bidding on a contract at their price, she wasn’t so sure they were playing fair. People were likely to lose their lives because of it. If she couldn’t have the contract, she knew someone who could manage to seal the deal. Grabbing the phone she decided to basically GIVE the contract she wanted so badly to Cross. It was better than letting people die.

Explaining to David the situation over a voicemail all she could was wait. She did explain that she was going to still try and secure the contract but that Walton was by no means going to get that contract. If Cross won it, they could have it fair and square. The only issue was bidding that low became risky, where the cost of manufacture outweighs the price offered. Walton was willing to go low and risk lives in doing it. The courts were moving too slow for her liking in the bombing situation. No one wanted to go after the wealthy white collar assassin. Maybe he was paying them off too. Hell, she didn’t care.

Dorian Reese and Anderson Briggs were on shift. Vanessa looked up as Anderson placed the stapler on her desk. Hearing Anderson’s radio she got up from her desk. “Walton 10-76 to Scotland” Radio dispatch. Oh there would be words.

“WHY is he in this building and WHO the hell did he get past downstairs!” Vanessa knew better there was nowhere to go but up from her office. There was an escape route for her but it involved a hidden door, a roof, and some extra security.

“Units Alpha and Charlie 10-80” A voice she didn’t recognize, units not part of her detail. Someone better detain this jerk before he got to her office. Anderson herded Vanessa towards the roof. She was already headed up that way. The look on Anderson’s face said it all as he pulled out his phone to call Cameron Pierce Sr.. This was not a phone call he wanted to be making.

Vanessa was quick to text Evan Cross with what was happening. She just hoped that Walton hadn’t given a second thought to Aria Campbell behind the desk. Everyone at WhitTech knew the guy’s face. He was person non grata to this company and he had a restraining order on him. Bentley was in prison for something that Walton had coerced him into doing. Why was Walton so hard to nail? Damn courts. Vanessa looked to Anderson and made sure she was following security protocol to the T. This man was a lunatic.
