The Reformation program

Jessica was lead kicking and screaming down an empty street. The old lady stopped at a building that looked like a shop, with a long window stretched across the first floor. Above the window was a sign displaying the shop name 'Permit Office'. She pushed open the door and entered inside with the bound Jessica.

The room was incredibly bland, with a grey setting and mostly books scattered about on shelves. There was a reception desk at the other end of the room, where an office could clearly be seen behind. There were various workers completing different paperwork tasks in the office setting. A young woman with brunette hair sat at the desk, staring at her computer.

The old lady cleared her throat as she approached the desk, prompting the receptionist to acknowledge her. "Oh! Hi Mildred! What are you doing here?" She piped up, seeming friendly. "I'M HERE WITHOUT CONSENT! LET GO OF ME!!" Jessica screeched as the security guard dragged her up to the desk.

Mildred glanced back at the receptionist with a dissatisfied smile. "Ahhh caught another one have we? Our top non permit catcher is at it again!" The receptionist chuckled, bowing as a gesture toward Mildred. "Yes, and this one's heavily dangerous, not just with aggression and verbally, she's a reporter who was going to leave a horrible reputation on our delightful town!" Mildred commented, looking back at Jessica angrily.

Jessica couldn't believe what was happening. She knew some states had dumb rules but this was completely absurd, she made one simple mistake and suddenly she's man handled and insulted. "I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO YOUR MANAGER PLEASE! I'M BEING HELD HERE AGAINST MY WILL!!" Jessica complained to the receptionist, hoping she would have some sense.

The receptionist simply smiled at Jessica. "Show me a permit and I'll sort out a proper apology." She responded, folding her arms. Jessica frowned and let out a "humph". She didn't have a comeback to that statement so she sulked in protest. "Didn't think so, now then, let's get her processed."
