Mavis Pickrell scratched at her chin as she looked at the resume. " I see you worked for this insurance company for twenty five years".
" Yes".
" Nowadays, that's a long time at one company".
" It's the only job I've had since college".
" Mr Buckley, I'm going to be frank with you". She began to skim through some index cards. " I don't have any openings for someone with just insurance skills".
" Mrs Pickrell". Maynard looked at her with sad eyes. " My unemployment is about to stop, I really need a job".
" Well, I do have one possibility". She picked up an index card. " This opening just reached my desk".
" What's the assignment?".
" A boat at the marina needs a deckhand". She smiled. " Are you interested?".
" Yes".
" Good". She handed Maynard the index card. " You need to find a boat called ' the Forgotten' at the marina". She smiled. " Ask for Captain Jack Muncie".
