My six sentence Sunday offering is again from my latest
title: Shopping for Love. The hero,
Greg, has uncovered dodgy dealings at the investment bank where he is employed as
a software developer and has reported this to the CEO. Unfortunately, the colleague responsible for the
illegalities happens to be the CEO's son.
Max Sandler's nepotism means that Greg's days at the bank are numbered.
He knew that simply by copying the faulty code to produce as
evidence, he was in breach of contract and they could, if they thought of it,
use the non-disclosure clause in his contract to bring about his disgrace and
downfall. Sacked on a technicality – a
straightforward clause in his own contract.
He needed to act quickly before he found himself locked out from
accessing important data. He saw from the
calendar he was due to see Max Sandler at eleven. He spent the next half hour running a query
to pull up data of all the companies likely to be interested in Mongolian
investments and vertical integration with Kennago - and with a sufficiently
high market cap to make them viable options.
In for a penny, Greg thought, in for half a million pounds.

Tense and intriguing six!
This part of the story is inriguing - and I was impressed by your knowledge of computers and all the legal stuff!
This sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be back for more. :)
Oohh poor Greg. crazy how someone can get trapped by the system/contract. You know whatever's going on is horrible, but at the same time risky to report it. ugh!

Poor guy! I'd love to know what happens next.
Well done. You've conveyed the sense of urgency he's feeling without saying that it's urgent. :-) Nice turn on the old adage: "In for a penny, Greg thought, in for half a million pounds."
Thank you all for dropping by and commenting - I love seeing you on my blog. xxx
Oh and Paula, my darling son was a big help to me on these subjects.
I suspect major conflict coming soon between Greg and the CEO's son. I showdown!
I can feel the urgency in this snippet, what will he do? I hope to find out next week!
