Title: Francine's Codename
Francine was standing in the elevator, waiting to arrive on the floor of the bullpen. It was only 9:30 and so many things had already gone wrong that morning. She was turning 30 today, which was depressing enough, she prayed that nobody would remember. Her car had a flat tire and she certainly wasn't going to change it. She ended up leaving the car at her apartment and calling a cab, which put her behind schedule. The cab still hadn't shown up 25 minutes later, so she took the bus, imagine her a professional spy taking the bus to work (hopefully no one would find out). She didn't want to think about what kind of people could have sat in the very seat she was sitting in. While she was getting off the bus, the heel on her shoe broke off; at least she kept an extra pair in the bottom drawer of her desk, but they weren't going to match her outfit. On top of all that she was PMSing. Now she was finally in the elevator at work, only and hour and a half behind schedule.
"Ouch!" As she stepped out of the elevator a piece of her hair had gotten caught on one of the buttons on a coat hanging in the elevator. Luckily, no one had noticed.
She thought, 'Nothing else could possibly go wrong…could it?'
Unfortunately for Francine, she still had the whole day left.
She made it to her desk where she sat down and took a deep breath. In front of her was a red gift bag with black and blue tissue paper. Francine hung her head in despair, someone had remembered. 'Well I might as well open it,' she thought.
She brought it down to her lap and took out the tissue paper. Inside the bag was a black witch hat, with a note that read, Dear Wicked Witch, Happy 30th!
Francine was going to scream and explode all at the same time. This was the last straw! Whoever had the nerve! GGGGGGgrrrrrrr! She was so mad! Her face was red. At that moment she took one very deep breath and stormed into Billy's office and slammed the door!
What she didn't notice was that Lee and Amanda were holding in their laughter, hiding in a discreet corner of the bullpen.
Francine stormed back out of Billy's office. Billy hollered at her, "Francine comeback! You can't just leave."
"Oh yes I can! I QUIT! And I'll get to the bottom of this, they won't get away with it! I'll hunt them down, find them, and inflict cruel and unusual punishment!! No one can stop me!"
Amanda looked at Lee, "She's not serious, is she?"
Lee swallowed hard, "Of Course not…"
The End
