Dauntles Black Heart

Ch15

Ch15

Today is my first day at work. Eric comes over to help Thomas get ready. The three of us set at the table in the kitten, we eat muffins. Eric wheels Thomas to the parlor I walk next to him. I wave to Kayla and Eric and I walk into the elevator. Christina said I should wear a tight dress and 4 inch heels. I said no to the dress but I tried the heels, I nearly broke my ankles. I'm wearing a somewhat fancy outfit. The shirt shows the cuts and bruises.

Eric steps out first I follow, people look down at me I try to cover my arms with my hands although I know that doesn't work. They look at me until we turn to another hallway. "Don't let them get to you." He says. Then I see three offices, the first one is Uriah's, Max's, and Eric's is in between. There is a desk in front of each door, it set in the one in front if Eric's office. "Here is a computer to type summaries, you need to deice what calls are more important. The important ones send then to me, the ones that are complaints from dauntless make a list and give it to me every other hour, and if Jeanine calls tell her that she will get in touch with me soon, but don't send me the call just write it on a list and give it to me at the end of the day. If you need anything just call or walk in." I set the computer on my desk it is silver.

Then a bleach blond, tall woman walks in and sets at the desk in front of Max's office. "I'm Marabella." She says. "I'm Emerald." I say to her.

"No, you must be amity."

"What?" I'm so confused.

"That was cute." She says.

Then a man walks up behind me. "I'm George. Marabella is good at confusing people."

"Shut up Georgie" she says.

"My name is George." He says.

"Well your nick name from me is Georgie." She says and he rolls his eyes. I start reading what has been going on in dauntless, other factions, and the factionless. There has not been a lot of agreements between the erudite and factionless, and the erudite are attacking the abnegation, nothing new. There has been a few calls, three from Jeanine complaining that there should be more police by the factionless and she was trying to persuade the other factions to get the abnegation out of the government. I bring the list of calls for that hour then I set on Eric's desk.

"Make yourself at home." He says.

"I was planning on doing that anyway." I say

"Who is Joey?" he ask

"I have known him since I was little, he was like my older brother, I told him everything, until he transferred."

Then there is a knock on the door, 'come in." Eric says then Max walks in.

"Can I borrow her for a minute?" he asks Eric nobs turning back to his computer, I jump off the desk and walk behind max.

"Organize these files for me." He says motioning to the huge stacks of files.

"What no please?" I say as a joke. Max the turns to me grabs my color and hisses "don't ever talk to me like that again." He says then storms out the door slamming it shut. "What did you put in your coffee this morning?" I say under my breath as Eric walks in, he laughs a little then clears his throat. "Are you okay I heard yelling and then a slamming door, and I figured you started talking without thinking, like you always do?" I smile and tell him what happened, when I said he grabbed my collar Eric got mad and I asked him not to tell Thomas, or at least wait till he is out of the wheel chair. Then he goes back to his office, and I start filing. I'm filing files on the people of dauntless, inside it states their fears, what faction they were born into, their family, medical records, and other stuff like that. I file in alphabetical order by last name. Around lunch Eric comes in "I'm going to lunch, you coming?" "No" I answer. "Want me to bring something back for you?" "Nope" I say not looking up from my work. He later comes back and throws an apple at me. "Think fast" he says, I catch it and set it on Max's desk "thanks" I say, and get back to my filing.
