OCC Fairy Havoc.

Mallory tossed and turned most of the night, wondering if she had done the right thing in taking Rip up on his offer. Her anger and indignation was directed more at Jenkins than Linda. Admittedly, she was good at what she did -- just not as good as Mallory herself. Finally deciding that Jenkins and his pandering ways needed to be outed, she fell into an uneasy sleep, hoping that Rip could pull his genuine imitation Linda act off.

The alarm went of with a jarring brrrrrrrring promptly at six. Weary and a little apprehensive, Mallory put a pot of coffee on to brew and shook Rip awake before going to shower.

"No one should be awake at this hour!"

"Perhaps not, Rip. But we are. I'm showering first. You can do after I'm finished."

Rip looked at Mallory with that look all little boys who abhor washing get on their faces when they're told to bathe. Holding up her hand in front of his face to stop him before he began his whining, Mallory turned and walked back down the hallway.

A half hour later, Mallory emerged, dressed and ready for coffee only to find Rip snoring loudly once more. "Get up!" she hollered in his ear. "Jenkins gets a quick bonk in first thing before everyone gets in the office. You don't want to be late for your first day on the job, do you?"
