“Meoo
eeeooow!” Fiona replied as
she yawned and arched her back in an extended stretch.
“Yes,
I know … orders are orders but still ... even these have to be questioned.”
Agnes
shuffled through a few pockets inside her cape before retrieving the source of their worried discussion. In the moonlight
she and Fiona stared at a large manila envelope, on which a curious set of instructions were
printed in bold red letters.
Wizard Initiation Program
TOP – SECRET
Do NOT open this envelope until you reach the Golden
Gate Bridge
located in San Francisco, California
Agnes
lowered the envelope and rolled her eyes in a chortle. “Can you believe
this Fiona? Our assignment tonight is considered ‘top-secret’.”
“Meeeowee.”
“What??
… Well?? …Yes, I guess it could be a sign Minister Grough is
trying to loosen up. But still, he is a manager. Mangers should be above
this sort of informal interaction ... Just wait till the girls at work here about this! Top-Secret
indeed!”
With
that final chuckle, and a roll of her eyes, Agnes pried off the official wax seal from the
back of the envelope. She lifted the flap, looked inside and pulled out a single sheet of paper. She looked inside the envelope
again and then shook her head.
“Well!!
... This assignment gets stranger by the moment!”
“Meow???”
