Chapter 47: Joe

Six and a half months had passed since Joe had sent his files in. When he went to work as usual that morning, he walked in and sat at his desk. On this day, Joe didn't find his normal stack of work assignments. He wondered where they could be. It was unlike Mike to not deliver them early. After Joe had sat there for several minutes, Mike walked up, but rather than dropping assignments off, he dropped a large envelope on the desk in front of him.

Joe looked at it and then to Mike. "What's this?" Joe asked. Part of him already knew what he might find in it.

His editor shrugged. "Hell, I don't know. It came in last night, and it's sealed and addressed to you. Why don't you open it and find out for me?"
