Chapter three

Marcus’s house: 18.30


Marcus was backing away from the door, his hands stretched protectively before him. A few steps closer to the door there was Jessica, fury incarnated at the moment. She was coming closer to him with every passing second.
“Jess, please stop. Let’s talk about it.” Marcus tried to delay the incoming doom.
“Shut up, nothing you can say will save you now.” The NurseJoy did not stop. There was Marcus, this idiot, without pants, only in his underwear and gray shirt, smelling clearly of sex, and he had the guts to tell her to stop? 

‘I can see this goddamned dress lying next to the table, and this bitch… Wait, where did she go?’ Naked Dark Lady behind Marcus suddenly vanished from Jessica’s sight. One blink of an eye later she appeared between the scared man and enraged NurseJoy, with an energy blade in the right hand and swirling ball of energy in the left.

“You shall die for upsetting Master!” In the eyes of the nude Pokegirl there were only hate and killing intent. 

“Tavion, stop! Stand down!” Jessica blinked in surprise. Marcus’s voice, which she always remembered being gentle and calm, was now firm and full of commanding tones. She watched the Dark Lady dispersing her energy weapons and looking at her Master with questioning eyes. 

“Thanks for your help, but now I must talk to Jessica - in private. Be a good girl and go rest in your Pokeball.” Tavion nodded and went searching for her pokeball in the pocket of Marcus’s pants on the floor. She recalled herself and her ball dropped back on the pants.

Jessica shivered slightly. That was the first time she heard Marcus speaking not like a friend of her or like her lover. That authority… That was a voice of a true Master. He never talked to her like this. Despite her anger for him she realized she liked that voice. This will not save him from her, though.

“Jess, I’m so…” She didn’t let him finish.

“Shut up! I was waiting for you all afternoon and you didn’t even think about coming to visit me, despite the fact that I live at the Pokecenter and it would take you only a few minutes! I was worried about you! You fainted yesterday and that bitch wouldn’t even let me take you home! She was hostile towards anyone who tried to come near you! What’s with her anyway? We know each other for YEARS and you never bought me anything very expensive, and yet you know her ONE FUCKING DAY and you bought her that dress already! Can you imagine what I’m feeling right now? “ 

The entire time she was shouting at him, she was coming closer and closer. When she finished, she was into his arms and punching him in the chest with her fist – without any real strength. After a while she stopped hitting him and instead began sobbing into his shirt.

Marcus did the same thing millions of men before him did in the same situation – he panicked.

“ I’m sorry, Jess, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…” He embraced her and began whispering in her ear.

After a long time of silent comforting Marcus’s brain produced an idea: a way to deal with the problem with minimal collateral damage.

“Jess, please wait for a moment, I have to make a call.” He sprinted in the direction of his phone and dialed Joshua’s general store.

“Joshua, this is Marcus. I must know if my order is delivered already. This is important…. OK. I will be there in 5 minutes.” He grabbed his pants and put them on, speaking in the process:
“Jess, this will only take a few minutes. Wait for me.” Confused NurseJoy nodded and Marcus once again broke into a sprint, this time out of the house.

Jessica approached the table, cold hate in her eyes when she looked over the Pokeball on the floor. She didn’t want to touch it, there was too much disgusting thoughts about it and its contents in her head. Instead she picked up strange black Pokedex from the table. It looked like an old model, ten to fifteen years old. There were much more buttons than in the modern ‘dex and the screen was small, only a half of the device was taken by an LCD panel. If Marcus passed the Tamer’s test instead of Pet Owner’s, he would have been given a ‘dex that would closely resemble a PDA: few buttons, but instead with big, touch-sensitive screen. 

Strangely, there were no producer’s logo on the Pokedex, or a year of production or even a serial number. That was something very unusual, but not illegal. After a Pokedex was purchased, the owner had the right to do everything he wanted with it – without opening the case and messing with the electronics. It looked like this ‘dex was cleared of every piece of external identification that existed. 

Jessica heard quick steps outside the house. She put the black device down and turned to the door. It opened and a slightly panting Marcus entered the household. He was carrying a brown box the size of a shoebox, but it was round. 

“Here, a small gift for you. I hope you will like it.” Marcus opened the box. Inside there was a thick, black anti-capture collar. There were two things, however, that were different from the original design.

