First Assignment

“Adelle, Rosaline?” He calls from his office.

I look at Adelle and she nods. We stop our warm—ups and grab a towel, wiping off the sweat on our faces before entering Boss’ office.

“Boss?” Adelle asks once we are inside and have shut the door.

“It is time for your first assignment girls. Training is over. Please report to the Briefing room immediatly.” He says and turns his attention back to the stack of papers on his desk.

We turn to leave, keeping our faces straight like we know we should. We walked down the corridoor perfectly in step, not making a sound. As we passed people in higher ranks we nodded, as was required.

We got to the door and each took a deep breath.

“Ready?” Adelle asks me.

“Yeah, you?” I answer looking the door up and down.

“Completly.” She says. “Here goes nothing.”

She opens the door and we both walk into a huge room full of busy people.

“Finally!” Someone calls.
