A brief dream VIII

They must be putting something in the water...

I have two jobs, and they have intersected at an unlikely place.

My main job is working for a corrupt Union boss, making sure that the cops never get too close to the truth about the "disappearances" that seem to come up every time there is a labor dispute. Instead of an office, I sit at a grade-school desk with 30 or so other operatives in a preschool. For our latest efforts, we all got $10K bonuses printed on a check emblazoned with Mr. Peabody.

I also moonlight, on retainer, for a Japanese game developer and Anime director. He is just known by "Akira", being too cool to have two names. While he makes animated movies, he likes to use real set pieces. And wherever he films, he brings his cats.

He always loses his cats, though. I am there to find them.

By a strange turn of events, the scene of one of the "disappearances" is also one of the lots that were being used as a set piece. I was madly trying to explain myself to both the cops and Akira when I woke up.
