    ... towards Ruby's idea.

I took out my cell phone and sent her a message. “I’m in.”

Thirty seconds later my phone chimed, and the little computer voice told me her answer. “Let’s talk tonight. I will pull some strings.”

The afternoon shift dragged on, I didn’t get enough sleep the night before and there were no interesting inquiries or requests to help me pass the time. Also, I had to admit, I was a little sore. Louis’ aftermath.

Again, close to the end of my shift, my headset announced an incoming call from Mr Jones's room.

I pushed the button to answer the call. “Good evening, Mr Jones. How may I be of service?”

“Good evening, Miss O’Riordan, how are you tonight?” There was a warmth in his voice, and, like this afternoon, he sounded more upbeat.

“Quite well, thank you.”

“I just wanted to call, to thank you for your help yesterday. I think this afternoon wouldn’t have been the right opportunity to do so.”

I stifled a giggle, if he knew the things Nelson and I had pulled off together for guests he would have been amazed. “You’re welcome, Sir.”

“It was nice meeting you in person.” Jones sounded a little shy.

“No need for an apology, the red comes out when I get more sunlight. It will also turn me into a lobster, but my hair will get a reddish tint.” I laughed and heard him exhale in relief.

“Is there something else I can help you with tonight?”

He cleared his throat. “I wanted to let you know that the woman from yesterday, Miss Ruby, will call again.”

I wondered if should tell her that he called her Miss Ruby, she’d have a field day. “I have been notified.” As much as I wanted to find out what he thought about the whole affair, I knew better than to probe him. I had noticed the slight shift in his tone.

“As soon as Miss Ruby calls, I will directly connect to your room.”

She wouldn’t call him that night. I knew it but he didn’t.

The next day Ruby and I met for lunch before my shift started and she told me that she had commandeered a room in a museum, of all places. They were changing exhibitions on the top floor and since it was one of those new artsy places the floor had no windows. All the light came from the lighting for the different exhibitions. This wasn’t a normal room. Ruby knew everyone, everywhere and everyone owed her a favour.

There was no need to be concerned about residual light from windows, and no accidental finding of light switches since there were none. Some of the walls would ...
