Author note: Hey guys. I know it's been a while, and this is really short, but meh. Thanks to Robin Mask for reminding me! This has been done for a while, I just never got around to posting it! My bad!

"Are you certain about this, Anthony?" Jim rubbed a hand tiredly across his eyes. He'd been working overtime on not nearly enough sleep. "You are fairly new at this; are you aware of the ramifications of your accusations? Do you have proof?"
"Eyewitnesses, sir." Anthony Diggs nodded. "I heard Miss Sutcliff admit it to Miss Tyler and Miss Jenkins."
"You have, I assume, heard the rumours regard Miss Sutcliff?" Jim asked. Diggs shrugged.
"I hear a lot of rumours about a lot of people, sir." He admitted. "I wouldn't believe any rumours that go around the department without some kind of evidence."
"Alright." Jim sighed. "Thank you, Anthony. You may go." Diggs left, closing the door quietly behind him.
The young recruit, only two months on the job, came into the department with good prospects, but not great. He graduated with little distinction or criticism, got a job in a middling rank, at an average pay grade. What gave him the edge that made Jim believe that Diggs was capable of management level working was that he showed something very few other shinigami did – common sense.
The fact that the lad was willing to pass on any rumours he heard unless he had evidence gave Jim that little bit of extra faith in what he'd reported. It would have to be passed on to the Disciplinary Committee. The abuse of an employee by another was no small matter, and once passed on to the Committee, it would probably go to a hearing. All Jim could do was hope that Diggs was right; otherwise there could be a lot of damage done to several perfectly good reputations, including that of Diggs himself.
Still, an accusation was an accusation, and if Diggs was certain, then it would have to go through to the Disciplinary Committee.
