“What do you mean he left?”

For the first time since he’d been here, something had pulled Jason away from his lab. Perhaps that pretty young teacher he was seeing? Right now, the big guy was in a bad mood and wanted an answer. Janet didn’t have one. She shrugged her shoulders.

“Well sir, he just left. He walked out of the lab about an hour ago without saying anything to anybody.”

“Call him and tell him I need to see him today before the field report meeting. It’s important. And while you’re at it, find out why one of the highest paid employees in this place is just walking out in the middle of the day.”

Schimmel’s aggravation was very out of character. He was definitely upset.

“Will do boss,” Janet answered in a serious tone.

As soon as she turned to leave, the concerned look disappeared from Janet Riker’s face. In her professional capacity, she knew she should be concerned. In her human capacity, she was overjoyed. Jason was pretty easy to like, and her maternal instincts had long since kicked in with him. Something, someone, had finally gotten Jason’s attention, to the point of pulling him away from work! She so hoped it was that cute young teacher he’d been seeing. Their relationship was hardly a secret. It had been the topic of conversation among most of the young women in the research department for weeks now. Amazing, wonderful. OK. Back to reality. She had a call to make. The boss did not like to be kept waiting.
