Great grandfather's clock

Megan sat the other side of the desk and talked to Luke's secretary. Megan liked Mary-she was glad that Luke had someone like her to look after him.
She went and sat down in Luke's office. Then she noticed somthing.
She opened the clock. There was a little key inside the door.
She looked down at the papers. They had the signatures of the people Luke ahd made the agreements with. Signatures,stamps,dates. Then Megan noticed something else.
Megan had seen the siganture many times before,on papers both Luke and Jake had signed.
Then Megan has seen realised something else. Only Jake could write that Megan felt a sick feeling in her stomach. She looked at the ashtray and cigarettes on the desk.
