Saturday, September 17th 6: 45 p.m.There was nothing unusual about the dinner party. Jack and Donna Gardener were regularly invited next door for dinner at Fred and Tracey Andersons. The Andersons, with their son Josh, lived next door well before Jack and Donna moved in two years ago. The only difference at this night's dinner party was the conversation. Jack was in his early thirties, and was the image of a successful man. He was just under six feet tall, strong, fit, and had regimented a strict fitness program, as he did with most things in his life. He worked as an inside salesman in Bluffington, a small town outside Calgary, for a restaurant and bar equipment supplier that operated out of the Midwestern United States. The company sold a variety products but the bread and butter products were the lower priced items such as storage bags and containers, cleaning supplies, and other consumable items.Jack's territory was the three western provinces of Canada. Although most of Jack's time was spent in the Bluffington office in the small town outside Calgary, processing orders over the phone and by email, he was still required to make monthly road trips to Vancouver, Edmonton and Saskatoon to drum up new clients. He was good at it and business was strong.His wife Donna, in her late twenties, worked at the university just blocks away as a student counselor. The two had met at a Positive Outlook seminar just over two years ago and Donna fell for Jack quickly. Donna, with her poised stature, slim figure, and beach blonde hair was a perfect fit for Jack's personality. It did not take long for the two of them to become romantically entwined.Too much back story for me. I'll return to readingFatal Transaction (Thriller & Suspense, Cyber Crime)
