 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Lucas stared up at the carpet as it zoomed around with Rosemary. In his stare, anyone could see the suspicion in his eyes. But as the seconds progressed and nothing untoward happened, the man relaxed. Maybe this really was a harmless carpet which escaped from Transportation. After the carpet disposed of Rosemary, Lucas couldn’t help but think along the same line: his coworker had jinxed herself. He laughed at her dejected tone. “Watch out should it decide to scoop you up without your knowledge.”
He considered the question. “I guess we’d better follow it, just to make sure it gets back to Transportation without any issue.'' Lucas hurried after the object in time to catch Nathaniel preparing to ambush it. There was also a Transportation employee close behind. “We believe one of the carpets from your department may have escaped,” Lucas called to Anna. He nodded toward it in Nathaniel’s general direction.
