Bigby and Snow journeyed together until they finally arrived at their destination, the office of Ichabod Crane.
“So we’re here” Snow said nervously taking a deep breath before tucking a strand of loose raven hair behind her ear.
“Miss Snow!” Ichabod Crane’s voice was loud as he began calling for his secretary even before she had stepped in. Bigby closed his mouth immediately as he was about to say something but interrupted by Crane’s shouting
“Keep it down Crane, we can hear you” Bigby said entering the large office of Ichabod Crane behind Snow white.
Crane was doing his usual routine of sitting at his desk, the man was surrounded in papers that seemed to pack on each day Bigby came in, yet from the way they looked they haven’t been touched.
“The phone keeps ringing Miss Snow! You have one job! You are a secretary, you answer the phones and set up the appointments… is that too difficult for you?”
“You told me to go get Bigby!” Snow White tried defending herself, her face showed signs of anger despite her attempts at hiding it.
“Don’t talk back Miss Snow! I am not responsible for you doing your job! Just wait here! Don’t move” Ichabod shouted moving past Snow White.
“Easy Crane! None of this was her fault” Bigby stepped in, he couldn’t stand there any longer watching Snow get harassed for something she had no control over
Crane began approaching Bigby ready to start yelling but stopped and turned to Snow, he said nothing just stared at her for a moment, his gaze heavy on her, the look of her face was that of confusion and frustration as she hoped he would say something, anything to make him stop staring. Snow exhaled loudly and that is when Crane decided to speak
“Well? Do you not hear the phone ringing?!”
“You told me to…”
“ANSWER THE PHONE MISS WHITE!”
Bigby stood there his fists balled up at his side; he was thinking of anything at this point that will stop him from punching the obnoxious man’s face.
“I called you hours ago!” Crane turned his anger to Bigby, which is what Bigby wanted, at least he wasn’t yelling at Snow anymore.
“Stuck in an elevator Crane, nothing I can do”
“Oh by all means, let me tell the people in danger to just hold on for their lives because the man that is supposed to protect you is busy sitting in an elevator”
“I stood for moments too, don’t leave those out” Bigby replied smugly to Crane’s comment, Snow White stood behind the desk speaking on the phone failed to hide the slight sign of amusement on her face at Bigby’s words.
“This is no laughing matter here Bigby, I expect you to take your position seriously. I cannot run this entire town alone, all the hard work I put in…”
“Mr. Crane, they are requesting to move your massage appointment up to 2 o’clock” Snow White mentioned loudly, it was obvious she did this on purpose but if she did purposefully mention it her face showed nothing of it.
Bigby smirked at the gesture the moment Crane turned around to glare at his ‘assistant’, when he turned around however he noticed Bigby’s arms had crossed as he stood there smugly staring at him.
“Just do your job Bigby…” Crane let out frustrated as he turned around
“You haven’t told me what that is Crane…” Bigby mentioned, the arrogant look still on his face as Crane turned around