The lock on the front of the collar was shaped into a silver circle, with a pentagram turned upside-down in it. The second difference was a relatively large box on the right side of the collar (looking from wearer’s perspective) with a few buttons on it. 
In addition to the collar the box contained two more devices the size of mobile phone, both looking like a small PDAs with an external antennas.

“Marcus, this is beautiful…” Jessica traced silver lock on the collar with her finger.

“It’s a modified Alpha Collar. The bulge on the right side is a locator box. It can tell you the direction in which you need to search for me or for any other collar registered to me. The small device with an antenna is a Super Deluxe Locator: it’s more sophisticated and will show you the distance to the target as well. We both get one – mine is going to be integrated in my belt. Both collar and locator have a few other functions, but I forgot to read the manual, so I don’t know them all.”

Jessica was mesmerized. It was far more than she expected: sure, the fancy lock on a collar was nice and she liked the symbolics, but she never even dreamed about such advanced locator system. 

And then Marcus once more did just the right thing at just the right time.

“Jess, listen, I ordered and paid for this one week ago. Technically your collar is better gift than Tavion’s dress, and it was bought earlier. I just intended to give it to you after you will become officially mine. Besides, Tavion got her dress only because Joshua paid me for my beans in wares from his shop.”

Jessica was almost happy. She was more important than that bitch, she had proof in front of her. There was only one question left:

“When will you get rid of her?” The question was very serious.

“I kinda wanted to keep her. I know, she destroyed my shop, but she was Feral at the time. She didn’t know what she was doing.” 

‘And I like her attitude towards me – being called |Master| so honestly is doing wonders to my male ego.’ There were hidden motives as well, as we can see.

“Technically speaking she only destroyed your refrigerator. If I remember your words correctly, it was you who left an unsecured electrical cord on the floor. Marcus?”

The only male in the house was dumbstruck. After a few seconds his brain rebooted as he realized the consequences of that last statement. He went straight to a wall and started hitting it with his head.

“Stupid, stupid, stupid…” His voice was frantic.

“What is it, Marcus? What’s wrong?” Pink-haired woman did not understand his behavior.

“I wrote the report for the police. I repeated my words there, exactly as you heard them. I seriously doubt that insurance company will grant me any money, because the Feral wasn’t the immediate reason the shop was burned.” Suddenly very unhappy man said.

“Oh you poor thing, don’t worry about it. Your insurance covers not only Feral attacks, but ordinary fires as well, right?” Jess petted Marcus gently on the head.

“That’s right! Thanks Jess, you sure know how to make a man fell better.” A glint of hope was visible in Marcus’s eyes.

“I am a NurseJoy, am I not? That’s one of the reasons we were created for.” Said Jessica with a smile.

“Do you want to try it?” NurseJoy considered an answer to Marcus’s question.

“No, you were right. You will give it to me after you will purchase me from the Pokecenter. The waiting will be a pure torment, but I will endure.” Pink-haired female decided with a smile.

“In that case I am going to take a shower now. Running in that rain outside was not exactly nice. Care to join me?” Marcus knew the answer to his question in advance, but it was always nice to hear Jessica’s verbal response.

“Of course, how can I resist the allure of your warm, wet body?” There was a very cute look on Jessica’s face.

“Come here, my little seductress.” They moved toward the bathroom and the shower, kissing the whole way and undressing themselves in the process.

Marcus hugged his beautiful companion and kissed her fiercely, regulating the water stream with his free hand. They stood there, just kissing for a few minutes, their tongues trying to trap each other in their respective mouths. After a while it wasn’t enough anymore. They were both panting heavily.

Marcus spun Jessica in place, her back now firmly pressed into him, his wild erection sheathed between her cheeks. His hands began roaming Jessica’s front, while he kissed her behind her ears and on her neck. She loved that, her moans being the best evidence. He caressed NurseJoy’s sides, which granted him a series of giggles. Then he moved his hands, almost painfully slow, towards Jess’s firm D-cup breasts. He kneaded them, gently at first, more fiercely later, carefully avoiding the nipples. Jessica almost purred, enjoying the sensations coming from her breasts. She wanted more. She squirmed under her lover’s hands, trying to get her nipples under his delicate fingers. After a minute of struggling she succeeded. The pleasure was intense, Marcus’s fingers circling her areolas, then squeezing the nipples lightly, making her moaning heavily and leaning into his touch. Her nicely shaped butt began to grind against man’s pulsing member, he moaned loudly for a first time. He squeezed Jessica’s nipples harder, listening to her sudden high-pitched squeak and kissing her gently on the neck.

