laptop, but listening in all the same.
“Other than you will kick our asses,” Jay teased.
“She always did that before,” Gus, the head of welding said. Everyone in the room laughed.
“I mean to say that you guys know how to run your departments. Everyone hired and fired has to go through Mitch and myself. You have to ok your schedules through me instead of Defray. Other than that, I will be coming in to check on you guys throughout the day to get product out. I didn’t do that so much before, but now it will be me asking all of you questions.”
“What if Defray wants to push something ahead or into the schedule,” Jay asked.
“Then you send him to me.” Otter said.
“He won’t like that.” Gonzo said.
“He can discuss his likes and dislikes with me in Michael’s office,” Mitch said. “Mackenzie sets the schedule. Does anyone have a problem with that?”
Everyone shook their heads.
“Nah,” said Jay. “We’ve all worked well with her before. I don’t see anyone having an issue now.”
Everyone nodded, no problem here, nope no problem. So Otter sent them back to their departments.
“This is going to be a good move,” Mitch said as he got up. “Michael is going to be very pleased.”
“I hope you’re right,” Otter said. She went back out to the floor to start working out her new routine.
That day they shipped several sizes of dental drills, a race car got its new aerodynamic rims and a knight getting ready for a medieval festival got his suit of armor. A knife maker got his engraved knives back and had to get started making the custom handles so he would be in time for the Christmas season.
Some repair parts, made of an exotic alloy, were shipped to a company back east. They had scheduled these special pieces to be launched into space where astronauts would use them to fix sections of the International Space Station.
After Otter left for the day, Ron Defray angrily stormed into Michael’s office and demanded to know why getting Clark’s office did not mean he was getting Clark’s powerful new computer.
“Tempest is throwing me a congratulations party on Friday,” Otter told Annie as they drove up the I-17 access road heading for home. “Would you like to come?”
“I think we can make it. It will get Paul away from the TV for one night.”
“Good. I hope you can.”
“Sounds like fun,”
“And I think this weekend, is the one where Tempest wants me to go to a fetish ball with her to evaluate a client’s venue.”
“I want to go,” Annie said with an enthusiasm that surprised Otter. “You never ask me to go to the fun stuff.”
“Do you know what a fetish ball is?”
“Oh yes, whips and chains and leather goods. I love leather. Please, please, please ask Tempest if it would be ok for me to go.”
Otter wasn’t sure what to say for a minute. You just didn’t know about people she thought.
“I’ll ask her.”
“Thank you! We’re going to have the best time.”
“Well we’re going to have an interesting time anyway.”
“Will there be a slave auction?”
Otter wasn’t sure she could handle this.
“I don’t know. I imagine so.”
“I hope so; I’ll bring my credit card. Last time I bought a slave I almost didn’t have enough cash.”
Otter pulled to the side of the road and turned to Annie, “Don’t tell me you’ve bought a slave before.”
“Oh yes,” said Annie enthusiastically. “It was at a charity auction for cystic fibrosis, I think. I got him for the weekend, I had him wash all my windows and strip and scrub my floors.”
Otter stared at Annie for a few minutes. “This isn’t that kind of slave auction.”
“A slave is a slave,” Annie shrugged. “Once you own them, they have to do what you say. I have a patio that needs to be painted and if he does it in a little G-string all the better.”
“OK, if you say so,” Otter said, guiding the truck back into traffic. I hope Paul is ok with you going.” Paul, Annie’s
