Chapter 8 continues from yesterday:

Velma was almost finished polishing the twenty seventh mirror with a soft dry cloth when Tom approached.

“You can go upstairs now,” he told her.

Oh, can I? she thought. “I’ve still got three more mirrors,” she explained as she refolded her damp cloth and moved on to the twenty eighth.

“That’s okay, I’ll finish them if you wanna get started upstairs.”

You’re not the boss of me! Velma didn’t bother to argue. What would be the point?

Anyway, as usual she had more important things on her mind. She finished her work, and some of his, and clocked out on time. She’d arranged an interview for the job of Hatchery Hygiene Operative (Night Shift) out in the sticks and she had a train to catch.

In the station toilets she had just enough time to put on one of her subtle but effective disguises before boarding the train. When she alighted at Ipswipe station she looked at the clock. It was 9.15pm which gave her forty five minutes to travel the last three and a half miles to her destination. The run would do her good.

Her wolf-self couldn’t help growling when she reached the farm. It was dark and there was no one around so she de-wolfed, and her job applicant persona walked up to the house. She rang the doorbell and a woman answered the door.

“Hello, I’m Michelle,” Velma told her, “I’ve got an interview for the -“

“You’re supposed to go to the office,” the woman was irritated. “Over there.” She pointed over Velma’s left shoulder and closed the door.

Velma walked to the office and knocked on that door.

“Come in.”
