She watched as each of her employees entered the room with excitement.  Each in turn she greeted with a large smile and a bright and cheery tone that was perhaps lower than one might expect from such a small woman.  A voice like whiskey and cigarettes which lilted with a upper class British accent.  She doused her smoke in the nearby ashtray and stood, moving toward her desk.

[color=E6C2FF][b]“Since everyone is here then, I will hand out the contracts.  They are just simple things I expect from all of you and a packet that will work as an employee handbook with suggestions on what I would like you to wear, gear you might need, and the way you must behave in order to give this company a good name.”[/b][/color]  She collected a stack of papers and handed them out to each person in turn.

Bitsy waited patiently as her bright and shiny new employees signed their contracts.  She was so enthused about the whole situation she had to light another cigarette and went to shuffle some papers uselessly on her desk.  Finally all of the contracts were handed in and Hobbs immediately pulled out envelopes which contained the $100 and required a signed receipt showing payment had been given.  The young woman had no concept of money and did not quite realize was the sign on bonus was the equivilent of $1,300 nor that their weekly pay came to nearly $700 in todays terms.  All of this for a sake of a hobby.

[color=E6C2FF][b]“The sign on bonus is to ensure you will have a full clean wardrobe, are able to purchase notebooks and pens, as well as to make sure all of you can eat.  A starving investigator is a bad investigator.  All he’ll want to do his investigate what to put in his stomach.”[/b][/color]  She joked in a jovial and friendly way, as if she had known these people all her life.  

Once everyone came down from the shock of the amount of money they had been given, Bitsy decided it was time to get right into it.  [color=E6C2FF][b]“Since we have everything signed and ready we may as well start!  I already have a case lined up for us.  It is through my cousin, he has an archaeologist friend who has had some items moved around or gone missing.  He suspects that a fellow colleague may be up to these shenanigans.  Any questions before we get on with it?”[/b][/color]
