Breaking News in Column Nine

News castor Callina Jessie

             9:00am on a bright Saturday morning, early fall with a twinge of optimism. The biggest news broadcast, and paper in all of London stands in all it's glory. In the building a hallway outlined in doors, and stats, yells a young inquisitive intern.

           "Jessie, Jessie!," the young intern about twenty short with curly brown hair, running and waving her arms furiously after Callina Jessie. Callina Jessie or as most called her Jessie, was thirty, tall with angular features of a model, with long black hair done in a bun and kind blue eyes. Jessie turned around to see the intern scrambling on down the hall right at her." Are you okay kid?" She yelled over to the intern.

            The intern stopped short of Jessie, narrowly missing her, holding her hands to her knees and panting. She gasped and in between breaths she said," look!," holding the newspaper to Jessie's face,"column nine check it out". Jessie flipped to column nine to see the bolded headline: Blind Girl Wins National Art Contest.

            Jessie looked up her eyes sparkling." I need to meet this girl. Also whats your name?" The intern bolted upright," Catherine Hues." Jessie smiled warmly down to Catherine," want to help me conduct an interview with...Adrian Gaves?"

           "Yes, ma'am," the intern giggled gleefully skipping down the hall. Jessie calmly walked down to her bosses office. Building level A1, office 23. Jessie was on level A3 so she walked over to the elevator. Pushing level A1.

           "So," Jessie's boss sat clearing his thoughts",you want to interview this girl?" Jessie sat up in her seat", yes". "Why would you like to do that, this girl is just another story nothing more, nothing less." She looked over to her boss sitting tall with dark skin, greying black hair, glasses, with cruel black eyes." This girls story deserves to be told, this girl did the impossible! She is blind yet somehow managed to win this competition Mr. Havock, isn't this all the more reason to do a story on her?" He sat behind his desk brooding look on his face," I agree completely. But you will do this story, and it is up to you to show the world, understood? So you get this all set up." Jessie smiled triumphantly," you won't regret your decision!" She got up and started to leave." Oh, Jessie one more thing I should mention." She turned around to face him." We don't have the budget to fit your story in the news tonight. So try and work it out with the director".

            Then she left, realizing how hard this was all going to be.
