"Thank you, sir. Erm, I know it probably won't mean much coming from a newbie recruit like me, but I wish you a pleasant day," Mimi said and quickly left the blonde's office.

It took her all of two minutes to get from the Company President's office down to the Turk Commander's office on the floor below, and Tseng was almost to the door when she knocked on it. She was surprised when he opened the door himself and said, "Ah, so you've managed to meet your deadline. As promised, I have another assignment for you. It would seem that Kareno was unable to report in this morning. Your new assignment is to go to his domicile and retrieve some paperwork he has been tasked with completing. I will send his address to your cell phone, and you will have until tomorrow morning to complete this task. I expect both the paperwork and a cup of coffee on my desk when I arrive tomorrow. You are dismissed."

With that, the Wutaian man passed her by and clocked out on his way to lunch. Mimi sighed in relief that she'd made it there on time. A few recruits who had seen and heard the exchange shared looks of sympathy, bitterness, and amusement. "Man, sucks that you got Tseng as your Senior Operative," said a recruit under Elena's command.
