When We Meet

It was four in the morning when I scrubbed my eyes and sent out the progress email to the team. I had never imagined that writing emails to team members about progress would be on my resume. And then there was talking to the higher-ups about what was happening on the case, too. While Nash debriefed them. I would send out the collective email. Sometimes, some of them would respond with a 'keep up the good work,' or 'has this lead been followed' responses.

Good thing I wasn't nervous in front of authority or I would have been shaking in my boots. I turned off my email and rested my head on the table to get a nap. I saw Nash snoring away in his chair, his head bending over and I knew both of us were going to wake up with cramped necks and raging headaches. 

But progress had been made and we could catch some sleep.
