Where would you hide it?

10. Really good question

And I should have clarified but I didn't know I would get such wonderful and creative responses.

This is in a very small town in AZ. The office of the little local paper. Person taking over was the receptionist, but when the reporter died she was offered the job. This paper reports festival schedules, openings of new businesses, library board meetings, the new dog park, local road construction, greenway extensions, and the like. Nothing really happens there. I'm sure his/her desk is pretty old.

She lives with the person he had investigated and was on the verge of exposing when he died (guess who killed him?). She needs to find this file to move the story forward.
