Tabitha led the girl to his room, and took her inside it. Like he had said, it was a total pig-sty. It looked like a bomb had gone off in his room. The girl's eyes widened in shock, and Tabitha only chuckled at her expression on her face.
"As you can see, my room's a total mess……. I'll start on one side of the room, and you'll start on the other. If you run across something you don't know what to do with ask me and I'll tell you where to put it. Okay, enough talk, let's get started!"
Then with that, Tabitha started attacking his side of the room, and the girl looked at the mess for a minute before she dove in too. The girl ran across various articles of clothing, so she started a clothes pile. A few minutes later, she unearthed a walkie-talkie.
She didn't know where to put it so she asked, "Where should I put this?"
Tabitha looked up and saw the object she was holding and said, "Good grief! I've been wondering where that thing went……. Hand it here."
The girl got up and took it over to him, and then she got back to work. Several hours passed before Tabitha's room was fully organized. There wasn't anything on the floor, and the rest of the stuff had been put in the dirty clothes hamper, or on shelves to get them off the floor. After she'd placed the last object on the shelf, the girl sat down on the floor and waited for Tabitha to give her another order.
"Come here." Tabitha commanded.
The girl stood up and walked over to him, and when she was close enough he took her hand and led her out of his room. Tabitha took the girl up to Maxie's office, so that he could put her to work doing something else. They arrived at the door to Maxie's office, and Tabitha knocked.
"Come in." A voice from within the room called.
Now Tabitha reached out his free hand, opened the door and led the girl inside.
"Ah! Tabitha, you're done organizing your room already?" Maxie asked.
"Yes, I am. The slave girl was a big help in getting it done in about half the time it would've taken me without her help." Tabitha replied.
"Good, I'll take her from here." Maxie said.
"Thank you, boss." Tabitha said.
"No problem." Maxie replied.
Now Tabitha turned and left Maxie's office.
Once he'd left, Maxie turned to the girl and said, "So far I haven't had to punish you, and I hope that it stays that way. I really don't want to hurt you, but I will if I have to. So you'd better obey!"
The girl nodded to let him know that she understood, but something was wrong with the girl. She wasn't aware of it, but she had a fever.
"Good, now come along as its time for you to make lunch for the team." Maxie said.
The girl walked over to Maxie, even though she didn't feel too well, and when she was close enough Maxie took her hand and led her out of his office and down to the kitchen. Little did the girl know that something would happen that would make it impossible for her to make the meal for the team.
