13 ANAMNESIS

  LUKE'S POV   The sound of my alarm clock was so loud that it jolted me awake from my slumber. It was nearly 5:00 a.m.After turning it off, I sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I glanced over at my friend Harriet, still sound asleep and covered in sheets. We had a wild night, and I was sure she was completely exhausted.   It took me a few minutes to finally get dressed. I chose a sharp red suit and sprayed on a hint of strawberry cologne. My hair was styled perfectly, and as I looked in the mirror, I knew I was ready for the day's important meeting.   Today, our company was meeting with The Vitality Group to discuss a new project we would be working on together. I had already texted my assistant, Jack, who assured me everything was in order for the meeting.   Last night was a nightmare, with those ruthless robbers appearing out of nowhere and wreaking havoc. We were lucky that the police arrived in time to save us, but the memory of the terror still lingered.
