Snippet #1808221

Sarah slapped a copy of that day’s New York Times onto her desk and sighed as she stood up. The science and technology section was covering, yet again, research by KRI that was suspected of inhumane testing methods. Picking her jacket of the back of her chair and grabbing her purse she began to walk down to a restaurant that she frequented for lunch.

KRI was always under suspicion of malpractice, but they were never caught. Their lawyers were slippery and always got them out of a pinch. It infuriated Sarah—it was beyond her how they could bring themselves to use the most ruthless methods possible. There were always other ways to do it.

Preoccupied with her thoughts, she arrived at the restaurant without even realizing it. Her usual table was in the back corner, somewhat removed from the rest of the restaurant. As usual, that table was open so the hostess showed her to the usual table.
