Seven Gem Stones

Chapter one The clock struck 12 o’clock when a man in a white jacket glanced up at it. “Only one hour remains,” he thought as he buttoned the top button on his jacket. “Now, where did I put that knife...?” He looked around and found it on the floor. “Ah, there it is,” he mumbled picking it up. Then he heard a knock on the door. “Sir,” said a voice. “Your client is here to see you.” The man turned around. “Ah, yes,” he said. “Send my client in.” The door opened slightly and his client walked in. The man’s assistant walked in right behind the client and closed the door. “Let’s get down to business...” the man in the white jacket said to his client. “Please,” he gestured to a worn out black leather chair. “Have a seat.” “Thank you,” his client mumbled as they sat down. The man in the white jacket continued. “I need seven gem stones- one white, one green, two blue, one purple, and two red. Can you get those for me?” His client smiled at him. “Of course. If I recall, I have worked for you in the past. I’m assuming you liked my work?” He smiled back. “Why do you think I’ve asked you to take on this task?”
