Sometime later...
It was Tuesday, not one of Percy's favourites but definitely a day he could live with. It was also the last of his four days with Lucy, and whe he had her on workdays, he brought her with him. His department was already quite accustomed to seeing her at a desk of her own in her father's office, either working on her letters and numbers per Percy's wishes or playing quietly. She was actually quite well behaved at work, which made the arrangement one that was suitable to all.
He thought, however, that she could use some time out of the office, and as he had nothing pressing, he thought it was an excellent opportunity to visit with Uncle George. His brother, however, was not the face he saw when he entered the store, and Lucy hugged Percy's robes as they approached the new person.
"You're new here, aren't you." It wasn't a question, and Percy looked at the man with a touch of suspicion.
