“So I can invoke the clause?” Comet asked.
“Yes.”
You are sure this is legal?”
“Yes.”
“Shoud we check with you know who?”
“Are you kidding!”
“Ok, ok, I know you are right, he would go nuts.”
“Yeah, his little beacon would probably pop right off his nose.”
“We have rarely ever had two new members of the team, but I know there has never been four.”
“Something is up, I just do not know what.”
“Thanks for listening, Percy!”
“Anytime, friend. anytime.”
Percy Pogue punched the off button and turned to his boss.
“Well?”
“He will do it.”
“Very good.”
Percy risked a prolonged look at Atnas Sualc (At-nas Soo-Lac), the man paying his salary. He had no idea what was going on, but suspected it was not good for his friend. He wondered how he got to this point, but knew the answer. Bad bets on the Penguin Spinning Championships had him in debt to Sualc.
The dark featured man feared by many residents of the North Pole tapped away at his tablet, doing who knows what, but chuckling quite menacingly while doing so. Percy immediately regretted leading his friend down this path. He knew there was no turning back for him, Comet, the other reindeer or the big man himself.
Percy stood to leave, not waiting to be dismissed.
“You remember the non-disclosure Clause?”
“Yes.”
“I trust my object lesson from last week was sufficient to motivate compliance?”
“Of course!”