“I can’t stand this… Get in me, now!” Jessica moved again, hanging her arms around Marcus’s neck, with a leg on each side of his waist. He held her rump firmly and picked her up. Then, without being delicate, he slammed her back into shower’s wall and kissed her once more, hungrily. Jessica targeted his penis at her entrance. In one slow, solid stroke, he buried himself in her wet folds. Then he pulled back, getting his shaft almost entirely out of her, and pushed into her again.
Marcus knew Jessica’s tastes quite well. He moved in a pattern: two shallow, quick strokes, then a deep and slow one. He was kneading her butt the whole time. 

NurseJoy’s moans changed into whimpering, then into quiet yelps. He was getting to the point of no return himself and wondered if they can come together, when he heard her whispering:

“I’m almost there. Harder, deeper, faster… DO IT!” He happily followed her wishes. From moving in a set pattern he went to pumping pink-haired Pokegirl as fast and as hard as he could. She began screaming almost instantly, her pussy clamped on his member lightly.

“More, I want MORE!” Jessica’s screams inspired Marcus to set her in the corner of the shower, holding her with left hand, the right one pulling and kneading her little, sensitive clit in time with his strokes.

Jessica gave up the ear-splitting scream. Her whole body tensed and began thrashing. As they were pushed in a corner, they were suddenly moved away from the shower walls. Still holding the wildly orgasming Pokegirl with only one hand, Marcus slipped and fell on his butt. This brought Jess down HARD on his penis. Her pussy milked him relentlessly and he couldn’t stop himself anymore: he shot his whole load into Jessica, screaming his pleasure out into the night.

After that they stood up and washed themselves, kissing every few seconds. Marcus picked Jessica up and brought her into the bedroom in a gentle bridal carry. 

Once in bed, Jessica molded her back to Marcus’s front and purred with delight. Marcus got hold of her breast, his second hand drifted between Jessica’s legs. With happy and exhausted look on their faces they drifted to sleep.


*******
Marcus’s bedroom: 9.00
*******

There was darkness. Soft, warm, pleasant darkness. Again. In the darkness, there was a soft pressure. From behind.

‘Where am I? Oh, I remember, my bedroom. Why can’t I see anything? Heads up, man.’ When Marcus picked his head up, the darkness suddenly changed into white, flat surface.

‘OK, I slept with my face in the pillow. Now what is that thing on my back?’ Quick glance behind him helped clear things up. He was lying on his front and Jessica was draped on him like a blanket, breathing softly. The pressure from behind was caused by her breasts pushing his shoulders and her head lying against his neck. His movement helped to awaken pink-haired woman.

“Yaaawn, what a nice sleep...” Jessica was motivated to stay in her present location as long as she could.

“Get off me, you attractive nuisance, you!” Marcus rolled on his back and escaped Jessica’s grasp before she could hug him from behind. He tossed a quick glance towards an alarm clock on the drawer near the bed.

“Jess, do you have a day off today? Because it’s 9.15 already.”

“Yes, now be quiet and let me sleep.” The NurseJoy drifted into Morpheus’s domain again.

‘OK, what to do for breakfast? Wait, why should I worry about breakfast? There is another way…’ With a small grin Marcus dressed himself up and entered the kitchen.

*******
Marcus’s kitchen: 10.30
*******

A slowly moving, groaning figure entered the dining room.
“Cooffeee….” The figure’s attention was centered on the steaming mug on the table.

“I swear Jess, sometimes you look and act like a genuine Zombabe in the morning.” The smile on Marcus’s face threatened to split it in two.

“Shuuut uuup…” Jessica quickly drained the mug. Marcus was very surprised when he saw that the first time, a few years ago when Jess thresholded: she ingested a cup of hot, almost boiling liquid without any kind of painful reaction. Well, Pokegirls were tougher than humans, he knew that already. Observing Jess’s everyday routine reminded him about it constantly. 

‘It always amazed me. I thought that only Fire – type Pokegirls have natural heat resistance. Well, I was wrong.’ Observing Jessica’s reaction to coffee was funny and didactic at the same time. She drank it for the taste, not for the effect. After gulping down an entire mug, Jessica sighed happily and simply used one of her White Magic abilities (or maybe they were spells? He didn’t know) on herself.

