"Did you hear about what happened yesterday?"

"Yes, that poor poor family"

"I heard they were murdered... but that's all the news tells"

"Why doesn't the police do anything about it!? This is seriously getting out of hand"

"Yeah, whoever is responsible for this should be brought to justice!"

Amelia sat in her office sipping on her coffee while listening to the remarks of her co-workers on the latest news. Her latest news. These people wanted to put her to justice. Justice and in this world. She wanted to laugh out loud.

Maybe she should kill them all and get it over with?

She pinched her nose trying to stop the upcoming headache.

"Miss Amelia?", Amelia looked up to see that the voice belonged to Caleb, a man who got employed a week ago and was trying to go on a date with Amelia since then.

"What?", Amelia asked a bit more rudely than she intended to.

"Uh I was just wondering, if you um are free today. We could have dinner together?", Caleb asked stuttering like someone was strangling him and he was having trouble speaking. Amelia didn't like him at all but he just wasn't getting the hint.

"No, I am really busy today," replied Amelia.

"Then tomorrow?"

"I have an appointment with the doctor in the evening"

"Then breakfast tomorrow, please don't say no. I only need a few minutes of your time", Caleb said still not giving up.

Amelia pinched her nose and said something she was sure that she'll regret later, "15 minutes. That's all the time I have."

"Great, thank you! 15 minute's perfect! Uh then I guess we will meet tomorrow at /insert cafes name/ at say, 5:30?

"5:30? Who even wakes up at 5:30? We'll meet there at 7."

"Oh, okay... Well, see you then. Have a great day, Miss Amelia!" Caleb said and walked out of Amelia's cabin.

"What an idiot", Amelia said and started working.
