Office Gossip: Chapter 1
A nervous red head walked through the facility; it was her first day at working at GJ. And she was late. Her car had failed to start multiple times. Kim just hoped Betty- the boss of GJ, wouldn't be too angry at her. There was nothing worse than starting off on the wrong foot. As she walked in she was greeted by a canteen, all though a few staff had gathered by the coffee machine. One of them Kim new, it was Will Du, Betty's bitch and snitch. And somehow he had friends… probably all just wanting to hear any gossip about Betty.
Just as Kim walked past she heard the words 'new girl' her face blushed. It was like an older version of high school. She knocked on the door which was at the end of the corridor.
"Come in." The voice was defiantly Betty's- or Director from now on. As Kim opened the door nervously, she was wearing black trousers and a white shirt with a blazer to top it off. With her hair tied up Kim could only hope this was what office people would dress like.
"Sorry I'm late Director, my car didn't want to start." She said lamely hoping it was enough.
"That's all right, the world can stop for you Kimberly." She said sarcastically, all though in Kim's mind it probably would since she had saved it enough times. "Anyway as for your car I'll send a GJ mechanic to have a look at it. As for your job, you are going to start in the office block filing some reports about murders and hijacks that happened this week. Time will fly for you." Betty said sarcastically hey if I have to do paper work so can the world's hero!
The moment Betty had said filing and reports; Kim could only imagine a stack of paper work about the half height she was. And her expectations were right; there stood on her desk was a bunch of paper work, a Dell computer, and a chair. It's not going to do itself so don't stare at it like it will. Kim said to herself. As she sighed and got started…
A woman with Raven hair cursed under her breath at the state of the cars she had to repair, it was one of her jobs as a GJ mechanic. And to remain out of the wanted list of the United States, lucky Drakken- her former employer, had been old enough to retire. Lucky bastard. The green skinned woman thought to herself, she had no idea he was even over his fifties when they had saved the world from an alien attack with Kim Possible and her sidekick. Well experimenting on yourself can do that, as the woman puffed as she opened the bonnet of a Mercedes C2020, its engine looked like it had been hit with a hammer over a hundred times. The timing belt had come off and no one had bothered to even change it, leading to all the moving parts to bang each other, this is gonna need a new engine or replace every part that is beyond repair.
She was just about to start getting the engine out when her phone went off, she took out the iphone and put it to her ear.
"What do you want Bets?" She asked all ready annoyed that her boss had interfered,
"Ah Shego such a pleasure to speak to you, I'm great thanks for asking." She only groaned at her friends sarcasm which was quite hypercritical of her since she was like the queen of sarcasm. "Anyway there's a new girl and her car wouldn't start this morning, I'll send you her address and you can head over." Shego frowned. There was a catch; something in Betty's voice said so.
"Oh and if your free time if you will, wait let me re phrase that you will." Shego just groaned, last time she had said no to the do it in your free time she had half a pay check that week.
"You're a bitch ya know that? A real bitch." Shego said
"I learned from the best now off you go, those cars won't fix themselves." Shego heard the phone being put down, it took all her patience not to storm up to Betty's office kick her arse and shove the phone where the sun didn't shine.
At the end of the day. 5:00 pm
Kim just let her bag fall to the floor as she walked into her room she just let herself fall flat on the bed. Her wrist ached from typing and writing so much, and her neck was stiff from looking down at the computer all day. God I hate work so much. She was just starting a very long cycle. She hadn't even had the chance to see any of her new work mates because she had a large pile of paper work to do; it was like Betty had saved all this up just for her.
She frowned when her door bell rung, quickly looking in the mirror to see if she was at an acceptable level and didn't look like a hobo. "Who is it?" She asked calling out still quite far away from the door.
"GJ mechanic." Strange it was a woman's voice. Oh well can't live in a sexist world. Kim thought to herself as she opened the door.
Kim could have fainted then and there but her pride kept her standing, it looked like the woman in front of her was thinking the same thing.
"You?" they asked at the same time
