"Alex?" A voice said. Alex looked up from her laptop to see no one there. She looked back down.
Alex sat there, clacking at a laptop that was well past its expiration date. What was she doing? Redacting yet another newspaper. A newspaper that no one would read.
"And this would be great for the whole family!" Alex announced, finishing up her newest paper. It was a simple article entitled, Genm Corp Revival. Relaxing a bit in her chair, she took a sip of water. It was incredibly refreshing. Another paper done. But she had plenty left!.
"Now what's next?" Alex asked herself as she waltzed over to a table near by with her bottle of joy pills on it. She picked up the pill bottle, before smiling. Joy was everything to the people of Wellington Wells, and being locked away from the rest of the world made them appreciate Joy all the more. But there was a hole too. The so called bad batch. "When in doubt pop a joy "
She laughed to herself and smiled. Jot made her happy, and that was what mattered to her now. The brown haired girl was already getting excited as she sat down at her desk and began to work again. For Alex, this kept her from falling apart.
Suddenly there was an explosion outside her office. What was that, she wondered to herself . Alex walked outside her office and checked it out. To her surprise two bobby's was standing there. It looked like they had just kicked the door to Prudence's office in.
"Nothing to see here move along!" A bobby said, opening up his hands like he wanted a hug.
"Bobby? What are you doing in Prudence's Office?!" Alex demanded to know, her anger in full force. "Just a downer Inccident. Now kindly move along." The Other Bobby said . Holding his club.
"You know! She looks like she's off her joy!" The bobby said, wielding his club suddenly. Alex grimaced and ran, only to be whacked several times by them. "I hope that hurts you back!"
The two continued to whack Alex, blood flying every time their weapons collided with her. "Goodbye!" Alex yelled, as she got up to run away, one of the Bobby's grabbed Alex and threw her into the air, Alex flew backwards, as she did. Alex smashed through a window and down to the ally way below, the landing enveloped Alex's senses. She heard something, as soon she could not see a thing.
"Alex!" A female voice could be heard yelling.
It took Alex a moment to focus in on the voice. Then she remembered who it belonged to.
"Poppy?"
