the day off.”
“Yep. Just another PTO day. Not like they’ll see me after work or early in the morning. So I lose a PTO day. Not like the people who interview me really care to begin with.”
“They didn’t want you to come in earlier.”
“Nope. By the time I get out and get to work, it would be after 2:00. Besides, last thing I need is to make Stacey Jones suspicious” - Gunn sat down in front of Doug - “that I’m looking for another job. She would wonder if I’m out for a long time.”
“I remember Pat taking a very long lunch break. Nearly 2 hours. Everyone knew that she was interviewing.”
“So did Cole and look what happened. He was laid off.”
“I know.”
“I don’t see a point in being interviewed and having to look at my watch wondering if I’ll be caught. So take a PTO day. I’m the only one that loses out. They’re interviewing lots of people.”
“What kind of company is it?”
“The agency sells on-line ads.” Gunn stretched the back of his neck by moving his head back. “I could do that since that doesn’t compete with Blake & Yurman.”
“They don’t do product advertising?”
“They do but as long as I’m not involved in that, then everything should be okay.”
“Well, good luck.”
“Thanks.”
An hour later, Don was walking home, turning the corner to his apartment building. As he turned, he saw a man in a car, the bald-headed man with a mustache from Grizzlies, leaning back, his eyes on a newspaper. He glanced at Don briefly, then gazed at his newspaper again.
Gunn wondered if this was the same man from Grizzlies. He only saw him from a distance for a few seconds along with the other man. Yet, it was 90 degrees and here was this person in his car reading a paper.
He didn’t want to think that this man was following him also as he stepped into the doorway of his building. Eddie Francis, the doorman sat there, staring at the TV screen. He ran his hand through his dark hair that was slicked back, then said “Hey Don. Heard you’re going to the game on Thursday.”
“Yep. Should be a lot of fun.”
He wiped his mustache with the back of his hand. “I think we’ll win it now that we have Halladay. And we may get Oswalt.”
“We’ll see. Should be an exciting year.”
“It will be.”
“Can I ask you a question?”
“Sure.”
“Did you notice the man outside across the street in his car.”
He looked at his screen. “I think so. Been here about an hour.”
“Pretty hot to be out there in this weather.”
“I guess I never noticed.”
“Did you notice that there was someone else here last night just sitting around in his car?”
“Not really. Hey, as long as they’re across the street and not coming in here. I’m fine with that.”
“I guess you’re right. Thanks.”
“No problem.”
