Ace sat at his workstation in bewilderment.  He started to ask himself, “How did he …?” when Carly entered the office.

“Ace!  Quitting time!  You coming with me or not?” Carly asked.

Ace turned to Carly, “Well, every place I’ve checked wants a credit history and a recommendation from a previous landlord.  I don’t have either.”

Ace masaged his brow, “So I guess I may have to take you up on your offer.”

Carly scowled and in a scary voice, said, “Don’t make it sound like your last choice.”
