Squeezable - Part 7 - Preview

With a warehouse full of employees and a distribution system to manage, not to mention being a single parent, needless to say, Rebecca is a busy woman. Okay, to be honest, she has one warehouse worker and an airplane that spends more time on the ground getting repaired than actually in the air. And, my gawd, the endless amount of paperwork. With that said, the one thing, above all others, that she craves the most is a little alone time.

Just a little time, in her office, all by herself...without her younger employee wandering past her door, looking for any excuse to come in for a quickie or her foul-mouthed, drunkard of a pilot just wandering in period...if anything, just to clear a small amount of the mountain of bills of lading that littered her desk. Some days, the stars align and...Rebecca listens as the Sea Duck's twin rotary engines cough to life out on the dock, watching as a cloud of blue smoke wafts past the warehouse's open door. The sound of the engines idling away from the dock fades until, after a few spits and sputters, the plane roars out of Cape Suzette harbor...taking with it the two reasons why she otherwise never gets a moment's peace and quiet.

Rebecca lets out a sigh of relief as she leans back into her office chair, listening to the seaplane's engines drone off into the distance. With any luck, Kit and Baloo won't be back until tomorrow...two or three days if the tired, old Conwing decides to shit a connecting rod and the pair have to put down for repairs on some far-flung shore. Rebecca rolls her eyes ceiling-ward with a crooked, little smile.

Rebecca: (thinking) One could only hope.

And a little 'me time' she shall have...at the $5 tier level. :D
