Moving Up

[Faustus Prewett]

"I did," Faustus said as he pulled his wife into an embrace. "I'm the new Assistant Head of the Department, Jane." He kissed her then, briefly, excited by the new chapter of his life that was starting. He was not going to be constantly called away on dangerous missions anymore, and his predecessor had been promoted, not died — although one of the previous Department Heads had died, but that had not been because of his work.



This was exactly what he wanted with his life. A quiet time with his wife and daughters. No more adventure — he had gotten more than enough of that for a lifetime.
