Caroline leaned back in the office chair as she began to lightly spin and look up at the ceiling. She let out a sizable exhale as she said, “[color=662d91][b]Okay Caroline, just remember this is for the good of the station.[/b][/color]” Caroline stopped spinning in her chair and closed her eyes as she once again said, [color=662d91][b]“Good of the station”[/b][/color] three more times. Caroline then opened her eyes and let out an exhale as she said, “[color=662d91][b]Yeah and if I keep repeating that over and over, I just might believe it.[/b]”[/color] Caroline shook her head and said, [color=662d91][color=662d91][b]“I can’t do it.[/b][/color]”[/color]  She pulled out her cell phone and pressed the screen twice. Brushing back her red hair Caroline put the phone to her ear and waited. 

When she heard a voice on the other end say, “Hey Caroline” she replied, [color=662d91]“[b]Hey Bob-O I think you know why I’m calling.[/b][/color]” Caroline was talking to her Program Director Bob O’Connor who said, “Yeah I do and yes you have to do it Caroline. They are paying us a boatload of cash and they paid extra to get you to do it on-air.” Caroline replied[color=662d91], “[b]Come on Bob-O this. This is just wrong it doesn’t work for us at all.[/b][/color]” Caroline shook her head and said, “[color=662d91][b]It feels wrong on so many levels.[/b][/color]” Bob replied, “Look Caroline it’s only once a shift for a month. You can do this besides if anyone can make this work it’s you.” There was a pause for a moment and Bob said, “Look take care of this for me and I will put in a good word with Mrs. Popkin about you getting your two weeks off for Memorial Day.”  Vacation time at the station during the holidays was more precious than gold for the on-air staff. Caroline had put in for the time in January and there was still no promise that she was getting the time off. Caroline had promised her  family that she would be home in time for her dad's birthday . It would be the first time she had seen any of them in over two years and Caroline missed them more than she would admit. She took a deep breath and replied, “[color=662d91][b]Done but if I don’t get my two weeks Hell will hath no fury like a Caroline scorned.[/b][/color]” Bob said, “Noted, good luck and talk to you later C-Daws.” 

Hanging up her phone Caroline looked at the clock, and she could hear the notes of Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” begin to fade out. Caroline said, “[color=662d91][b]My family is so lucky that I love them.[/b][/color]” Caroline sat up straight in the chair, and Caroline activated her mic and said, “[color=662d91][b]Bon Jovi on the Bull with their 1988 hit 'Wanted Dead or Alive.' It’s a Tuesday night Sol City Caroline Macmillan with you and speaking of being dead if you have thought about your death or a loved one’s death you need to think about the Funeral[/b][/color].” Caroline then read the copy for a “Ferryman’s Fine Funeral Home” and as she read it Caroline could feel her skin crawl.

Once she finished it Caroline touched the screen twice as The Police’s hit “Every breath you take” started to fill the air. Caroline closed her mic and shuddered as she said with her eyes closed, [color=662d91]“[b]I love my family, I love my family, I love my family[/b].[/color]” Her phone rang, and Caroline saw that Bob-O was calling. Caroline answered, “[color=662d91][b]Please tell me that didn’t sound as revulsive to you as it did to me[/b].[/color]” Bob replied, “No it was worse. You win I'll admit it you were right I was wrong the spot doesn’t work for us at all. I’ll talk to the sales department tomorrow about cancelling the contract.” Caroline smiled as she said, [color=662d91]“[b]Thanks Bob-O, does this mean you’re not going to talk to Mrs. Popkin about my vacation time.[/b][/color]” Caroline could almost hear Bob smile as he replied, “Pack your bags C-Daws you’re going home. I will move Heaven and Earth for you on this one you have my word on it.”  Caroline said, “[color=662d91][b]Thanks Bob-O.[/b]”[/color] Bob replied, “You got it kid have a good rest of your shift.” 

Caroline hung up as she stood up and began to dance around the studio saying in a loud sing-song voice over and over, [color=662d91]“[b]I’m going home![/b][/color]”
