So, first thing that caught my eye was the description, \u2018tired business woman\u2019.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thinking she\u2019s traveled somewhere for work but not out of the country, still in the US.
\nShe\u2019s set up in a hotel, hence the simple desk. I didn\u2019t notice the plants until I started writing but they got me thinking. Maybe they\u2019re hers. Maybe she brings a pair of them whenever she travels and keeps them in her office. She always has one on her left and right of her computer.<\/p>\n

Maybe she likes plants. She\u2019s young, single, and has a nice apartment that\u2019s very sleek and modern with a minimalist style, except for plants. She has a dozen? But each one is a different kind?<\/p>\n

That could work. Anyway, that wasn\u2019t even my original idea either. She\u2019s not feeling well in this pic and I\u2019m thinking because she\u2019s been poisoned. Probably when she got off the airplane, someone was waiting for her.<\/p>\n

She works for either DIA or NSA. One of the intelligence agencies but not the CIA. Something more discreet. She\u2019s traveling to a special conference with top-secret work? Someone wants her work but can\u2019t let it be known they took her work so they poison her to make her sick.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s the kind of person who never gets sick either, always shows up on time at work. First to arrive, last to leave sort of thing. This is a big deal and she can\u2019t believe this is happening to her right now.
\nWhen she realizes she can\u2019t power through it, she heads to bed early and that\u2019s when our thief(thieves?) make their move and download whatever is on her laptop.<\/p>\n

Follow up questions would be, who did it? Why? What\u2019s the intel? What happens to her the next day once she\u2019s feeling better? Does she ever get blamed for the breach?<\/p>\n
