Over the years, I realized that being a pet finder wasn’t exactly the best job for me. It didn’t challenge me enough, and I rarely had to do anything special. Unlike Gretchen, my once temporary partner, I didn’t have a job that basically is fun and challenging. Not that being some crystal ball reader is the best thing in the world, but she enjoys it.

There was a time where I actually did something. That was like, eight months ago. I actually still got money for that job, but I didn’t really have to do anything, which was disappointing.

When I finally got that call from the government, my heart skipped a beat in excitement. Not only was I finally going to do something relevant, but I got to see Gretch. I practically ran to her little business.

“Gretch! It’s so good to see you!” I said.

“Jonah! I’m glad too, but… What are you doing here? You’re holding me up.”

“Gretch, the gov called. They finally need us. Urgently.”
