As evening fell in cubicle land the cleaners dropped in to share their pilfered biscuit supply with Jason. Jason didn’t say hello when Agnes spoke to him. No one ignores Agnes – especially if they want a biscuit. Agnes is a woman that Russian ninja bull-fighting Sumo Mafia members have respect for. She noticed that Jason’s usually jiggly leg was still – and after prodding him came to the obvious conclusion: Jason was quite dead.

The cleaning team with their Hoovers and toxic polish deal with dead rats, mice, pigeons and the occasional cat on a regular basis. A long time ago Agnes had dealt with a dead penguin but that was a whole other story! Whatever had happened to their friend they knew what to do.

Agnes picked up Jason, seat and all and shouldered him like a hod full of bricks. Together the cleaners headed to the furnace room to say goodbye to their friend. And to have a nice warm cuppa and maybe a few stolen biscuits.
