Smile, Jane. Smile!

The continuing adventures of Bondservant. Jane Bondservant.

When we last saw our heroine, she was at work in the school office, and saw the car of her nemesis, Dr. Jose Noway, drive up in front of the school.

See Jane.
See Jane hold very still.
See Jane wonder where she put her super-silent, ultra-compact stunner gun.

(Because of course, she wouldn't dream of bringing a deadly weapon into a school building. She must put the safety of the students first, even if those same students need a serious lesson in respect for their elders and not talking with their mouths full.)

See Jane smile as Dr. Noway comes through the door.
What is this?
Dr. Noway has two young children with him.
Two little girls.

"Hello," Dr. Noway says. "Can you help me? I want to register my nieces to attend this school."


See Jane smile.
See Jane keep her hands on the counter, when she wants to reach for the nearest weapon or the fire alarm.
Dr. Noway has nieces?
Jane did not even know Dr. Noway had a family.

"Welcome," Jane says. "If you want to take a seat, I will go find the proper paperwork."

See Jane walk casually to the next room, when she really wants to run for her life.

What will Jane do next?
Check back here later for the next installment of the continuing adventures of Bondservant. Jane Bondservant.
