Saving Primary Sanders | A Sander Sides Book

III - ReReconciliation

This chapter turned out way more funnier than I hoped. Do let me know if the laughs per minute rate drops, I need to up the dopamine fuel then!

1200 h

Thomas eats his lunch. He orders two pizzas, one chicken and one cheese. He sat in front of the TV watching the reboot of his old show, and cringing, laughing and crying at all the wrong places.

1210 h

Logan eats his lunch. It is three slices of cucumber, boiled green gram and an apple. Then since it was his cheat day, he adds in an unset yoghurt made from pasteurized goat's milk from Switzerland.

1220 h

Patton eats his lunch. It is a strawberry cheese cake he found in Thomas's fridge. It was probably not very fresh, but he poured a generous helping of whipped cream over it to cover the tangy taste.

1240 h

Roman eats his lunch. It is the cheese pizza, because Thomas could only manage to eat the first before he was too full to take another bite. He, of course, was very sad, but Roman was happy to step in.

1250 h

Remy eats his lunch, or rather drinks it. It is a Trenta, no foam, five-shot half-caf, no foam, pumpkin spice latte with no foam at 210 degrees from a coffee house with a server he particularly disliked.

1300 h

The assassin did not eat his lunch, a measly tuna sandwich he bought from a street cart, because a pigeon stole it when he set it down for one second. He does not mind, as he has bigger fish to fry.

1400 h

Logan holds a brief with his team in his office while Thomas is upstairs playing with a rubber duck and a toy ship in his bubble bath, though you shouldn't let anyone know, definitely not the press.

"Order, please," says Logan sitting down his chair. He placed his fingertips on the table in a power move that made Roman green with envy at his easy command, Patton hot under his collar because attraction and Remy is not there at all, so we do not know how he would react.

"This is not a court, Sir!" says Roman.

"I am aware of that, Bronze."

"We can pretend, if you like. I love role play! You can be the high judge and Roman can be the Plaintiff and I can be the vi-" says Patton.

"Thank you, Patton, that is not necessary," says Logan in a weary tone. "Instead, why don't you update us on the situation with PI Desperanza?"

"Oh her daughter finally charged her phone but then she needed more credit so I sent her some credit then she called back and said that her father managed to run away from the fishermen and what's more, he rescued some tiger cubs they were smuggling so he's a hero but Desperanza is on the run from the police because she shot a fisherman so we still don't have a PI on our case but I asked 3D what happens next and they said they can send us Mr Desperanza if we like because he became a PI like an hour ago because they are so happy they managed to solve a case after so long!"

"All of that in one day?"

"Yup!"

"Mercy me! The Dignitary Defence Division is not what it used to be back when I was acing my certificate."

"That was last year, Sir!" says Roman.

"I am aware of that, Bronze!" snaps Logan.

"So... are we getting Mr Desperanza?" asks Patton.