“Esuna!” Jessica’s eyes opened wide, she straightened in her chair and looked over the things on the table. There was a plate full of meat – and – cheese sandwiches (meat was cloned of course), a bowl of vegetable salad and a bottle of orange juice. Jessica tried the salad.

“Mmm, Marcus, you finally learned how to prepare a meal!” The dish was very tasty, maybe a little too salty for her tastes, but good nonetheless. 

“Nope, I didn’t. All these things were prepared by Tavion.”

“The bitch did this? Can she cook as well?” The NurseJoy was honestly surprised.

“Yes, she can cook. And I like her meals. ”

“Where is she, anyway?” Jessica looked around.

“I balled her. You do not seem to like each other. We will work on that later.” 
Jessica’s answer to this was angry snarl.

“OK, she can stay, if only for the cooking.” Jessica gave up. She knew her own cooking experiments could be used only as Feral repellents.

“I thought that was supposed to be my decision, but I’m glad that you approved.” Marcus was very happy at the moment. But he remembered that there was one more problem to solve.

“Jess, I know that you will not like this, but I want to buy a locator collar for Tavion.”

“What!? Why? Mine is a nice present, but what do you need her collared for? You are Pet Owner, not some travelling Tamer! It’s not like you are going to search for your Pokegirl in the woods! Wait… Why my collar has a locator in it?” Jessica realized that locators were far more pricy than ordinary anti-capture collars. 

“Marcus, why do you need ME to have a locating equipment in our town?” Jessica’s eyes probed Marcus’s reactions.

“Remember when I told you that there is an alternative to leaving Tavion’s previous owner for the authorities? This alternative requires a lot of travelling. You will need that equipment. Besides, I will buy something nice for you if you agree.” Marcus tried bribery. 

“If you think you can buy me with your presents… then you are totally right! But I will choose my present myself.” Pink-headed girl’s grin was showing her white teeth.

“What is thy wish, my lady?” Marcus bowed comically.

“You shall bring me… a KATTLE!”

“Thy wish is my comm… Wait, what?” That was surprise of the day for Marcus.

“I want a KATTLE. And I want it alive.” Marcus wanted to inquire about Jessica’s request, but his survival instinct kicked in and made him be quiet.

“Oh… OK, I guess. They are quite cheap, and I shouldn’t have a problem with finding one.”

“Then bring it to the Pokecenter. I am free today, but I need to do something there. See you!” Jessica finished her meal and was gone almost the same moment.

“OK, let’s go and solve some problems.” Marcus released Tavion and went for a walk.


*******
Local Pokecenter: 12.00
*******

Marcus stood next to the ‘center, holding the box with the Alpha collar and the brown tape which was linked to an animal standing behind him. He looked at the KATTLE and it looked back.

“Sorry, little buddy. It’s just business, nothing personal.” The KATTLE were cheap: he bought this one for a five hundred credits from friendly farmer. Sometimes even cloned meat was more expensive.

Marcus’s personal, leather-clad magical artillery platform floated next to him, trying to expose her neck even more for everyone to see her new collar. It was genuine Taylor Industries Beta collar, without any modifications. 

He thought about buying another Alpha collar and locator, but Jessica would skin him for that. He now had two signal transponders on his belt, one for Tavion’s collar and one for Jessica’s. Suddenly he thought about something.

“Tavion, take your collar off and give it to me”. The Pokegirl was a little sad, but she obeyed in an instant. Marcus concealed the collar in his coat. ‘If Jess could see Tavion wearing a collar before I collar her, she would skin me, feed me my own skin and kill me.’

“Don’t worry Tavion. You will get it back before the evening.” He assured the Dark Lady.

“Yes Master.” She was definitely not happy with this, but she didn’t protest.

Marcus went in. Amy was seated behind the reception desk.

“Hi Amy, do you know where Je…” He was not destined to finish that sentence.

“Oh, it’s co cute! Give it to me! See you later!” Jessica appeared, took the KATTLE and stroded in the direction of the taming rooms. 

“What does she need a KATTLE for?” pink-haired Amy was utterly curious.

“I don’t know and I don’t want to know. It’s safer that way.” Marcus was accustomed to Jessica’s antics.

