Phil's light-bee

Katrina Swete
Her quarters
After the clean-up at McDonald's
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Katrina groaned as she removed her cleaning overalls. She was sore from two
days of cleaning and drinking. Holly had told her to take the rest of the day
off.
She threw her overalls on the floor. She stopped as she heard a "clunk." In
the tank-top and shorts she wore under her work overalls, she inspected the
ground where she'd heard the noise. She litfed the blue overalls and saw
something on the floor. She picked it up and looked it over.
"Oh, it's Phil's light-bee," she realized aloud. She'd found it on the floor
of the restaurant where he'd had his "accident". Without thinking, she had
pocketed it, a bad habit from her past of petty crime.
"I better give it back."
What does he need it for? came the voice in her head again. He's not a
hologram anymore, you can keep it.
Katrina thought it over. "Shut up, voice." With that, the voice quieted down,
and Katrina started to get dressed. Maybe Phil wanted it for sentimental
value or something.
