Annie On the Lam: a Christmas Caper (2007)
“drifted down the hallway outside Harry Landau’s dark office. Landau’s Christmas party was at full drunken tilt.Standing before an open file cabinet, Annie fought an oncoming sneeze. She wasn’t sure whose Christmas gift was worse—Harry’s perfume or the one his sister Lacy had given her. Lacy might not be the sharpest pencil in the box but she understood sarcasm; the woman knew condoms would be wasted on Annie. Lacy often teased her that if she didn’t accept a date soon, she’d quality as a virgin... again. The woman had a warped sense of humor.Beyond the wall of office windows, Manhattan sparkled like a trimmed Christmas tree dusted with snow. Flakes danced in the night sky, the beginning of the blizzard the weather reports had predicted.With trembling fingers, Annie pulled folders from the cabinet drawer and placed them into the empty briefcase she’d found in Harry’s closet. Her heart pounded hard as she glanced over her shoulder at the closed door. She would’ve come more prepared, brought her own bag to haul all this stuff away in, but until Harry cornered her a few minutes ago, she had only intended to do some nosing around, not take anything.MoreLess
