My Snippet is composed of 5 paragraphs. This is the beginning of Chapter 12. I may present the entire chapter. I am not sure yet.
Background and summary: In this snippet Kirk and Peter walk into the executive suite for a meeting with Daniel and find Angie getting ready to depart his office.
***
As Angie and Daniel departed his office, Kirk and Peter were entering the executive suite for their weekly executive meeting. Needless to say, the both of them stood before the door surprised. The door slammed when Kirk shut it.
“We thought you weren’t here,” Peter said. “Your car isn’t in your assigned parking space.”
Before Daniel could answer, Kirk who had been regarding Angie said, “Angie, what are you doing here?”
“She’s visiting me, Kirk.”
“I can see that but what I’m asking is why?” Kirk said in a much louder voice.
Daniel glanced down at Angie. “Your taxi is waiting. Go to school. I’ll take care of your Uncles. Don’t worry. Just trust me.”

That’s all folks.
Until next week, be safe.
