Wicked Comet part 20
Epilogue
3 months later
Rich sat in an ornately furnished office that had formerly been Morrible's but had been heavily refurbished to suit Rich's needs as well as to remove all traces of Morrible.
It had taken this long already to start Rich's road to redemption (After Rich had gone along with the rumour that Elphaba had hypnotised him and he was working for her against his will), and to start on making Oz better than it had ever been, for starters removing all of the anti-animal laws that the Wizard had put in place. Glinda was now Oz's ruler and Rich was her right hand.
Rich had decided to let the governance of Munchkinland be decided by its own people since he had no interest in becoming eminent Thropp.
Right now, he was signing documents relating to the starting of full scale production of Comet Aircraft, after three more prototypes were built and tested of course.
His own Comet, the original Comet, now known as Oscar Zulu 1 had been salvaged from its crash site in Munchkinland and had been brought to the Emerald City so Rich could start on the long task of repairs in order to get it flying again.
As he did this, Rich noticed a small sealed package which was addressed to him lying on his desk, it hadn't been there when he last looked.
Curiously, he checked it over and then opened it with his pen-knife.
Inside was a small rectangular box of playing cards. His playing cards! The last time Rich had seen his packet of playing cards was when he gave Elphaba them before her 'melting'. Attached to the packet of cards was a handwritten note, the note read,
"You can't bring me down that easily"
Rich just smiled.