“Mister Farseer, it’s a pleasure to see you.” Marcus turned in the direction of the incoming man. James Smith, M.D, head of the Pokecenter, was looking surprisingly good for a 60 years old man. He was short, completely bald and had a big mustache and a goatee, both white. His clothes were covered by white lab coat. Everyone knew that he worked for the League as a Combat Tamer when he was younger, but he never mentioned anything about that period in his life. People were wondering if he was some kind of black-ops Tamer back then.

“Hello, Doctor Smith, it is nice to see you too. I was looking for you actually.” Marcus prepared for executing his plan.

“How can I help you?” Old man was intrigued. Outside the occasional cold and much more rare Feral attacks there was not very much to do in the Pokecenter, which dubbed as a town hospital. 

“I want to purchase one NurseJoy from the ‘center.” The tension in Marcus’s voice was easy to hear.

“I presume that you rather prefer her to be Jessica than someone else?” The department head knew many things about most of Pokecenter’s employees (or rather property, but no one would say that). Besides, it was a small town after all.

“I do not see any problems with this. The price is 75000SLC.” That sentence shocked Marcus.

“What? The last time I checked a NurseJoy from the ‘center was worth only 45000SLC !” Marcus did not have additional 30000 credits at the moment.

“This is the price for ordinary personnel. Jessica is extensively trained.”

“I don’t remember her undergoing any courses.” Marcus was suspicious.

“The truth is, we invested 30000 credits in T2’s for her. She is relatively low level, but she knows Cura, Love `N' Affection and Curaga techniques already.” Doctor Smith admitted reluctantly. “Besides, selling her for more money is good advertisement for our Pokecenter. People will know that we employ only the best Pokegirls”.

‘You old snobby elitist, what do you need an advertisement for in small town like ours?’ Marcus was somewhat enraged but said nothing.

“Besides, she gives our ‘center good credit by herself. She’s excellent worker. I bet that even now she is doing something beneficial for the town. Amy, where is Jessica?” The doctor asked NurseJoy behind the desk.

“She has a day off and she is using one of the Taming rooms, sir.” Amy was not happy to share that information.

“Then give us a video feed from that room, would you? Let’s see what she’s doing now.”

“Sir, is that a good idea? She may want some privacy there. It’s a TAMING room after all.” Amy remembered the KATTLE and tried to stop Smith’s doing.

“Nonsense! There are no strangers here. Put it on the screen.” Old doctor was definitely not worried about privacy of his |employees|. Amy sighed, turned the monitor around so both men could see the screen and opened a window with the video surveillance. 

On the screen everyone present in the Pokecenter lobby could see the inside of large Taming room, with a free space in the middle. On the floor there was a large circle with pentagram inside. It appeared to be painted with some kind of white paint, or it could be chalk. On the five points where the circle intersected with the pentagram, there were red candles, all of them lighted. In the center of the pentagram lied the KATTLE, restricted with rope so it could not move at all. Jessica stood next to it, the only piece of clothing she had on herself being her nurse hat. She was holding a long, rusted dagger.

“Aaaaaa…” Doctor Smith was stunned.

“Uh oh…” Marcus knew this will not end well.

“Oh, so that’s what she needed the KATTLE for!” Declared Amy, her curiosity satisfied.

“The candles – this color is tolerable, but they should be black .” The Dark Lady was evaluating Jessica’s ceremony site like an expert.

Jessica’s voice sounded from the speakers:

“Prince of darkness, please accept this humble sacrifice. With the power of that life grant me successful transfer to my beloved. Bring quick and unstoppable death to anyone who will try to oppose our union. May their suffering be in…” *Beep* 

Doctor Smith closed the video feed and turned to Marcus.

“You are very lucky, mister Farseer. We have a one-time offer: you can get yourself a NurseJoy for the price of T2’s alone - only 30000 SLC. What will you say?” Old man was sweating heavily.

‘I seriously doubt you are afraid of the supernatural danger, you old geezer. You just don’t want any practicing Satanists on the payroll, right? It would hurt your precious Pokecenter’s reputation. Didn’t you know she was a Satanist before?’ Marcus tried to understand bald man’s reaction.

“I accept. It is a pleasure doing business with you.” They exchanged quick handshake.

“Wow, the ritual is not even complete, but it already worked.” Amy was staring at the wall and thinking about something.

Marcus transferred the money, signed few documents and after 4 minutes (a new record) was officially granted the ownership of Jessica the NurseJoy.

