“Ms. Murchison, my name is Henry Ogleby, what can we do for you?”
“I need help getting home,” Laura said. “My purse was stolen with all my identification and credit cards. Before I left the States, I made a copy of my travel documents and the contents of my wallet, and it’s on this memory card.”
“Did you report it to the police?”
“No, I came here first.”
“Where are you staying?” Mr. Ogleby asked.
“That’s another problem. I just got here from Sao Paulo and I don’t have a hotel.”
“Where is your luggage?”
By this time, Laura started to cry. She dabbed at her eyes under her sunglasses. She knew she couldn’t keep up the lie. “It’s complicated.”

Poor Laura! I've had that happen to me...dreadful!
Poor Laura. Hope she's okay.
How frightening! At least she had the foresight to make copies of her travel documents, but it's still a scary situation. You did a great job of showing her distress.
I've really enjoyed your excerpts and look forward to reading the whole thing, Sarah.
It's enough to make you want to stay at home, feet up, fire blazing, a glass of brandy and a good book like this at hand.
Thank you for all the nice comments.
