Stan, the delivery guy, has a new charm, but it's not in his personality. It's a new piece of jewellery he found while delivering a package to an antique shop. And Stan knows just how he will use this new lucky charm...
Malicious Intent - Kim
Chapter 1
Tuesday, 19 August, 14:22
In the Office
Kim, Michelle, Karen, Hanna, Nick and Steve are all at their desks in the main office when the security door buzzer sounds. All heads turn to Kim and a resounding laughter rings out at Kim's natural reaction, which is to cringe and turn a slight shade of red.
Kim is a petite five foot, two inch blonde (and very attractive) twenty-two-year-old who knows that come 14:20 on a Tuesday and Friday the security door buzzer will go off, and Stan, the creepy old delivery guy, will shout, "Delivery and pick up," over the intercom.
When she answers, it's not what Stan says, it's how he looks at her that creeps Kim out. And it's not just her that notices. The whole office treats it like a joke.
Kim reaches for the phone and presses 'intercom' on the control. "Marshall's PLC," Kim says, hoping that it will be some client, or a different delivery guy.
"Deliveries and pickups," came the lisped reply.
"Oh, okay," Kim said, and pressed the door release button.
After a moment, the double doors at the bottom of the office next to Kim's desk open and close. With Kim not wanting to look up, she hopes that Stan will pick up the packages in the overnight tray and leave the drop-off stuff next to the trolley and go.
She thinks to herself, It's not that hard just drop off, pick up, and go. But she knows the whole office is watching her and that she will need to look up.
When she does, Kim can see Stan looking directly at her. "Hi, Stan. Well, the stuff is over there, and can you just put the drop-off on the trolley? Thanks."
Stan nods, but is clearly looking at the 34-B chest under the white sleeveless polo top Kim decided to wear that morning.
Kim feels herself going slightly redder again and looks back down at the paperwork she has finished, (but is trying to pretend she's in the middle of.) Kim then notices something unusual. Stan normally leaves after that, but she can sense him shuffling towards her desk and can almost feel the wheezing breathing coming closer.
Kim looks up. "Everything okay, Stan?"
Stan is inches from her desk and drops a clipboard and paper onto it. "New policy. You need to sign."
Kim feels angry at the way he's just dropped the board on top of her work papers, but smiles.
Saying, "Sure thing," she picks up the clipboard and starts to sign (asking no questions so he will go sooner.)
"Not there ...there," says Stan, and he quickly grabs her wrist and moves it to the last column.
Kim notices he has something around his wrist that touches the back of her hand but, eager to get rid of him, she quickly signs the form and gives it back.
"See you Friday, Stan," she says, and looks back at the finished work on her desk, hoping he'll leave, now.
Stan stays still for a few seconds and replies, "Yes, Friday." He then giggles and walks out the door with the pick-ups.
Kim feels happy now that he's left, and starts to laugh as Nick and Steve joke about how much Stan has 'the hot's for her.
Chapter 2
Thursday, 20 August
Work on Thursday is strange for Kim. The day is normal, but she just wants to go home. Not in a 'not well' or 'can't be bothered' way, but in a new way: she just wants this day to be done. So, she spends most of the day not making much conversation with her workmates.
