Scene 22

Administration Office, Great Hall of X Marks the Scot

Jamie and I followed Dee as he led us to the offices where we interviewed prospective members.

“I thought you might want to handle this one personally, Jamie,” Dee said as he led us down the hall.

“Why is that?” Jamie asked.

We quickly learned the answer when we entered the office and saw who was waiting for us.

“Here he is,” Dee announced as we stepped through the door. The young man waiting there rose and turned to meet us. I knew as soon as he turned around that we would welcome his membership.

“Jamie, Dave,” Dee said as he introduced us. “Allow me to introduce our latest applicant.”

“It’s a pleasure to meet you gentlemen,” the young man said as he extended his hand in greeting. “I hope I can make a useful contribution around here. My name is Ryan.”
