phone number with an area code that Lexi recognized as Miami Florida as well as step by step instructions on how to call and identify who she was and what she needed. She also noted an index card with the name of a bank in Switzerland with a couple of sets of numbers .
    Oh God, I can’t imagine having to do business like this on a daily basis. Following the instructions, she dialed the number from Kurt’s old desk phone. The call picked up on the other end with a recorded message that said, “Please stay on the line.” While Lexi waited she looked over the framed pictures on the desk again. Some interesting looking guys on here, I wonder which one will be for me? Each one is hotter than the next. This is way better than shopping for shoes online! Wow! I would love to have a guy like that. Her eyes were drawn to a tall muscular man with dark hair and it looked like he hadn’t shaved in a week or maybe two. He was bare-chested and a leather shoulder holster that held a large silver pistol hung from his broad shoulders. She nearly drooled at his solid muscular chest and his well-defined abs. Lexi picked up the frame and looked closely at his face and then down to his waist.
    The phone made a series of clicking sounds before an older woman’s voice interrupted Lexi’s ogling, “Osprey Group, please state your customer ID.” Lexi glanced at the instructions and gave out the number. “Thank you, you must be Kate Karnstein. How may I help you?” Lexi decided that perhaps she should just let the woman assume she was in fact Kate.
    “I was given instructions to specifically ask for the assistance of a Mr. Kidd. Can you please tell me how to reach him?”
    “Mr. Kidd is not available in your region. We only set up face to face meetings with our clients. If you wish I can arrange a meeting with our representative in Maryland.”
    “No, I have been told that I specifically need Mr. Kidd. Is there any way I can meet with him?”
    “Yes there is, but you will have to take a flight to Medellin Colombia. I’ll set up the flight and instructions for the meeting and send it to the fax number at your location. You must follow them exactly once I make the arrangements, so that Mr. Kidd can pick you up at the airport in Medellin. Now, please verify the bank account and release authorization for our prearranged contract amount.”
    “Prearranged contract amount?”
    “Yes, Mr. Karnstein has a contract for services with us and a part of that is an arrangement for the funding.”
    Lexi gave her the bank information from the instructions that Kurt had left and then waited for the fax machine to print the incoming message. After a few minutes she realized that staring at a machine had absolutely no effect on it.
    What the hell am I getting into? Maybe I should have brought Marcie along. What would she tell me? Probably, “Just remember it is just a flight, meet with this guy that you can trust and you will both go on to meet Kate and everything will be fine.” 
    She realized that night had fallen and thought to call Marcie to see how things were going. After a couple of tries, she left a message. She’s probably working late at the coffee shop or off at the tanning salon.
    The fax machine came to life and sheets of paper slid out and fluttered to the floor. Lexi quickly gathered them up and looked over her travel arrangements. The flight to Medellin didn’t depart for four days. “This is bullshit! I don’t have that kind of time to wait.” She dialed the number back to plead with the faceless woman, only to reach clicking noises then a dial tone. She noticed that the papers had a local phone number to contact Mr. Kidd in Colombia.
    She quickly dialed it, only to find that it was restricted to calls coming from within Colombia. Lexi hated to be put into a situation where she had no control and felt it was time to do things on her terms.
    She contacted the airlines and scheduled a new flight to leave in the morning. Well Mr.
