Katie," Gemma said. "Maybe we should cancel your date for the weekend. Looks
like you're going to be busy."

I still felt sick and too stunned to speak. Connie must have noticed this, for she said,
"Katie, hon, what's wrong?"

"I told you I saw him on the subway this morning, right? Well, he also sent me an
e-mail today offering me a job. Three e-mails, come to think of it."

"What kind of job?" Marcia asked.

"I don't know. He didn't say. That's why I was so suspicious and just deleted them.
I thought it was spam, one of those 'great opportunity' things where you can make a
fortune working at home. He did say something about knowing my experience and
work ethic, but how could he? I'm pretty sure I never saw him before this morning.
And then to run into him again tonight. . ."I shuddered.

The others now looked a lot more serious. "What company was he with?" Marcia
asked.

"Something like MSI, Inc."

She shook her head. "Never heard of it."

"You don't think it's a real job offer, do you?"

"I don't know, but I doubt it. Headhunters do contact people out of the blue, and
sometimes they're vague about what company they're representing, but they usually
tell you how they heard about you, and they usually recruit more in the, um,
executive ranks." In other words, they wouldn't be out trying to steal a glorified
secretary. "I wonder if this company is a search firm. It is possible that it was
someone in your company who recommended you, maybe someone who's accepted
another
job but who hasn't given notice yet and who's recommended names of other people
to steal."

That was certainly possible. Anyone on the marketing staff at my company could
very easily be jumping ship, and they'd be sure to do anything they could to get back
at Mimi on their way out, like having her assistant recruited. I liked to think that in
spite of the difficult conditions and my unfortunate lack of city sophistication, I'd
done a good enough job that my coworkers would be willing to recommend me.
Still, the fact that the guy had shown up tonight made me nervous.
As if echoing my thoughts, Marcia added, "What is weird is that you've been seeing
him around town. Recruiters don't usually work that way. They set up meetings
rather than ambushing you and your friends with free drinks. And if a coworker
recommended you, how did he know what you look like and how to find you away
from work? This morning on the subway, was there any way he could have got your
name or where you work? Did he follow you out of the subway?"

I shook my head. "No. He got off a few stops before I did."
