The stuff of nightmares. Charlotte of all people has in her possession a device that links to the user's mind, allowing him/her to point at any two people and swap body parts between them. This device fell into Charlotte's hands after her uncle stole it from a laboratory where he had worked and then hid it in the attic of his neice's family home before fleeing the country. Of course Charlotte found the device while clearing out the attic (after being told to by her parents), and quickly learned what it was capable of. After that, she had fun using the device on her family.
It was now Monday evening, and Charlotte was going to work, which was something she normally hated to do. But now things were different, since she had decided to take her device to work with her and have some more fun.
************
Charlotte strolled into work a couple of minutes late as usual, and eating the remnants of a Snickers chocolate bar. The grin on her face was evidence that she was still amused by what she had done to her oblivious family earlier while giving her new 'toy' a try out. The device was safely tucked up into her backpack which was slung idly over her right shoulder. "Hey Charlotte!" Aaron greeted her with a grunt, same as he normally did. He was stood waiting for the truck driver to start unloading the cages of stock so he could wheel them onto the shop floor ready to be worked. Charlotte just kept eating but acknowledged Aaron by waving at him.
Once in the store, Charlotte looked around, and saw nobody else straight away. It wasn't until she got near the Help Desk that she heard voices. Helen and Andrea were chatting near the Confectionary aisle. Charlotte could see they were too busy gossiping to pay any attention to her. She glanced on the sheet to see what Liz had put her on tonight, and she let out a groan. "Fucking toiletries again!" she cussed. She hated that section. Just then she heard a familiar voice behind her, and she turned to see Liz standing there, tapping her foot on the floor, hands on hips. "Late again Charlotte!" she said in an annoyed tone.
"Yep!" Charlotte just nodded, as she licked a bit of chocolate off her fingers.
"That all you've got to say?" Liz frowned, looking at her teenage employee sternly.
"I'm late! What more is there to say?" Charlotte chuckled. "I'd promise not to be late again, but we both know what's not going to happen." she then told Liz, grinning as she did so. Charlotte obviously wasn't intimidated by Liz anymore.
"If it happens again, I'm sending you to Elizabeth. Now go upstairs, put your coat and bag in your locker and then come back down and start work." Liz ordered Charlotte, who rolled her eyes.
"Oooh, I'm crapping my pants!" Charlotte grumbled to herself sarcastically. She then casually rested her backpack down on the Help Desk and retrieved her device, wondering whether to use it right there and then.
