8 Got Toys?

ROSE STEERED ME OUT of the office. “Grab your purse. It’s hunting time. I hope Doris crammed in a few years’ worth of knowledge last night.”

I waited while she collected her luggage-size purse and we walked out together. Sharon’s eyes tracked us over the rim of the desk. Rose told her good-bye and I waved. Sharon didn’t blink.

Anticipation warred with anxiety as we crossed the parking lot. I was eager to take out a few imps and prove to Mr. Pitt that I could be useful. I’d performed miserably yesterday, and it was a small miracle I still had a job. But was it a job I wanted? Doris had claimed that I couldn’t get rid of soul-sight, but that didn’t mean I was ready to barrel forward along this career path. I’d felt so righteous last night, cleansing evil from the world, but lower than a cockroach this morning for harming Mr. Bond. I had a wealth of ignorance and a pittance of skill. What was to say I wouldn’t do more harm than good today?

Give this job a chance, I reasoned with myself. And perfect recharging! If I still didn’t like the job in a few weeks, I’d quit then, after my bills were paid.

Plus, I had done very well last night, I reminded myself. Doris had said I was a natural. She may have added something about how I was as naturally gifted as most teens, but I took it as a good sign. If there were teenage IEs in charge of other regions, at least I was good enough to keep up with them. The only nagging problem was that I didn’t know what I was supposed to be doing.

“What did Mr. Pitt mean, something was blipping on and off his radar?” I asked Rose when we were cruising along in my Civic.

“That’s the warden’s job. Brad lets us know where things are getting dark in our region and sends the appropriate people to fix it.”

“It won’t always be me?”

“Nope. We all pull our own weight. Like how today I’m along to make sure you don’t end up rolling on the ground in terror. Again.”

I decided to change the topic. “Is Mr. Pitt always so, um, eloquent?”

“Nah. He’s in a mood today. The sooner you’re performing up to par, the better. The fact that not knowing what you’re doing doesn’t slow you down will definitely help. Kyle was all about planning, doing research, developing a strategy, and thinking things through before jumping in. You must learn best by doing.”

“Something like that.” How did one go about researching evil, let alone developing a strategy?

“There’s our spot.”

We passed a construction site on the left side of the road, a landscaped divider forcing us to travel up the hill to the next light before backtracking. There were a plethora of “No Parking” and “Trucks Only” signs at the entrance, so I cruised beyond it again, finding parking on a side street nearly four blocks away. Rose and I got out and walked back, and I was cursing my heeled shoes before we’d gone two blocks.
