My name, James William, is called and it takes me a few seconds to register that I'm being called. The man at the counter looks at me a little weird, and I fix my tie.
"It's your turn." He says as he pulls the door open.
"Thanks." I enter and a gust of cold air makes me shiver. A panel of professional looking people look me up and down. I stand there, awkwardly with my hands tied behind my back.
A well-dressed man motions to my seat. "Sit down-" He looks at my profile. "James."
"Thanks sir."
He folds his hands in front of him. "So tell me Roger, what prompted you try for this job?"
"Sir, I just recovered from an accident that left me with Amnesia. I have no memories of my past."
"Okk, I do hope you are recovering well. May I ask why you applied specifically for a job in the CBI branch?"
"Sir, one of your workers was my old friend and she helped me through all this. She recommended that I join here."
He nods. "Ahhh- Laura?"
I shake my head. "Laura is also my friend but I'm referring to Tara."
The counsel members exchange confused glances.
"Tara Brown?" A lady speaks up.
"Yeah, the licensed killer." I reply.
"Isn't that a security breach?" I hear someone whisper.
"She's been through some stuff, she's on recovery leave."
Murmurs ripple through the room.
"She's not even cleared of all charges." A women frowns and gives me a dirty look.
"Quiet everyone." The man stands and everyone goes quiet.
"This is a matter between James and us. Let us not bring Tara into it."
He looks at my profile.
"Well, I'm willing to give you a try. You ready to start over again?"
"Yes sir." I say and take back my portfolio.
I've finally got a job!!
But why are they against Tara? They seem to have some problem with her. I was probably imagining all of it. They just want the best for her and they're concerned about her stressing herself out after all this trauma. Yeah, that's it.
