this is A CLOSED thread for Opensesame54321 and crraven
Jacob Myers had his doubts about the young copy girl that the head office had settled him with a month ago.
“Mr. Fish!”
Myer’s ’s voice boomed across the boisterous chatter of the news room as he called for his personal assistant. The young man, in his mid twenties, came running on the double. He had learned that it did not pay to keep The Boss waiting, not if you valued your job.
“Fish tell Miss Applegate I want to see her in my Office on the third floor in ten minutes. Tell her if she takes eleven minutes, than she well be seeking employment somewhere else. If she desires to continue work for the Mercury News Servesshe will not be late.”
Michael Fish turned on his heel and headed out on the run for the news room hollering at the top of his lungs,
“Miss Applegate, Miss Applegate.”
Five minutes of the hapless girl’s ten minutes had already slipped away when Fish finally located her in the achieves.
“The Boss……(ha…ha)… wants to see…..(ha….ha)…. you in the citadel……(ha….ha..) in ….”
Fish consulted his pocket watch;
”….in five minutes Miss Applegate.”
Michael Fish was bent over at the waist his hands on his knees as he fought to catch his breath.
“The Boss is really on the warpath Susan, never seen him so mad.”
Everyone who worked for the Mercury News Serves knew that to be summoned to the citadel by the Boss bode ill for the recipient of the summons.
Jacob Myer’s pocket watch was open and in the palm of his hand as he watched the minutes tick by. The second hand had just marked minute nine’s passing when he heard the soft knock on his door
“Enter Miss Applegate”
There was no emotion in his deep dark voice. He held the young girl in the unblinking gaze of his cold hazel eyes.
“Not happy as a copy girl……, so eager to get out into the field?........Your an intern Miss Applegate!”
Each word was slowly spoken, and clearly enunciated. Each word spoken as an accusation rather than a matter of fact.
Jacob had left Susan standing before the massive mahogany desk, everything about the office was designed to make the hapless victim feel small insignificant and there was never a chair for the condemned to sit in. Before Susan could answer Mr. Fish burst into the room. The fear in the young man’s eyes for having violated the citadel without being called for was obvious in his shifting eyes and the nervous tremor in his voice as he spoke.
“Jim Douglas is missing Sir…… the news just came in over the ticker tape.”
“Damn!”
Myers ran his fingers through his ginger hair, the little blonde haired Midwestern girl forgotten for the moment. Jim Douglas was the Mercury’s Foreign Correspondent that was assigned to cover the Italian-Abyssinian war in East Africa. The region had become a hot bed, a provocation, which the league of Nations seemed unable to deal with, even after the Abyssinian Emperor Haile Selassie implored the League to sanction Italy and come to Abyssinian’s aid.
“Fish call Idyllwild Field and find out when the next PANAM clipper leaves for Lisbon and then connections to Cairo.”
Then Jacob once more turned his undivided attention to the little blue eyed waif, before dismissing her with and impatient wave of his hand.
Carlton Fish was jotting down the flight information that the Boss had asked for as Susan was leaving the Office, and held up his hand to indicate the young blonde should wait. When he had finished scribbling down the information he handed Susan the slip of paper.
“ Take this down to dispersing………..,have them make the arrangements……… and I’ll tell them who the assignment is for. “
It seemed that fate had dropped the opportunity to become a real reporter into her lap. All she had to do was to tell dispersing she was the assigned reporter. A chance to be more than a copy girl, more than just a bit of office fluff.
