"What's The Crisis ?"

"So what's the bloody crisis then ?" Debbi asked angrily. It was an incongruous setting for a business conversation, with Jeff holding his nose against the stench coming from the evil smelling bin and a naked Debbi still standing up in the bin with bits of food detritus slowly dropping off of her. "Er, hadn't you better get out of the bin first ?" Jeff said fastidiously. Debbi raised one leg and began to climb out. She was so used to being exposed now that she gave little thought to the view she was presenting to Jeff as she did so. But, although this wasn't the first time her boss had seen her undressed over recent months, he was still disconcerted by the flash of fanny !

"So, what crisis ?" Debbi repeated as she now stood beside him. "Er, wouldn't it be better if you got cleaned up and dressed first. Where's the executive shower ?" Jeff enquired. "She's not using that with all the crap she's got on her" Angela interjected. "We get hose" Ivan said, eager to help. Debbi conceded that might be the most efficient way of cleaning her up. "You might as well start while we're waiting." she said. "Well, er, the thing is, Carol's admitted that she's bitten off a bit more than she can chew " Jeff began. "Really ?" Debbi said unsympathetically. "Yes, she knows the basics but the responsibility of making financial decisions and dealing with staff is getting on top of her" Jeff continued. "So ?" said Debbi, determined not to make it easy for him.

They were interrupted by a loud squeal from Debbi as her naked form was hit by a jet of freezing cold water. Jeff beat a hasty retreat to avoid ruining his suit. Ivan and the boys did a thorough job of making sure every orifice was hosed clean. "As I was saying. So ?" A naked, shivering and dripping wet Debbi was addressing Jeff in an aggressive pose, hands on hips. "Er, so I've agreed with Angela that it's best for the project if you cease your secondment and go back to your old job" Jeff replied.

Debbi was exultant but she wasn't going to let it show. Ivan and the lads were crestfallen. "You going ?" he asked. "Looks like it Ivan" Debbi replied. "We miss you" said Ivan. Why on earth have I got a lump in my throat Debbi thought ? "I'll miss you too" she said. "I'll come down to see you when I'm here for a progress meeting" she offered. "And strip for us ?" Ivan wondered hopefully. Debbi laughed. "We'll see !"
