Chapter 6 Friday, the end of the road Early Friday morning,
2
I'm in the sandwich bar near the Clayton office, waiting for a text from Jeff.
3
I'm early, so I have a chicken and tomato sandwich again.
4
They're good sandwiches.
5
A text arrives from Jeff.
6
She's here.
7
Come in now.
8
Today, I'm Shirley Holmes, private investigator.
9
Quiet, dark clothes.
10
No flowery skirts, no journalist's smiley face.
11
I walk through the Clayton office to Jeff's little room at the back.
12
Ken and Harry stare at me.
13
Do they see Sally Hawker or Shirley Holmes?
14
They're not sure.
15
In Jeff's office, I sit down on a chair near his desk.
16
Anna is sitting in front of the desk.
17
She looks at me quickly, then back at Jeff behind the desk.
18
What's all this about, Jeff? she says.
19
And why is Sally Hawker here?
20
Anna, Jeff says slowly.
21
He has Anna's laptop on his desk in front of him.
22
He puts his hands on it.
23
On Wednesday night this week, you downloaded a file from the office computer in the middle of the night.
24
You used your laptop, that is, my laptop, the Clayton Electrics laptop, in your home.
25
You broke through the computer security, and that's two passwords, to take this file.
26
What did you do with that file?
27
Where is it now?
28
Anna laughs.
29
Hey, Jeff!
30
What is all this?
31
I'm your best designer, you tell me that.
32
What file are you talking about?
33
I don't know anything about a file.
34
Jeff looks at a piece of paper on his desk.
35
I have here a screenshot of your laptop at 1.05am, 24th of May.
36
It shows the download of a file, a very important file with information about costings.
37
What did you do with it?
38
Who did you sell this file to?
39
Anna isn't laughing now.
40
She looks quickly at me, then away again.
41
She's worried.
42
Why am I here?
43
Why am I not speaking?
44
She doesn't like it.
45
I say nothing, just sit and watch her.
46
She looks at Jeff.
47
Look, Jeff, she says.
48
I don't like this.
49
What are you saying?
50
Are you calling me a thief?
51
Yes, I am.
52
Who did you sell the file to?
53
Jeff says.
54
Was it to someone from Spark and Flash Design, maybe?
55
What?
56
I don't know anybody from Spark and Flash Design.
57
Who or what are they?
58
Oh dear, oh dear.
59
Bad mistake, Anna.
60
I take out my photographs and push them across the desk to her big colour photos.
61
Stephen Nyberg, director, spark and flash design, I say.
62
Steve to his friends.
63
Anna looks at the photos of her and Stephen Nyberg.
64
Her face goes white, then red.
65
She stares at me.
66
She wants to kill me right now.
67
I can see it in her eyes.
68
You are not a journalist, she says angrily.
69
What are you, police or just a dirty little investigator?
70
I hope Nyberg paid you well for all the Clayton quotations and costings, I say.
71
Or did you do it for love?
72
Love is cheaper for the company.
73
Anna gets really angry now.
74
She turns to Jeff.
75
You think you're very clever, don't you?
76
You and your stupid little company.
77
You're not going to get this Blanding's contract.
78
I see Bissy don't like spending their money.
79
They want better prices than yours.
80
And Steve can give them those better prices.
81
Second, bad mistake, Anna.
82
I look quickly at Jeff.
83
Did he hear it?
84
Yes, he did.
85
How do you know the client is ICBC? he says.
86
You.. you told us!
87
Anna's face is white again.
88
No, I didn't, Jeff says.
89
I said it was a Chinese bank.
90
I didn't tell you the name of the bank.
91
I didn't tell anybody the name of the bank, but the name ICBC was in the Blanding's quotation.
92
So you read the file, didn't you?
93
You broke the passwords, downloaded the file, read it, and gave it to Spark and Flash.
94
You're a hacker and a Do you have anything to say?
95
Anna says nothing.
96
There is nothing to say.
97
She's at the end of the road and she has nowhere to go.
98
Jeff stands up.
99
Get out, he says.
100
Take your things and get out.
101
Sally, please go with her and watch her.
102
I want her out of this building in five minutes.
103
Thank you.
104
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
