I got to the office just after 1 AM. It was a secure building, and while no guards were on duty at this time to let me in, my badge allowed me 24/7 access. I swiped my badge across the reader, heard the familiar click, saw the light turn from red to green, and made my way through the metal detectors, into the lobby.

The building was mostly empty, of course. I didn't see anybody at first. It was good to know that as busy as mesothelioma lawyers are, most of them could still take a break from their work in the middle of the night. I'd like to be one of those people, but apparently, today wasn't the day.

I walked down the hall where Frank and I worked. Hopefully, he had done just what I asked and stayed put. I sure didn't want him wandering around and talking to anyone else who happened to be here.

But when I got to his office, it was empty. Not having much patience right now, I called him right away on his cell. A few rings, and then it went through to voicemail. I hung up. Where had he gone?

He couldn't have been gone too long though. His door was unlocked, and the motion-activated lights were still on. I wasn't sure how long it took them to turn themselves off if no one was in the room, but I didn't think it was very long.

Could he be in my office? He had a key, and sometimes he needed to access my files or drop something off for me. But my door was still locked. Maybe he was in the bathroom.
