Rest Iris

It was more lively than usual at work today,why? Well it seems that my boss is assigning a new colleague for me.Not that im apart of all the "excitement" that filled the air.

I was satisfied with my old partner.They were always the one to lighten up the atmosphere with a joke or two.
One time there was a really big lady who died of a car crash, it was a pretty gory scene until they blurted out of nowhere "Damn,they're gonna need an extra large urn".
Im a sucker for dark humor,I admit it.

"This might be your big break,Diana".
My boss,Gilbert said as he handed me some files.

"Is this about the new colleague thing?" opening the files the first thing I see is 'Effie Orlem'.

"Actually this is another client" he said.

"But..what's with the file? Don't you just-" Gilbert cut me off short.

"Sal and Gary's client was a politician with a wealthy family,they kindly offered us more money then what we ask for...So now we can actually pay for something other then the employees'"

I didn't answer back."Go ahead and look through it"

"Okay..."

Effie Orlem

There was also a picture around early adulthood of her attached to the side of the file.

"Unknown medical conditions?"I asked.

"Yes,there are no recorded files we could find on her health" Gilbert replied taking a sip of his tea.

"That's unusual" I gave the file back to Gilbert."You can keep it you know".

"I like doing my job the old fashion way,Gilbert" I said.

"Suite yourself" Gilbert set the file aside.

"Now about my new colleague..."

"Curious aren't ya? Well good news for you! He's single!" Gilbert gave me a wink.

"That's not what I was gonna ask about..." I replied .

"Oh..."

There was a short awkward silence.

"Uhm...Is this person a psychic medium like me?"

"Nope, he's a psychometry user"

"Wow...that's actually a useful power to have.Where did you find him?"

"Interesting story,I saw him at a local Walmart when I was shopping for some aged cheese."

"Yeah yeah yeah..I know you don't have to tell me"

Gilbert rambled on about the reason why he hired him and other things unrelated to the topic.I managed to escape the conversation before he started getting into other unnecessary topics.

Suddenly I hear a knock on my office door.My first thought was 'Gilbert'.Oh great,I said to myself.Just when I was in the middle of a good book.

"Look i'm not interested in another colon surgery story-"

After opening the door,I realized that it was definitely not Gilbert.