There was strange noise coming from the Taming rooms, something like the sound of stabbing the stone with metal. Few seconds later everyone watched the KATTLE running at full speed to the exit, pieces of rope still secured to its legs. It had a bloody mark on its forehead, but was otherwise fine. 

“Come back here you stupid animal!” Jessica followed the KATTLE, wearing only a loose T-shirt. She gripped blood-spattered dagger in her right hand.

“Jess, come here for a second.” Marcus tried hard not to smile.

“What is it? I’m busy.” The NurseJoy’s attention was focused on the escaping KATTLE.

“I just want you to know that you are now officially mine.” Marcus showed her the papers.

“YES! The ceremony worked! Oh Marcus, I’m so happy…” Jessica almost glowed with joy.

“I am happy as well. Now please turn around.” Marcus opened the box he was holding all this time.

*Click* The lock on Jessica’s collar was engaged. She spun in place and latched herself onto Marcus. They kissed passionately. Jessica dropped her dagger on the floor but no one cared.

“Awww…” Amy was giddy with delight, like the rest of the staff on this floor of the ‘center. Everyone wanted to see the reason of the sudden commotion, so there was almost 30 people (humans and Pokegirls) observing Marcus and Jessica.

The only unhappy person in the room was Tavion. Her Master was more affectionate with this pink-haired whore than with her. The only thing she was feeling at the moment was jealousy. Oh, wait, there was also this sudden killing urge…

“OK, Jess, go and find yourself some clothes. We need to take your stuff to my… I mean to your new home.” The man petted his new – old NurseJoy on the head. She giggled and escaped in the direction of the Taming rooms. 

“And now quick, before she returns. Tavion, come here.” Marcus took Tavion’s collar out of his coat’s pocket. When Tavion was close enough, he ordered her to keep her ponytaurtail away from her neck.

*Click* The Dark Lady imitated Jessica’s behavior and kissed Marcus wildly. There was only one difference: she was humping his leg during the kiss. The crowd was effectively silenced this time.

“OK people, nothing to see here, return to your work.” The head doctor dispersed the staff of the ‘center fairly quick.

“Oh, Amy, there is one more thing: I want to take a Tamer’s test. Could you prepare it for me please?” Marcus freed himself from his (now) overly amorous dark-skinned Pokegirl.

“Sure. You are lucky, we just received a transport of entirely new model of the Pokedex!” She showed him one of the aforementioned devices .

“Wow! Nice. I have a Pokedex already, but it’s a little old.” He held black device in his hand.

“This thing must be really old, that style of the screen is not even produced anymore. The cover looks identical to new one though, at least in shape. And what a stylish color! OK, leave it here and let’s go.” Amy leaded Marcus to one of the rooms in the ‘center for writing the test.

The two Pokedexes lied only few centimeters from each other. The lobby was empty at the moment, so no one could hear mechanically sounding, totally emotionless female voice coming from the black device:

<New components detected. Initiating assimilation…> With the rustle resembling the sound of the dry sand dropping on the leaves, the cover of Marcus’s black Pokedex stretched in the direction of the red one and touched it. Then black plastic seemingly changed its state of aggregation from solid to liquid and quickly pulled League Pokedex in the direction of the black one.

After two minutes black Pokedex’s cower once again changed its state – this time back to solid. On the counter there were two Pokedexes, but only one of them was still functional. The red case was devoid of most electronic components and there was no screen anymore. But the cover was closed, so nothing seemed out of the ordinary. There was small pile of strangely old components nearby.

<Assimilation complete. Accessing new data… New software - acquired. New information – acquired. Standing by…> The red inscription on the front of the black Pokedex flashed brightly one time and nothing more happened.

Jessica was properly dressed now. She spotted Marcus’s Pokedex on the counter. Not bothering to open the cower, she took it. In the same moment Amy returned to her post.

“Marcus is writing his Tamer’s test in room 104, if you want to know”. Amy informed Jessica.

“Tamer’s test? Strange, he did not tell me anything about it.” Jessica was a little surprised.

“Go to him, he will tell you in person. Oh, you took his ‘dex? Good, give it back to him – but only after he’s finished with the test.” Jessica entered room 104. Amy took the red ‘dex from the counter and dropped it back into the box with another ‘dexes. Then she noticed small pile of electronic parts on the counter. Considering it to be ordinary garbage, she dropped the whole pile into the thrash can and returned to sorting documents. 

End of chapter three
