"Here you are. Your new assignment." I stared down at the small white sheet of paper. The only thing on it was the name, age and location of my next assignment.
"Maggie, age 7, New Orleans. Is this a joke?" I slammed the paper down on the assistants desk. She jumped back, freight clear on her face as she immediately got to work typing away on her computer.
"I'm sorry sir. There seems to be a mix up with the paperwork. I can submit a corrections form, but it would be months before it even gets looked at. Then you'd be looking at another few months before your new assignment." She fixed the large rimmed glasses and stared at me. Her face had gone from fearful to apologetic.
"Damnit!" I slammed the chair behind me into the floor. "What am I supposed to do with a child?!
"I-I guess whatever the child wishes?" She stammered out.
"Fine. But I want that request submitted. I don't care how long it takes." I stormed out the small office, making sure to slam the door behind me with such force it caused the building to shake.
What am I supposed to do with a child? I sigh and continue on to the portal. The best thing to do would be to get the introductions over with and hope she is too scared to summon me again.
