work day

It would have been a great day today, but this morning in particular, I was jealous of Jesse. She captured the fiery sword of flight when the gang went questing last night while I was working until close. So, this morning when I was heading out to the roller coaster I worked on for another open to close, I was rather upset to see her ride in on her knew toy.
“No magical items on the job,” I yelled protacal up at her.
“I don't punch in for another hour,” she yelled back.
“Fine then!” I yelled into the sky as I walked to the morning meeting location. No one was there yet, but they all had twenty-five minutes.
“You are here early,” my supervisor said to me as she walked up. And, I shrugged.
“What is the pre-sold ticket sale for today?” I asked.
“One hundred Did you see Jess's new toy?” the supervisor smiled.
“I saw it,” my eyes rolled.
“Pretty neat, huh?”
“Mmm. one hundred is pretty low,” I spoke.
“Well the weather is supposed to be pretty bad today,” my supervisor informed me.
“Oh, how bad?”
“67 degrees and torrential rain all day starting at ten.”
“Yippee,” I tried to act like I was facetious, but I was glad to have a light work load today.
“There might be some electric action this afternoon”
“Exciting,” I droned at what I hoped meant the closing of the ride.
Eventually the rest of the crew had gathered at the meeting place and we had our morning meeting. After discussing the importance of not letting people with casts on the rides and other official business we went to clean our ride and make safety check.
“I thought last night's quest was your idea,” a co-worker mentioned as we scrubbed down seats.
“It was, Heidi.”
“Then why were you not there?”
“I had to work until close.”
“That sucks!” Heidi said.
“So, last night went well?”
“There were big explosions.”
“And, I saw that Jessica got a fiery sword of flight.”
“We met that one drunk at that bar off main street.”
“Jacob?” I clarified. Jacob was my favorite informant.
“That is right, you set him up for us.”
“We go back.” I said recalling my childhood memories with the old madman.
“Well, he gave us this map that took us to this spot behind the mall.”
“And you called out 'Ferk tuk Lemtern; Mardin shawthith Marn'?” I suggested recalling the first time the six century old man gave me a copy of that map.
“Yeah. And a portal opened up to a chamber walled by red stones,” Heidi yelled at me as we were now done wiping the sets and were now checking the safety gates before the team launched the train for its test run.
“The starting room of the ZarkTernith caves?” I stuck my thumb out letting her know that I was ready for her to push the release button.
“Yeah, that sounds right,” She pressed the button and gave me her thumb. I gave a high thumb to the control both and the train launched. When it got back we started to re check the seats as one of the team got into the front for the test ride.
“Today is going to be interesting,” Heidi looked up as the sky turned emerald and a flock of Phoenix dove into the parking lot.
