The moment that Senior Instructor Tim Westnight said that he had several very important announcements, Zeph felt his cheeks clench, and the mention of the mayor made his butt itch and that bad feeling he had earlier in the hall came back even stronger.
On the opposite side of the podium, a man dressed in a formal looking business suit stood up and walked over to the podium.
Even though Zeph had only met him briefly a few times, he immediately recognized the mayor and guessed he was distracted by everything and missed the moment when the mayor had joined them on stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the mayor."
*clapping*
"Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I hope to work with all of you gathered here today and those who are watching remotely to make this city a wonderful and safe place to work and live. Without the hard work and dedication of all of you, Los Diablos would not be the city it is today."
