One of the Bankers were missing!

Entering the Bank felt like teleporting again into a different realm, as the place was covered in pristine white and shiny gold colors. Everything was perfectly symmetrical, with furniture, paintings, and decor all being placed parallel to its counterpart.

As Willow walked through the spotless lobby, she couldn’t help but feel being watched, almost judged for her presence there. She felt out of place is such a tidy room, no dirt or roots around her, no leaves or grass between her toes. All of it felt sanitized.

“You alright? Never seen gold with a perfect reflection before?” Joy said jokingly.

“No, it’s just, a bit excessive don’t you think?” Willow replied.

“You don’t even know the half of it, Willow. Banker class eleves suffer from a bit of, over compensation, you could say,” Joy explained,

Willow didn’t respond, simply following joy further into the lobby. They pass the elf receptionist, who’s desk was far above Willow and Joy, being at least 4 feet above them. From down below, Willow could tell the receptionist was tensed up, tapping his finger in the edge of the desk and frantically looking around. His eyes almost immediately turned to Joy before leaving over the desk with a panicked look to him.

“Oh thank Gloria! Someone who’s semi-capable of helping us!” The receptionist said.

“What do you mean help? What’s the matter?” Joy asked with a raised eyebrow, shocked by the receptionists plead.

“Oakstaff! He wasn’t here this morning, and still hasn’t came in! The receptionist explained, holding his head in his hands.

“Oakstaff? You sure he isn’t sick?” Joy asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

“That’s what the other bankers thought too, but he would have sent his messenger hours ago! Everyone in there is in a panic! Without Oakstaff, they can’t open our clients accounts! Oh Gloria, why was he the one to bring the keys today!” The receptionist said in annoyance.

“Come on! You’re telling me he has all of the keys!” Joy replied in similar annoyance.

“Unfortunately, yes! It’s a terrible coincidence, which almost certainly means something bad happened to him! Oh please, Joy! Could you please find him, or at least his keys!” The receptionist pleaded.

“Yeahs sure! But when we come back, maybe think of a better security system, okay?” Joy said sarcastically.

“We’ll find him sir! You can count on it!” Willow replied.

This was it, Willow’s first adventure, and a thrilling one at that. As the two leave the bank, they were already thinking of ways to find Oakstaff with brimming excitement.
