Jacen hated his job. He hated his job more than he hated anything else in the world. Working for the government wasn't all that bad. It had its benefits at least. Insurance. Retirement. His family's safety. Well, that was most important really. They could shove their insurance and retirement plans up where the sun don't shine for all he cared. The only thing he wanted was for them to leave his girls alone. Of course, this meant he had to be their little lap dog, but he was willing to do that for Annie, Alia and Aria.
The digital file flashed in front of him and he used his fingers to scroll up and down. His exceptional memory meant that he had to stare at files all day, memorize them and add to them whatever he remembered about the people whom they belonged to. It was tedious and often times boring work, but someone had to do it. And Jacen was their guy. He added a few notes to the file of a deceased girl. He remembered her from school, but it wasn't anything significant enough that he had to spend too much time on her.
"Mister Allen?"
Jacen double-tapped the screen to make it go blank and turned around at the sound of his name. He blinked a few times to really take in the person who was interrupting his "very important work". It took him a minute for his eyes to adjust, but when he finally focused in, he raised a curious eyebrow.
