NEW FRIEND

   Samuel Boateng, a junior investigator at the NIA overheard the whole conversation between Mr. Norman and Reece because his office was opposite to Reece's and decided to check up on Reece. 

He walked into Reece's office whiles the door was opened and knocked on the opened door to catch his attention. 

Reece upon seeing him asked,

"Can I help you?" Samuel replied "I overheard Mr. Norman yelling and wanted to check up on you cause you look so tensed" he added " Wait!! Aren't you the new guy, Reece right? I've heard a lot about you. Nice meeting you" as he stretched his hands to shake him which Reece calmly accepted and responded and shook hands with him. 

Samuel then offered to help Reece  and they both sorted out the case files together and when they were done sorting them out, they took it to Samuel's office since he had a fax machine,and quickly faxed all the files to Mr. Norman. 

Samuel after all the work then said to Reece," I think we could work together,after all two heads are better than one, work smarter not harder right?" "Yeah I guess you're right."

 The clock struck one and it was lunch time. Samuel's tummy began to rumble and the both laughed. 

 "Let's go get something to eat to silence these stomachs" said Samuel.

They took the stairs to be able to talk more and get to know each other better. 

When they got to the third floor,they met Ms. Elizabeth who had just come out of her office with the intention of going to find something to eat. 

  Samuel being a friendly fellow ,invited her to join them which made Reece feel very uncomfortable and a bit jealous as well. They crossed over from the office to a food joint which was sited opposite the office. When they  got there ,they ordered their foods, sat and ate. 

Reece tried to start a conversation with Elizabeth but didn't know where to start cause it had been a long while since they met or spoke and having a crush on her made it more difficult for him. Samuel noticed this from Reece's face and tried to help by introducing them to each other without knowing that they knew each other already. 

"Reece, this is Elizabeth,Elizabeth, Reece" introducing them to each other and he was suprised that they knew each other already and tried to find out their past but none of them were willing to talk so he gave up. After they had finished eating, Samuel paid for the meals and they thanked him and went back to their offices. 

      Work eventually closed and it was time for Reece to head home. Samuel walked him to the bus station in order to show him around the area. When they got to the bus stop, they exchanged their contacts to keep in touch and parted ways to their homes.
