Who: Percy and Open to Ministry peeps
What: Keeping up appearances
Where: Ministry Atrium
When: Monday, 15 December
Status: Incomplete
Percy strode down the center of the Atrium among the throng of Ministry employees as he had done so many times before, yet where once he had held such pride and honour in being in this place, now he only felt fear and near-desperation. He kept his head high, dignity strong in his every movement, which helped to hide his disgust as he passed the new monument that had been erected to replace the old fountain.
Head high. Don't look. Pretend you're above them all and they won't suspect you're anything but the dutiful Senior Undersecretary.
The plans with Kingsley would have to come to fruition this week, or else there may no longer be any opportunity to change things for the better. A part of him feared it was already too late, that they had taken far too much time gaining supporters, but they'd had to be careful with their efforts lest they be discovered by the wrong people. So far, Percy was confident that the Minister knew nothing of the plans to throw him over, but one wrong move could change that.
He stood quietly by the lifts, waiting for one to arrive and whisk him away to his office.
