Ted Asks Dangerous Questions

The HR guy (who looks frighteningly like Prince Charming) interrupted the morning coffee break to introduce Ted, the new employee. Before HR guy could even finish the introduction, Bob dove for the last donut, so Ted wouldn’t get it. Welcome to the team, Ted.

Ted was curious. What DID Hedger Corp. do? He had expected someone to tell him during the interview process, but alas no.

Finally, he managed to get Sue to brief him. Using many charts and graphs, she explained that no one really knows what the company does. But whatever we’re were doing, we’re not doing it well.

Not satisfied with this overview, Ted went in search of answers. He snuck into the company file room and began searching through folders. Along the way, he found Bob’s old employee-badge photo.

After spending all weekend ransacking the file room, Ted finally uncovered a folder that looked promising.

Trying to keep his excitement in check, he opened the file. He was surprised to see a single sheet of paper… with an ominous message.

Ted froze.

He was suddenly very afraid of what he might see.

And his fears were founded.

An enormous neon-green sock was pulled from behind the file cabinets. And things went downhill from there.

Then he was fully ensconced in the sock. Everything went green.

After significant flopping around, he finally found the opening. When he emerged, he saw that the zombies had straightened up the file room. He appreciated that, but it did not change his resolve. “If you think you’re scaring me, you’re wrong,” Ted whispered, pretty much to himself. “I WILL find out what’s going on. Mark my words: I’ll find out!”
