What's next?

Damage Control

The file closes, but the anger doesn’t. It churns just under my ribs, hot enough to burn away the fatigue. Fine. So he thinks I ruined his life. He’s wrong, and I can fix this.

By the time the transport levels out, I’m already building the plan.

Step one: Demotion time!

Send him to the worst possible job in Dominion Helix I can possibly think of! Maybe even off Planet, on some dangerous asteroid in the middle of nowhere. Vera liked the sound of that. A mighty wizard imprisoned on a rock in the middle of space. Let him abracadabra his way out of that she thought.

Step Two: Spin

Helix eats rumor but worships paperwork. I will file a security report….. I stole my credentials…He broke into Brad's Office… and assaulted me! A little video editing on the security footage would do the work. And Magic! Anything that can’t be explained can be explained by his being a wizard.

Step three: clean the evidence.

Make sure the secure his phone when they are hauling him off, and destroy it…. Because it has valuable intellectual property he was trying to steal.

I let out a slow breath and flex my fingers until they stop shaking.

There. A plan. A good one.

He might be a wizard, but I’m an executive. I’ve destroyed bigger careers than his with less effort.

I started tapping on the panel to start the demotion process. Filled out the forms. Sent in the Security report.

Ha, I thought. All his efforts were wasted. By the time I get to work this will just be a terrible memory. He must have been planning all this out for a long time, and I just undid everything on my morning commute while sipping coffee.

Vera thought of the idea of Sir Tim on an asteroid, breaking rocks and smiled again, and smiled.
