"She did seem rather odd. I told her that I was thinking of applying for a job with BlackCo. She seemed frightened and warned me not to."
The two BlackCo. employees turned their backs to her and talked for a minute while Edith waited. She couldn't tell what they were talking about, besides the occasional loudly spoken word. 'Sharon', 'Mr. Black', 'Lab'... They settled their discussion quickly, and faced Edith.
"Could you come with us back to BlackCo. Miss? We'd like to ask you some questions about Sharon. And you can fill out an application while you're there."
Edith thought this was a bit strange, but perhaps Sharon really did need her help. If she went with them, it might be to both their benefit.
