The kill

The office in the back of the mall's Meh Burger was the size of a closet's closet, but it was what they had. Neo Death sat on a blue plastic chair and folded her hands, smiling at her manager. She adjusted her hat and glanced around, wondering about some of the stains on the walls.

"So, uh, ND-" She hadn't known what else to put on the application. He looked away from her weird stare. "-Marcus is leaving for school in a week, and we just hired Sarah and Shade- you worked with her yet? She's weird." She shook her head and shrugged at herself while he continued. "Keeps talking to herself... Anyway, we've got people moving around."

"Would you be interested in getting promoted?" She nodded and brightened up. "You'll just have to learn how to run register-" Her enthusiasm died. "-but you'd be a shift lead. We'd just have to do a background check and a drug test, but you'd get a pay bump in about a week."

She raised her eyebrow and then spread her arms, shrugging again. Frank waved a hand. "I know, but it's for everyone. Here, let me get you the paperwork. How are your sisters doing?" When he looked back at her, she covered her eye with her hand and pretended to concentrate and write before looking overjoyed. She smiled at him again. "Oh, she passed? Good, good for her! If she ever wants a job, let me know. We can probably work around the axe."

"Well, anyway, just get that taken care of and we'll start the process. See you tomorrow." She nodded and got up before walking off, swinging over and quickly making two burgers before shiftily putting the bag in her backpack and heading toward Abercrombie. Lexi was probably off too, and she had to form up with her until their War was done and they could all ride the bus back home. She bounced as she headed past people, eye on the floor and quietly happy.
