@Bright_OpsAmanda had given a few shortcuts to reduce the driving time but otherwise, Andrew had seemed quite competent. In fact, he was quite good in her opinion. But there were other things to attend to.
She nodded politely at James - he seems rather busy with that woman. Does Amanda know her?
And she needs a moment to try to remember whose office is down here.
However, her first instinct is to go upstairs and ask around if someone covered the Macarios story. If so, if they're still working here. The newspaper business is ruthless, and some people just can't stick around. It'd be better to talk to them - they could still have notes and the bits that couldn't be published in a respectable paper such as theirs. "C'mon." She gestures to Andrew to follow her up the stairs. She'll come back down later, of course. If James isn't busy, it can't hurt to ask him as well.
