The new warden was a handsome man, very young, just over thirty. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Charles, "Mister Mecklen, you shouldn't be working here anymore."
Charles didn't know the man, yet the man knew him, a fact that was quite intriguing.
All Charles could reply was, "I haven't received my transfer orders, so of course I must be diligent in my duties."
The new warden laughed, "The first official task I've taken care of upon my appointment is to issue transfer orders for Mister Mecklen."
True to his word, the new warden called Charles into the warden's office and issued him transfer orders.
Only after receiving the transfer orders did Charles realize he had become a "glorious" Chief of the Patrolling Army!
Civilian Clerk Chiefs and military Sergeant Majors are commonly known as the lower rungs of the elite.
