Witch’s Sorrow Chapter Two

The lighting in the hallway blinded as Alice walked past Barbie, the receptionist glaring as she adjusted her top to show more of her breasts.

“Mr Wild, if you are finished with the show would you please follow me,” Alice said politely, not needing to explain what she meant by the show.

She felt his tension behind her a second later, an ominous presence that stormed past her towards the lifts at the back of the floor, easily manoeuvring through the maze of drab grey cubicles spotted around in a confusing labyrinth. The only way to distinguish each cubicle from one another was the bursts of colour pinned to the walls, individuals trying to personalise their little space in a sea of grey.

The Supernatural Intelligence Bureau, also known as The Tower, was on constant speed, everyone having something to do or somewhere to be. The forty-second floor was the main operation for the Paladins, a small desk to prepare for contracts as well as their boss, Commissioner Dread Grayson’s office. The other floors contained I.T. technicians, weapons specialists, mailmen, just to name a few. There were even a whole five floors dedicated to a specialist hospital team who worked alongside the London Hope Hospital, England’s largest medical facility specialising in holistic magic as well as general medicine.

Alice stood for a moment, trying to catch her breath.

“Great,” Alice whispered to herself. “Just great.” A lump in her gut, nerves attacking. “Maybe I could get a job with Sam at the bar?”

“You can’t do that, you hate people,” a chirpy voice replied.

Alice smiled when she noticed two people hanging around her cubicle. “What are you guys doing here?”

What sort of friends would hang around to see if she was fired or not?

“I thought you guys were both out on a contract?” Rose and Danton (or D as he was known to his friends) looked at her expectantly, waiting for the gossip.

“We were ma petite sorcière. But I missed your belle smile,” D sighed dramatically, his long black hair scraped back off his face.

Rose elbowed him in the chest. “Ignore him, we finished it up early.”

“Mon amie you wound me.” He feigned hurt, his pale hand draped dramatically over his heart.

“As Roselyn was saying, we finished our expèdition early. But enough of that, I would like to know how ma petite
