"Oh, it's what you do to me. Hey there Delilah, I know times are getting hard-"sang the Plain White Tees.
Jared rolled over in his bed and turned off the alarm. He yawned softly. Another day had begun in Superjail. Jailbot had probably set out to retrieve Jacknife, Alice had probably started her rounds in the cellblock, and The Warden had probably been woken up by his robot a couple hours ago, and was also probably enjoying a nice stroll through his jail. The only thing missing was Jared, the lowly accountant, to be in his office, filling out paperwork as always.
A sigh with a hint of sadness came from Jared's mouth while he slipped out of bed. A feeling of dread overcame him as he trudged to the closet. It wasn't that he didn't want to work; paperwork was child's play to him. It was just the fact that the appreciation level; from his boss was at an all-time low. Jared was used to being unappreciated, unnoticed, and used, yet, something seemed different today.
Jared brushed the feeling off and finished getting ready for the day by putting on his jacket, straitening his tie a tad obsessively, and grabbing the schedule he prepared the night before for his bosses work day. When he opened the door, The Warden happened to conveniently be walking down the hall.
"Sir!" he called as he ran after the taller man.
The Warden paused to let his assistant catch up with him.
"Well, it's about damn time, Jared!" The Warden said, "I've been waiting a full ten minutes for you! I'm not paying you to sleep in!"
"Yes sir," Jared said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Anyway," Jared handed his boss the schedule. "I have a schedule here of things you need to do today. You have to approve some new measures for inmate safety, you also have a video meeting with-"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The Warden interrupted, "I'll read it later."
Then without so much as a 'thank you,' The Warden walked away, leaving Jared alone. The accountant sighed as he made his way to his office. 'Oh well,' he thought, 'At least things can't get worse.'
Little did Jared know, from that point on, things would only got worse.
A/N: Yay! My first fanfiction! Sorry if this chapter is short, but I promise the next one will be longer. I might update either Tuesday or Wednesday, maybe sooner. If there's anything you think I can improve on, please tell me.
I own nothing!
