More from The BRAT Stalker, my new tale! This is my way of helping you all assimilate into a totalitarian new world order. You’ll thank me when you have your RFID tags shot into your backsides
Agent Darby quirked a brow at the flippant response. “Is that so?”
“Yeah,” Chase replied, letting the boredom of the past six years ooze out of her every pore. “I will spend the next 30 years of my life sitting in a chair and staring at a glowing screen if I’m lucky. You think you have some fate more horrifying than that up your sleeve?”
“You could spend the next 20 years not able to sit,” Agent Darby uttered in a threatening murmur.
Chase practically laughed in her face. “Is this interview about to take a turn for the Matrix? Is my ass going to melt shut?”

“Clueless, utterly clueless,” Chase muttered from her position on the 10th floor, as she prepared to squeeze the trigger.
Creaky-creak went the office door. Alt-Tab, went Chase, bringing up a glowing spreadsheet filled with complex numbers that hurt her brain. Gordon poked his head around the door. “Are those numbers ready yet?”
“Not quite yet, Mr Black,” Chase replied primly. It was no wonder they were not ready yet. 6 hours after loading Grievous Bodily Harm: Freedom City onto her work machine, Chase’s productivity had never been lower.
