Being in the right place at the right time...

Or being in the wrong place at the wrong time…

Dom was working here last week when a member of the public came down the stairs and told her that someone was going to throw himself off the top of the tower. He was quite calm so Dom thought that he was joking at first. He insisted that he wasn’t, so she ran all the way to the top. She found the man and managed to calm him down and persuade him to go downstairs with her. Then he ran away. She reported what had happened to her superior who notified the police. We’ve looked in the newspaper everyday and no reports of a suicide locally so hopefully he’s okay.

When she started work Rob told her that the job would be rich in case studies for her, but I don’t think meant that kind of thing. The last suicide attempt from that tower was in the early 90s. No one works there now from that epoch and the archives of the local paper online don’t go back that far.

Kimberley: I'll tell her. She would like to know if he's okay though.
