Letter from Tessa.
I met this "Brian" fella about a year ago at work. I think he's some kind of "Big-Shot" 'cos my partner with the lead ( the one who feeds me ) seems to know him quite well and is always pleased to see him. He isn't the sort to get all sloppy with us workers, and never once slipped me a treat. ( Not ONCE! I know its against the rules ... but rules are meant to be broken, aren't they? 
Mr. Bloody Jobsworth!)
I was going through a difficult patch at work. I'd been running out of enthusiasm for the searching game that I've always done so well. I was facing the Sack, at least an early retirement. What's a Girl to do? I've no family to support me, I've no other work experience, no qualifications. Jeez, I wasn't even in a Union! Things were looking desperate. I'd seen Brothers and Sisters walked out of work never to be seen again. Not that I can read or smart stuff like that, but everyone knows the story of Animal Farm by that George Orwell man. I was fretting I can tell you.
I knew something was really up when this Brian fella came to my work place one day. That NEVER happens, people visiting. He just walked in as bold as brass with his friend. We all started raising the alarm and yelling at him that he'd better get out of there and QUICK. The men folk came out and instead of setting about them, they took them into The Palace and fed and watered them! Next thing I know is that my Man came and slipped me onto a lead and told me to go for a walk with this pair! Really ... a walk! I wouldn't trust this pair with a CAT! Let alone worker like myself! I didn't like this idea at all and let them know! I dragged my heels all the way to the Gate, and here's a thing! They walked me into the Human entrance. We workers ALWAYS go through our special entrance, we are chauffered to work!
Outside I let them walk me around for a while. I didn't pay much attention, I was too busy looking after them. These two men just hadn't got a clue. I honestly thought they would walk us all under a car or a 'bus or something stupid. They bought themselves something delicious to eat, but nothing for me! It was sort of nice seeing places at work that I hadn't visited before, bumping into people that I'd worked with and seen around. However, the talk was of me ... and it began to dawn on me that these clowns were going to take me away! Permanently! Good Grief!
Thankfully they walked me back to my work-place and I recovered my nerves. I began to forget about it. Dave, my Man would surely not hand me over to those two idiots ... would he?
Tess.
